Do you believe the following chart? Assuming a nearly equal number of men and women and the average is the mean (not the median), it that possible?

[Kelley1]

Average number of sexual partners by age-gender and which-decade you were born in.

[msc545]

People lie about this. Men lie that they have had more, and women lie that they have had fewer.

[Kelley1]

Very true. You are the only one that makes since. Assuming an equal number of men and women, the number for women is equal to the number for men. It is not possible to be otherwise because whenever a man fucks a woman the woman is fucking the man. Therefore, the number of fucks are equal. Just divide by the number of men or women to find the average number.

[msc545]

Do you know what a bimodal distribution is?

[lightbulb27]

No I don't.

[oldpigg]

The graph is true because women are hypergamous, meaning they will have sex for money, and they are also hybristophilic, meaning they will have free sex with criminals. This causes criminals and the rich to drastically increase the average number of sexual partners for men. Another fact this graph demonstrates is that those who ruined contemporary society were the baby boomers, a bunch of simp men who promoted abortion, feminism, the birth control pill, and the sexual revolution, which unleashed hypergamy and female promiscuity.

[Kelley1]

That is not relevant.

[FreyaRed]

I don't know. Do prostitutes count as sex partners? Some men have huge numbers in this discipline.

[Kelley1]

The chart may or may not have included prostitutes. However, a sex partner is a sex partner, regardless. In a sense, we are all prostitutes. That is why we fall all over ourselves to marry doctors but turn our pretty noses up at men that clean tables at Denny's. It is just that some of us are expensive. I am not going to turn down $1 million, but I will be insulted if offered $1,000.

[FreyaRed]

Well, my perception about racism and prostitution seems to be different to some users in these fora here, must be cultural thing.
In regard of the topic I think lot of guys aren't especially honest about those self specified number to boost their ego and self perception about their social status. I think those numbers are BS.

[AviatorTom]

Yes, it's possible, for a number of reasons:

• The male numbers probably include gay partners while the female numbers probably do not.
• The male numbers probably include prostitutes and escorts, while the female numbers do not. Males are more likely to interact with sex workers while female sex workers are probably not included in the data.
• Males tend to exaggerate the number of partners more than females do.

[MuddyMole]

The numbers for people born in the 2000s will obviously still increase significantly - some of them haven't even reached the age of consent yet. This just shows that young women tend to wait a bit longer, that's all.

[alice55]

Men does have more sexual partner on average than women it's true, at least for France, they had the double than French women

[DrPepper12]

The bell curve is accurate but female encounters are DRASTICALLY under reported or males over reported

[DCVsMarvel]

These are just reported numbers. You can't count prostitutes, and I'm assuming porn

[Kelley1]

That is not relevant because there is nothing in the chart indicating anyone is excluded.

[DCVsMarvel]

It would be MUCH higher, if they were included. I guaran damn tee it

[Kelley1]

You can't guarantee anything because you lack the ability for logical reasoning. The fact is, if everyone is included, same sex partners are excluded. and If the data was correct, the average number of sex partners would be about the same for men and women, making allowances that more boys babies than girl babies are born, it is impossible to be otherwise.

[Surely]

I guess that I have some ground to make up!

[Dargil]

It would not surprise me.

[Kelly6]

@Kelley1 was born in 80s

[TwoToTooTutu2]

I doubt this is fully true

[Ariesman81]

😬... I'm a slut.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Well never know cause men and women lie about it

[Kelley1]

Most likely, either the men greatly exaggerated or else the women were lying. Ignoring the slight difference in the number of men and women, the only certainty is that the average (mean) for men and women are identical as it is impossible to be otherwise.

[Kelley1]

Edit: Assuming same sex sexual partners are excluded.

[slatyb]

It's not possible.
