Bringing up the Average

A new article says that men have a median of seven sex partners in their lifetime. Women have four.

The article doesn't state a few things:




  • sexual orientation of those surveyed
  • if participants had sex with either or both genders
  • gender differences in the population (are there more women than men?)
  • if not (above) who else are these men having sex with..?
  • what the average/median ages of the survey particpants are
  • what defines an actual "lifetime"

In any regards, anyway you look at it, I am clearly I bringing up the average, median or mean.

    Yeah, I think I blanched a bit myself when I heard this report and avoided looking at R. Seven? Apparently, I am shameful. Or maybe just an over-achiever.
