Being a rockstar comes with its undeniable image that involves crazy nights, sex partners, drugs, and plenty more. In a Rolling Stones biography by Bob Spitz, he reveals which rocker from the band had the highest sex partner count, and who surprisingly didn't.
The rock era of the 1960's and '70s was dominated by the shock factor that came with musicians like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Back Sabbath, AC/DC, and plenty more. Every member of the band became quintessential sex gods of their time. The chaos on stage also translated to behind-the-scenes and their daily lives.
In The Rolling Stones: The Biography, Spitz explains that the band was well known for their offstage behavior, and it also led to quite a tally of sex partners. While many of the band members' escapades were known, not all of them became public.
Spitz told Fox News Digital that Bill Wyman, Keith Richards, and Mick Jaggerhad gotten together at some point when they were much older to count how many women they had been with. It led to a "shocking number," but also revealed the biggest bad boy of the band wasn't the womanizer fans thought.
“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.”
Throughout their career, Richards was tied to roughly four key women. One of them was Anita Pallenberg from 1967 to 1980, and it became one of the most defining relationships in the rock scene. They would have three children together before breaking up. Richards then met Patti Hansen, who would become his future wife. He was also with Linda Keith and Maggie Abbott in the early '60s, and Sydonie O'Shea in the early '70s.

Compared to Keither, Spitz described Wyman as the band's "unrivaled p—hound," and how the rocker "had a saying in the band that he couldn’t go to sleep alone. 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."
Wyman's escapes would cause controversy as he entered the band married, but let loose, and married his second wife, Mandy Smith, when she was 18. By the time the band became infamous, romantic boundaries were nonexistent, even with Jagger's relationships with Marianne Faithfull and Marsha Hunt.
“That was going to be their image. They weren’t going to bow at the end of every song. They weren’t going to wear suits onstage. Politeness was out the window. They were going to behave the way teenagers and young men in their early 20s behaved. That meant going their own way, being a little insolent and being arrogant. They dressed in their street clothes. They smoked onstage. They were the bad boys, and they liked being the bad boys," said Spitz.
