Men are sluts
 

well, maybe not really (made you look!). But they sleep around with more partners than women. duh.

Here's a news story about a new survey on U.S. sexual habits:

US Survey Tracks Sex Behavior

(scratches head) The numbers don't match up--If that's the case, who are these men sleeping with? Some women are getting really lucky!

I read this survey last night. I'm below average...just 6. April is right on average...4.

From my college knowledge, I heard the average person has sexual relations with 17 people but falls in love only 9 times.

These stats seem way off!

Men exaggerate and women lie.

The men are having sex with foreign sluts.
Hmmm, must PM Elspode about that invite...

The article suggests that previous studies prove you right on this. Supposedly this one used a new methodology to compensate for this tendency.

I wonder what the figures are for Australia. Those figures don't match anyone I know at all.

Must be the weather. lol

From the article; If you could log on a website anonymously, I'd buy it... maybe.
But what they are describing is a situation where you are in their control, you answer on a touch screen, so you know they can match the answers with you. The only thing they've eliminated is having to say it out loud to a live person.

I think the women are under-reporting their sexual partners due to our culture's bias towards viewing women with a high number of sexual partners as sluts.

I'm personally not surprised about the results.

Men usually want to admit to having a high number of sexual partners.

Women usually don't want to admit to having a high number of sexual partners.

There is also a double standard in there. If a man sleeps with many women he is a pimp, ladies man, player, etc. And women are either sluts or whores.

One meaning is positive (or at least taken as positive) and one is taken as negative.


Now I can see why a girl would lie about the number of partners but if a guy lies (assuming he goes up...hehe), then that is pretty sad.

If everyone would just tell the truth we wouldn't have these stupid expectations about things that aren't even true.

Really, if it's just sex for the sake of sex, who gives a rats arse how many you've been with?

Thats coz we are all wanton sluts who like sex though :D

Religious people, duh. Best ignored if they get up in your face about it, or laughed-at.

I don't agree that it's the religious people. Definitely not here anyway. There's plenty of people in Oz who still look down their noses at chicks with high tallies.

It's got to do with society as a whole which includes many factors including religion.

Ducksy, you're right. We're just wantin' it all the time. ;)

You really don't think that mind-set is rooted in/came from religion?
