Do most women "ride the carousel"?

Anonymous
A lot of guys say this. Especially on the internet.

If you don't know what "ride the carousel" is... It's saying that women who "ride the carousel" sleep around with lots of different guys when they're young, then settle for the "nice guy" when they are 'washed up'. Do a lot/ most women do this?

I am am kinda convinced because I saw a study done by the Center for Disease Control and it said by age 21 the average woman has slept with 9 different men. Where as men on average slept with 7. 9 by 21 is a lot in my opinion. At that rate, by age 30 or so they would have slept with 30 or so men. So this is why I kinda believe the whole "ride the carousel" thing. This is NOT some kinda troll. It's a serious question. So, you tell me if this is the case or not with most women these days.
