Topic: Surveys of numbers of sexual partners.
Fuchs !!4KU9PSdLG started this discussion 15 years ago #3,115
Numbers are always interesting:
> "In the U.S., a 2007 national survey had the following results: the median number of lifetime female sexual partners reported by men was seven; the median number of male partners reported by women was four."
> "In 2008, a U.S. university study of international promiscuity found that Finnish people are the most promiscuous in the industrialized world, British people being most promiscuous among big western industrial nations. The study measured one-night stands, attitudes to casual sex, and number of sexual partners.[6][7][8]"

> # Males 30-44 report an average of 6-8 female sexual partners in their lifetime (Mosher, Chandra, & Jones, 2005).
> # Females 30-44 report an average of 4 male sexual partners in their lifetime (Mosher, Chandra, & Jones, 2005).

Well, the numbers suggest that men are generally much more promiscuous; I don't see how you could make it into a misogynistic statement.

I've had sex with one woman.
Two girls have touched my penis.
I've had many blowjobs & handjobs.
I'm a motherfucking boss, baby cakes.

Here's the curve, so it seems:
> "A new nationwide survey, using high-tech methods to solicit candid answers on sexual activity and illegal drug use, finds that 29 percent of American men report having 15 or more female sexual partners in a lifetime, while only 9 percent of women report having sex with 15 or more men."

Remember that these statistics only refer to heterosexual relationships. I didn't include any sort of statistics in regards to homosexuality AFAIK.

> The top-10 ranking OECD nations with a population over 10 million on the study's promiscuity index, in descending order, were the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Australia, the United States, France, Turkey, Mexico, and Canada.[6][7][8]
> Another study that looked at promiscuity based on total number of sex partners found that Austrian men were the most promiscuous males in the world with 29.3 sexual partners on average, while New Zealand women were the most promiscuous females in the world with an average of 20.4 sexual partners. New Zealand was the only country studied where women averaged a higher number of sex partners than men.[9]
Oh my.

So I looked at the article and their data is mathematically impossible. The mean for men is 20 and the mean for women is 6. If we assume that there are an equal number of men and women, the mean for men and women must be equal (even if it were one guy having sex with every women, the means would still be equal), only the median would be different.

Well aren't homosex men usually very promiscuous? It would skew the results, I would think.

I'm not sure if I approve of relations with one third of a person. :(~
