I initially started tracking the data as a way to encourage myself to have more sex with my then Boyfriend. I continued it and used it more as a journal to track satisfaction and inform further decisions.

    Please give me some ideas of additional information to track in 2026 as I'm sure my now single sex life will be more interesting.

    Feel free to ask any questions.

    1. I used my Notes app with simple bullet points by month.

      I used Chat GPT to transform the data into an excel spreadsheet and through several iterations was able to get the data for the graphs imported into sheets.

      I then used excel to form the graphs.

    2. Whoa, is this considered a hoe phase lol? Protected or unprotected can be a good metric to track next time.

    3. I find this interesting. My gay friend mentioned that his chart was just a flat 0 for 2025 on all that criteria. It’s neat to see this in a statistical manner but it feels weird to given this data represents people and emotions and experiences and it’s just a bunch of bars now.

    4. 50 people in one year is actually crazy. It is not my place to tell anyone what to do but man I am not sure if that can be good for anyone.

      That’s a ton of sex. Congrats! I’m curious about the 7% no orgasm. Why? At party or public sort of thing?

    6. Ok what’s the difference between a sexual encounter and a sexual partner? When I see partner I think something long term. Single encounter partner doesn’t make sense to me

    7. Congrats on the (hopefully) fun year. Also, please be careful with your sexual health.

      Circuit party and dark rooms? I have no idea what those are…

    8. About how common is this for a 28 year old gay man where you live? I’m curious if this is representative of your demographic.

    9. You were bottoming out in July!

      Celebrating the dog days and Independence Day with more enemas than there were original colonies.

    10. I admire your dedication, but I could never do this. I’m just lazy. What I do wish I had done is kept a list of all of their names.

      The topping percentage and the “partner only” orgasm percentage lining up so perfectly is going to lead to some data over-interpretation.

    12. Either I’m too picky or I live in a not so dense gay area and I’m honestly leaning towards the second. I only wish I could have 150 encounters, if I had to guess I’m maybe at 20-30 in a year.

      This is pretty interesting.

      Depending on where you live, the public health training in me suggests you track things like condom use (if any) and medication adherence (examples: PrEP, doxyPEP, HIV meds if living with HIV). If you’re seeking to best understand satisfaction along with, or versus, sexual health considerations, that could be a nice eye opener for you (even if you don’t share publicly).

      Could also be interesting to consider how your mental health is monthly (using something like the Patient Health Questionnaire, or PHQ, 4). It could give an overall sense of whether things like partner total or STI presence or some other indicator is higher in months when you’re feeling up or down (and/or feeling down plus having sex mostly when under the influence).

      Lastly, what you’re doing is a self-directed, adapted version of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) methods. EMA methods are good at raising peoples’ self-awareness about things that they’re doing, though (like you found with your ex) it’s not exactly designed to promote positive behavior change. Just make sure you don’t find yourself purposefully seeking out partners or decide to forgo your normal approaches just to make prettier and more interesting graphics next year!

    14. You have orgasm by partner, but I’m willing to bet you also have the data to include orgasm by position

      nowhere on here doesn’t mention anything about the use of protection… 😔

      (except for next year – in the notes)

    16. Sad that you have to track STI’s but I guess that’s the risk in so many partners?

    17. Crazy__Donkey on

      i dont keep track, but as someone who probably had more than that amount, but with a single partner – you should keep your self (and partners) safe.

      im (m) 15 years older than you, so you probably dont know the aids ads of the 1990’s (when you sleep with your boyfriend, you sleep with their ex, and with their ex’s ex and ex’s ex’s ex… maybe one of them had aids). having sex with so many partners put you (and others) in a huge risk.

      So at what point does a partner get to see this? Do you have to _gauge_ the data nerds? 😏

    19. OldLadyReacts on

      As a Gen Xer who grew up during the AIDS epidemic, please for the love of god tell me you’re using condoms.

      Also, gross question but, how much cum is that? Maybe put that on your metrics for next year 😉

    20. Have you considered tracking the primary sexual orientation of your partners? If I’m to believe what’s written in the apps, there a small but significant percentage of straight men having gay sex. I presume because it can be easy, fast, safe, and uncomplicated.
