Re: Average Number of Sexual Partners
[ QUOTE ]
Maybe something like this happens. Young male sleeps with 3 diff girls in his neighborhood. Young male 3 partners. Each girl one partner. [/ QUOTE ] Yea but if each guy slept with 3 girls then the girls would have to average 3 as well |

Re: Average Number of Sexual Partners
Hey i am in no way a math guy my degree is polisci. Anyway the point i was making is not everyone has to sleep with everyone, so that is why its not 50/50.

If you assume N women and N men, you can see that the average has to be the same. Let's draw a list of the N men and N women. Man 1 Woman 1 Man 2 Woman 2 Man 3 Woman 3 ... Man N Woman N Now, draw a line connecting all (non-homosexual) sexual partnerships ever. Sure, some men will have a lot of links (studs), and some women will have none (virgins). But, what you'll see is that the number of end points of lines on both men and women sides will be equal. (endpoint count)/N = avg sexual partners -RMJ |

Re: Average Number of Sexual Partners
Ok as previously stated not math guy and really dont know if what i said was close to right. I was just commenting really off the cuff. It does seem that if some sleep with some, and some sleep with none etc.. Then it would give you a different avg. I will let some stat guy take it from there.
