The One Where Joey Was The Face Of VD

You know that diary you keep hidden in plain sight amongst the books on your bookshelf that contains a list of all of your sexual partners? Do you ever wonder how your number compares to, say, Ross and Rachel's numbers? No? Well, now you will be able to compare them anyway. A Redditor has watched every episode of Friends and compiled a list showing how many sexual partners each character has had. Note: 1 point was given for "confirmed sex (either by strong innuendo or plain admission)," and a half point for "Unconfirmed sex (e.g., 'I dated a guy')." And since they all turned 30 in 2001, and the show ended in 2004, they were roughly 33 when these numbers were accurate.

And of course, here's a look at where all the magic happened.

Now who is going to give Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha this treatment?
