Average man sleeps with 7 women...

[GoldenDelicious]

i know lots of guys who married their first/second/third partner. the more i htink about it, the more i believe it.

but the numbers coming from true powerwhores freak you out a bit lol

i havent had any experience, i'm just making general statements. i've never caught anything, but i know people who have and that honesty hasn't always been their number one traight.

the point i'm getting at is that if i'm close to fucking someone, i feel that if i ask them, that they aren't going to be like "oh yeah i do have something, i just forgot to tell you".. ya know i'm just saying that if i'm going to fuck you then i'm hoping you are going to be upfront on your own. i don't think i should have to ask if you have herpes. you should tell me that.

that said i would never consider having sex with anyone with any type of disease. the whole "you can't control who you fall in love with" argument to me is BS. I've never loved someone before i've been intimate with them. and if they caught it after the fact then they were unfaithful, so fuck them.

Yep people aren't going to be honest about stuff like that and it's usually more likely that a girl who has slept with 50 guys to have an STD than a girl who has slept with 3. Sometimes it is important to know the past of the person you're going to get intimate with. I don't agree when people say 'it's none of your business', because it could affect me greatly.

I caught clamydia in college from my SECOND boyfriend ever. So there goes the theory about one is more likely to get an STD from a skank who has had many partners necessarily. True, I found out that I got it as he was cheating on me and I damned sure wasn't with any one else while I was with him or even with anyone for a long time. Matter of fact I think that the next time I was with someone was when I was with my exhusband and I was faithfull to him until he broker our marital covenant by beating me to the ground... grand total of 13 years.

How many men I have been with once I broke up with my ex is nobody's business but mine. Whether it was one or five thousand... matters not. For goodness sake, I am a grown woman.

I think the article is off. I know that when the pill hit from what I have been told by the people in that generation MANY people were sport-fucking and from what I understand by today's standards, many young women could teach me a thing or two about sex...

No moral judgments here. Just putting in my personal .02

It is ridiculous to ask the number of partners a perspective sex partner has had before they met you. I feel a more pertinent question would be "how long is the longest that you have been faithfully committed to one partner"? I will be 40 in August and the answer is 13 years. I don't know very many people (male or female) who can say the same.

Doesn't make me better than anyone. As I said, I am just putting in my .02

That's why i said 'usually'. Sleeping with a lot of people does increase your chances though.

If a woman wants to sleep with me then i need to know if she's had a lot of partners. I know girls who are in their early 20's and have slept with at least 50+ guys and i wouldn't touch them with a barge pole unless they got tested first.

number of partners matters a lot because of STD risk, but also because if you've fucked 50+ dudes then you are a whore and are probably wide enough for me to eat you out from the inside.

Median does not = average and the median is not inferential to the general population

This article does not say anything about a man or a woman's average number of sexual partners. This writer either does not know about statistical research or the do not know the difference between good research and junk science.

"The median number of lifetime female sexual partners for men was seven; the median number of male partners for women was four"

Median

The median of a distribution with a discrete random variable depends on whether the number of terms in the distribution is even or odd. If the number of terms is odd, then the median is the value of the term in the middle. This is the value such that the number of terms having values greater than or equal to it is the same as the number of terms having values less than or equal to it. If the number of terms is even, then the median is the average of the two terms in the middle, such that the number of terms having values greater than or equal to it is the same as the number of terms having values less than or equal to it. The median of a distribution with a continuous random variable is the value m such that the probability is at least 1/2 (50%) that a randomly chosen point on the function will be less than or equal to m, and the probability is at least 1/2 that a randomly chosen point on the function will be greater than or equal to m.

Mean

The mean of a statistical distribution with a discrete random variable is the mathematical average of all the terms. To calculate the mean, add up all the terms, and then divide by the number of terms in the distribution. This type of mean is also called the arithmetic mean (or more commonly, the "average"). The mean of a statistical distribution with a continuous random variable is the value of that random variable, denoted by the lowercase Greek letter mu (µ), such that the area under the probability density function curve to the left of µ is the same as the area under the curve to the right of µ. There is another type of mean for a finite set of terms that is called the geometric mean, but this is rarely used in statistics.

It is amazing to see how statistics can be manipulated and reported to mean something that the study was not designed to explore or how statistics can be manipulated and quoted so as to mean absolutely nothing and can even be outright manipulations of the truth and down right lies.

Without knowing how the study was done, the exact questions that were asked and the true make up and size of the sample population(this one is easy to manipulate to get the type of answers that you want), and judging from how poorly this study was reported, this article is all but useless.

When ever you do studies about sexual norms, you have to expect a certain amount of people will lie about their history, and becuase many people will not volunteer to participate in sexual information studies, you often have a sample population that does not even roughly approxmiates the general population, and thus the inference between the sample population and the general population is often iffy at best.

It would be better to read the actually study opposed to this poor write up

whew--all that comes from having too many statistical research classses in the same year of school

As long as I keep my scores higher than my birthdays I am happy. did a lot of partying in my 20's.
