I doubt it.

[hechicxxrr]

It said the survey covered people aged 20-59, I assume a 20 year old won't know what their lifetime score is so I guess it's their current value.

Mike, I suggest you look up how they calculate life expectancies. They calculate mortality rates among different age cohorts and then combine them to get an overall age.

Just found the actual study. The median, which they report for men as 6.8 (?), is a crude number which is uncorrected even for the amount that the age structure of their survey does not correspond to the age structure of the 20-59 cohort in the US population.

The medians for age subgroups in their samples are as follows:

20-29: 5.4
30-39: 7.6
40-49: 6.9
50-59: 6.9

They don't appear to specify, but I'm interested in knowing what type of median they are using. The sample median will always be either an integer or half-integer for data restricted to the integers.

Oral sex is only half sex

[wmtravelservice]

Maybe the numbers are complete fabrications.

[Gypejeva]

Maybe they rate things on some funky scale.

Vaginal intercourse is worth 1
Oral sex is .5
Cleveland Steamer is 1.7
etc.

Three people here have had sex with more than 30 women?

thats just nasty

[induffike]

Three people here have had sex with more than 30 women?

in a row?

[iodillalm]

huh. i appear to be the only person in my demographic.

[Snocioncilm]

Damn homosexual orgies...

[Orefsmisits]

Im 50 and have had a wonderful fullfilling life.

I have been married happily for 24 years, so leave 26 years for my +30 partners.

As a young miscreant, a bouncer in clubs, for 8 years plus living with outlaw bikers as a young and up and coming young strapping dude, its not that unreasonable to get 30 partners from age 14.5 to say 26, less than 3 partners/encounters a year

[Vagtlaldo]

It asked girls how many boys they slept with, and boys how many girls (as far as I could tell from reading the article).

Bisexual obviously wouldn't matter. Except that generally they have higher partner counts.

Transgendered should be a huge rarity... in the US it is just not that common.

I've been sexually active since I was 21 and in those ten years of sexual activity, I've had **** buddies whom I would hook up with more than once, and then there are people I dated whom I had developed feelings for, and then there are people whom I just hooked up with once. I guess I will include all three of these types when I vote in JM's poll.

[SpyRemo]

I'm above the median for my age cohort and the age cohort I'm about to enter. All the ***** I get from here on out is just gravy.

If you're getting gravy, it ain't *****.

[d1Bc25UP]

Oh and I'm above the median but my number has stayed constant now for 11 years

[Atmotteenrift]

I'm below, and am likely to stay there.

I know of only 1-2 physicists (who aren't swinger types) who would be much above. Even the one who had had a lot of women before graduate school, had settled down by the second year or so.
