Bill Wyman was reportedly the most promiscuous of all the Rolling Stones. Here's what he told his bandmates about his sexual history.

The Rolling Stones’ image is undoubtedly one of sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll, and Bill Wyman reportedly far eclipsed his bandmates in sexual partners. According to Stones biographer Bob Spitz, Wyman, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards attempted to determine the number of women they slept with over the years. While Richards’ number was surprisingly low, Wyman’s was staggeringly high. 

Spitz, the author of The Rolling Stones: The Biography, said that years after the band’s wildest days, Wyman, Jagger, and Richards discussed their sexual partners.

“The Stones have always been known for their offstage behavior,” Spitz told Fox News. “They got together at one point — when they were older men — Bill Wyman, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger — to decide how many women they had slept with over the years. A shocking number.”

Wyman had cataloged his partners over the years, but reportedly gave up counting after nearly 2,000. 

“Bill stopped counting at about 1,800,” Spitz claimed. “He had kept a journal with the name of every woman he had spent the night with. Mick thought his total was in the hundreds. Keith counted four on his fingers. So, when you look at them as a promiscuous band, you have to put things into perspective. Keith, who was the baddest of bad boys, turned out to be the most romantic of the Stones.”

His number makes more sense given the saying he used to tell his bandmates.

“Bill Wyman had a saying in the band that he couldn’t go to sleep alone,” Spitz said. “Every night, he scouted the most beautiful young women standing closest to the stage. He would point out one or two, and one of the roadies would invite them backstage.”
