Page 1 of 3 Men Lie About SexHow many sexual partners have you had? If this were an actual survey, would you lie about it? The discussion often comes up during the beginning stages of dating, and apparently a lot of people are lying about their numbers.
When it comes to opposite-sex partners, the numbers in research aren't adding up. Mathematicians say the average count for each gender should be the same, yet most surveys out of countries like the U.S. and the U.K. find men are reporting two to four times as many sex partners as women do!
So are men fibbing to embellish their sex reputations? Or are women stretching a little more than the truth when it comes to their sexual history?
After all, evolutionary argument argues that men are supposed to be promiscuous. That's what allows them to spread their seed in their effort to guarantee the success of the human race. Women, on the other hand, need to take care of the offspring with those few suckers - I mean, fine gents - who are willing to stick around and help out.
Still, statisticians are sounding the bell that it is impossible and incorrect for survey results to show heterosexual males as having more partners on average than heterosexual females.
So where are all those extra partners for the males coming from - or, in the female's case, disappearing to?
Men's lies: Men are pigs?While unfair social notions want to chalk men up as pigs on this matter, researchers warn that male sexual antics do not explain the great gender divide in sexual histories. They further discourage any idea that there are a bunch of "lucky Joes" chasing after the same women.
While investigators will often point to prostitutes, who are not included in such surveys, as one possible reason for the difference in numbers, a society having a few busy ladies does not support the math involved. The idea that men are getting busy at popular destination spots in other countries further doesn't support such.
