      Well there are also a few who are way above the average dragging it back up again. We need to see a distribution curve

          This is still a bit misleading visually, because the population numbers for the bars are totalled, not distributed among the partner counts within each category. Eg. each partner count within the 2-10 partner bar has an average of ~5% of the population, which is less than the 0-partner bar, but they add up to ~45%, more than the 1-partner bar.

              Oh yeah, true! Although that reveals that we’re missing fine-grained data above 0 and 1, so even with smoothing it’s not very detailed

        For every person who fucked 30 people, you need 6 people who never had sex to bring the average back to 5. I find 5 to be impossibly low, even as someone who’s number is 5.

        Eyy… How you doin’, eh?

        (Sorry. “Beacon” and “distribution curve”? I couldn’t not.)

      I’m a picky slut and only have had seven sexual partners. One of them had over 50, though.

      So there’s at least 55 people with no partners we’re making up for

        I had 30 that I can actually remember when I count them out. And can only remember the names of 15 of them. So am I down right slut or is this not correct. Maybe it counting woman. Most women I met or been with numbers was in the low tens or single digit numbers. It’s always men who I heard have huge numbers.

        Then again some may lie. Once met a 22 year old who claimed he slept with 300 women. I didn’t by that shit at all. At 22 I been with only 4. I didn’t really start getting laid a lot until I discovered online dating. The amount of hookups through that app is off the charts.

          Men and women have hooked up with the same number of men and women. Just how the math works out. 1 dude sleeps with 5 different women, means 5 women all added 1 to their number.

                Ok but choosing not to mention that doesn’t mean that you don’t have to account for it. It just means you’re being wrong on purpose

                  It’s over complicating my point when it isn’t necessary at the time. I don’t know the numbers, but most people aren’t having sex with both genders. So yes, there will be variance, but on the whole the numbers will be equal.

      Guess I’m a whore too, if that is true. I in the mid tens with sex partners. I thought I was on the low end. Is this a legit statistic?
