A new Rolling Stones biography by Bob Spitz says that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and bassist Bill Wyman at one point compared their sexual histories, according to multiple reports. The accounts describe a marked difference in how each member characterized their experience. One member, identified in the reporting as Keith Richards, is described as being far more romantic than his widely known “bad-boy” image, while another reportedly stopped counting at 1,800. The comparison is presented as part of Spitz’s biographical research into the band’s private life and personal reputations. The reports also say that the group’s recollections highlight contrasting attitudes toward dating and relationships, rather than a single, uniform “wild” narrative. While the coverage centers on the specific claim about a sex-history tally ending at 1,800, the broader theme across sources is that Spitz’s work depicts more nuance among the band’s members than public perceptions suggest. The reports do not indicate that the biography provides independently verifiable documentation for the figures, but they attribute the claims to the biographer’s findings.
