Roughly 3-4. In addition to Maggie, there was Tamlyn in "Temptations Eyes," she actually knew who Sam was. Nicole in "Catch a Falling Star". And Abigail Fuller in "Trilogy Part 2". Nicole and Maggie are both inferred, but not said explicitly what happened; so they could go either way, but he probably had sex with both. He gets real close with a lot of other women though; there's a great deal of other types of physical affection, and on a several occasions they talk about him falling in love with some of the women on his leaps, and nearly has sex a few. So I wouldn't restrict the litmus test of what might feel like a challenge to his relationship to Donna strictly by whether or not he had sex with them; because in any convention situations the types of relationships he's had with women he's encountered through his leaps would be normally be an issue for a married man. The context just happens to be different, at least in part, because in those cases he doesn't remember being married when he becomes romantically infatuated with someone else. It's a little questionable whether or not they should have even had Sam and Donna be married, on account of the fact that even if he doesn't remember that relationship, the audience subsequently knows; and it retroactively changes the nature of the relationships he'd had previously, and the others that follow. It also makes it even more lousy that he doesn't return home, setting it up so he unwittingly abandoning the wife he doesn't know he has.
