I recently read an article that said the average man has 12 sex partners in his lifetime, and his wife or girlfriend has only 4. On the face of it, this can’t happen, assuming the population is balanced between men and women. Of course, there are other factors, like “his wife or girlfriend”, implying a lot of single women sleeping around to fix the curve, or possibly “sex partners” implying gay sex as a way to bump up the numbers, but I’m thinking there’s some lying going on here. The question is, are the “average men” pumping up the stats, or are the “wives and girlfriends” bringing them down? It’s a totally different ballgame if the women stats are obtained by asking the guys… Just some food for thought on a Friday afternoon.
