French president Nicolas Sarkozy’s hot wife, Carla Bruni, was on The View yesterday promoting her latest album. The issue came up of the 30 lovers she references in a new song and Whoopi Goldberg said that she could top that and she’s bedded 50 people. It’s unclear from this synopsis of the show if she’s including women in that number:
During a discussion on The View moments ago, Barbara Walters teased her Friday interviewee, the First Lady of France, Carla Bruni. She pointed out that Bruni “had over 30 lovers.” Sherri Shepherd, who admittedly has gotten around, asked in shock, “She told her husband she had 30 lovers!?” On the other side of the table, however, Whoopi Goldberg was less surprised. She flashed the number of lovers she has had in her life — a feat that required using both of her hands and her feet. Turns out she’s had “about 50.” “You should do an album!” Walters said, in awe — in reference to Bruni’s own song lyrics about her lovers. “It doesn’t matter how many people you’ve been with in your life,” Whoopi said, throwing it to commercial. “It’s who you stick with.” Which would have been a sweet sentiment, had we heard it. We were too busy sneezing coffee out of our noses.
I agree with Whoopi about the issue that it’s “who you stick with,” but I’m also of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” mindset when it comes to discussing a concrete number with that person you’ve chosen to stick with. Some suggest that you should decrease the number if you’re a woman and have to give some sort of answer to a longterm lover.
There are a few male celebrities who claim to have bedded thousands of women, Jack Nicholson, Julio Iglesias, and Charlie Sheen among them. What’s 50 people compared to 20 times that number and why should men be somehow lauded for being super promiscuous while women are called names?
According a recent study, the median number of sexual partners for a US male in his lifetime is seven while a woman has four partners. About 29% of men have more than 15 partners, and that percentage drops to only 9% for women. Maybe men overestimate and women have a tendency to forget a few. Then we have Whoopi, who is like “whatever, here’s my number,” and that’s part of the reason why I enjoy seeing her on The View. She tells it like it is, but she’s gentle and humorous about it and isn’t combative like her predecessor Rosie O’Donnell.

Jesus H…out of those 50, 50 are probably women. I wouldn’t sleep with Whoopi even if I had Bill Clinton’s filthy unit!!
-
Numbers numbers numbers. Hope there was lots of quality in that quantity, that’s the main thing.
I think those studies are always suspect. I wouldn’t lie about it but equally wouldn’t feel the need to broadcast it as people are inclined to become very judgey and po-faced about these things.
-
Tammy~~ and what would be so wrong for a woman in her 20’s to have been with 50 partners? Who cares as long as they are responsible, right?
I see what you’re saying but you’re also talking contradicting yourself.
-
Those are fifty nasty sons-of-bitches.
-
Ditto on the “50, 500.. who cares as long as she is responsible” comment.
-
I don’t think it is such a big deal. She’s old and times were different back then. And Whoopi seems like a free spirit. But it is different now because with stds, I wouldn’t want to sleep with 50 guys but also morally *Not religiously*, I don’t want my body to be a rent a center. I am still a teenager but I don’t want to end up old and alone with a vagina as big as a pool! LOL!
-
<—laughing at Andrea’s “pool” comment!
-
Wow. I can’t believe today’s society doesn’t blink an eye at having numerous sexual partners. Does it mean nothing, anymore, to share the most intimate act of all with your spouse and only your spouse? Does no one believe in morals? I shouldn’t be shocked, but I am. Very sad.
-
B, it sounds like you are married.
Many of us - including Whoopi - are not.
Are you suggesting that people who never find Mr Right (or Ms Right) should be celibate for their entire lives?
-
oh godd in my school she would be called a whore!but i dont think that because she’s getting old so yea lmaoo at andrea’s comment.
-
Christ, didn’t we iron out that puritanical bullshit on the Alanis post? Fuck only your husband if you have one and want to, and leave the single people alone.
-
Are these men blind?
-
Regardless of how many people she’s been with, I think it’s dangerous to say that it doesn’t matter how many - it can be misinterpreted to downplay the risks involved. She didn’t follow up with “as long as you are safe” or whatnot, and I feel that’s a loaded statement to make.
-
Andrea, the pool comment is pretty offensive and incorrect. Between my only 2 partners I’ve had sex probably about 3500 times, and my vagina is just fine.
-
I am sure 49 of those partners are women, and probably beautiful one.. I love Whoopi, she is so awesome. She is very talented as well.
-
It’s not so simple now with Aids, and other diseases that stay with you for life. Back in the day all we had to worry about was Syph and Gone and the boys….50 is a really low number. That’s not even two a year spread over 30 years and Whoopi is mid-50’s.
-
Those stats don’t make any sense. If men have had a mean of 7 partners and women 4, then there must be a LOT of gay sex happening, more than anyone ever suspected. I’ve always read the average number of partners is 10-12 for both men and women, which sounds about right to me.
-
OK, I’ve been lurking, but this one has drawn me out of hiding.
Whoopi is 53, hardly “old”. She would have trouble getting senior discounts anywhere. The 50s are barely middle age these days.
I don’t think 50 is a huge number of sex partners over 30-35 years, and particularly when you realize that during her youth there was only syphilis, gonorrhea and crabs to worry about. And a large number of sex partners does not mean automatic STDs and stretched-out vaginas. I’ve had more partners than Whoopi and the only sexually transmitted thing I’ve ever had was venereal warts - given to me by my husband during what I thought was a monogamous marriage for both of us. You can take precautions, you know.
But what really annoyed me on this post is the references to her appearance. She is not that bad looking. She has a wonderful smile and a kindness in her eyes that seem quite lovely to me. Sexuality is not a size 4, 18 year old body and a perfect face, it’s something that comes from within. Hopefully the teenagers who posted “ewww” on here will live as long as Whoopi and be as warm, interesting and human as she is. Sexuality does not end at 40, it continues through life. For which I am thankful.

Syko: You’re my hero.
-
Do it all you want. You only live once. Who cares what anyone else thinks?
-
Syko, your analysis is hysterical and correct, as usual
-
*sigh* I remember when I thought 50 was old.
Also, Jerko, what if it was 50 women? Why should that even matter, or be seen as wrong or gross in any way?
As mentioned in the original post, there is an undeniable double-standard regarding the sexual escapades of men vs. women. Always has been, likely always will be.
And finally, you can have morals and be a good person and still have multiple sexual partners throughout the course of your life. You can also be an amoral asshat who’s only ever slept with your spouse. Apples and oranges, folks.
-
I’m sure Queen Latifah was one of those 50.
-
[i]Do it all you want. You only live once. Who cares what anyone else thinks? [/i]
Yeah, great lesson to pass on to your kids. Especially considering that 1 in 4 women in NYC have some type of STD, thanks to Sex With The City.
-
b, your insinuation that people who don’t remain virgins until marriage are somehow amoral offends me. Who are you to judge another person’s morals?
I’m sure there are prostitutes in this world who are amazing people and give back in many ways. And I’m sure there are members of the celibate clergy who are evil.
Someone’s sexual practices do NOT dictate their worth as a human being. To think otherwise is objectification.
-
You can get that high quite easily if you have several people a year whenever you’re not in a long term relationship.
I doubt Babs count is all that low. She shagged Elvis Presley back in the day. (But so did everyone else, except Mary Tyler Moore.) But her daughter probably slowed down her sex life, I suppose.
-
First, I loved Syko’s comments.
I love Whoopi because she is so candid and doesn’t concern herself with the way people think or what they think of her.
Someone said that men overestimate and women forget. I completely agree. I was asked this question recently by a friend and had to give some thought to my numbers. I think what I remember is actually lower than the real thing. I’m sure I forgot a few (probably for good reason). No matter what you consider it a part of life and experience.
-
Syko, you are the coolest!
-
@ WTF
Jesus marie, it was a joke. I know I am a teenager butyou should know being much older than me that you stretch to accomodate the man you you are with. If you have guys that vary in size, then you will stretch. Especially fifty men! But I wasn’t saying every person who has sex has a huge Aaron spelling pool vagina! Jesus marie! LOL! -
1. Syko .. love ya!!
2. Apparently I am a slut .. because by age 42 I have had a lot more than 4 men in my “pool” .. but not as many as Whoopi.
3. Babies stretch the “pool” out far more than Um .. “Units.” If you are concerned .. do Kegel Exercises. They tighten your “pool” in terms of circumference and allow you to grip said “units.”
As for the depth of the pool, I am not sure about the other gals here .. but I don’t enjoy having a “unit” bouncing off of my cervix .. so stretching in terms of depth is fine with me. I don’t need to be screeching “OUCH!!!” in the midst of lovemaking!
As for the slut talk, please. It is a total fallacy that has been foisted on us that sex before marriage is a new thing. It is not at all. Sex prior to marriage was very common up until the puritan era in America .. an era I hasten to add we are still apparently in. In England .. it was common up until Victoria. As far as I know .. the Brits have the bug out of their butts about pre-marital sex. Too bad we can’t take a page.
Lastly, as far as Whoopi goes .. I know for a fact that one of her lovers was Frank Langella. Then, of course and rather famously, Ted Danson. And I think she was also with Timothy Dalton for a time?? Back in the TNG days .. I think they were introduced by Patrick Stewart?? If I remember the tale correctly.
Okay .. I will shut up now.

Guess what? I went outside and found the strangest thing! It was a package marked “Undeliverable.” And guess what was inside? A JOKE! Can you believe that? It was the strangest thing. Anyhoo, frankly my dears, i really don’t give a darn parakeet hoot about your sexual history! Hurrah for you! 2 partners! You shall get the highest award of prestige! I don’t care if you are still tight like a 12 year old girl! Good for you! Sorry, there is no medal but here is a coupon for Bennigans, oh? It’s closed. Oh well! I was making a joke, you do stretch AND whoopi did have a kid. I DON’T mean that she DOES HAVE an olympic grade pool! Joke! LOL! I do know a friend of my sisters did get it tightened. Maybe personal reasons for her. I have no problem with OTHER people having fifty as long as they are safe! Good for you! I am allowed to have opinions and JOKES! I know I am going to have a many more experiences with units and plugs and jumbled wires, sadly not with not Heather Matarrazo, LMFAO! Did you see that? It was a joke..
-
Andrea: LMAO — you’re too funny. Yes, some people are very sensitive about the elasticity of their hoo-ha, but some of us got the joke.
-
Thanks ri23! You are awesome. I wish I could take you to Bennigans for some awesome loaded potato soup!
-
It’s easier to wash it off that to wash it out. Thats why women are slutty and men are not.
-
@therufusonfit
Not true. Try imagining washing your piece with all these genital warts. I work at a doctor’s office and the amount of males who have herpes or genital warts is alarming. And going into a room where it smells like burning flesh is alarming! LOL! I have hardly seen women taking valtrex then the amount of males who take valtrex AND viagra! -
Aw, poor sad rufusonfire. Don’t be bitter. It won’t help you lose that virginity of yours.
Andrea, seriously, hysterically funny post at 1:46, pissing myself laughing.
-
OMG, valtrex and viagra?
Help!Just mentioning in passing - one of the people I work with gets diet pills from a slightly unsavory doctor (referred to by us as the Quack, as in “I’ll be leaving early today, time to see the Quack”) - and his real specialty, besides dispensing amphetamines after cursory examinations, is vaginal reconstruction. Don’t worry, girls, the Quack can rebuild you!

SURE, AND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE’S A BRIDGE IN BROOKLYN I’D LIKE TO SELL YOU!! 100.1% of prostitutes are on drugs.
-
48 of Whoopi pies partners were dildos.
-
vaginal reconstructions…
in my day we called them KEGELS !! and yes, with practice, they work, um, very well.syko, do i know you from another site?*
and adrian, is than you??
(pajiba, yeeeah, or CDAN?? i’m the same all over!)

-
Lol, I will never look at a pool the same way again…….
-
I’m a 50-something year old woman who looks about 30-something. Back in the day when things were safer and better than they are these days, it was nothin’ to have one night stands and stuff. Y’all who know how it was after the disco know what I’m talkin about. I know I’ve screwed over 50 men, never had kids and my vajajay, as Oprah would say, is not stretched out. At least my 20-something lover man says it ain’t
-
LAME. Whoopi is rad and who cares. Most people who get called slus enjoy being called that, obviously because they go around telling everyone how far they’ve gone etc and then expect people not to judge. And for all of you who think there was no Hep B and AIDS back in the day, you’re wrong.

50, 500.. who cares as long as she is responsible. She is a grown woman. If I heard this from someone in their early 20’s, I may be shocked, but big deal.
