If numbers didnt matter men wouldn't lie and increase the number and women wouldn't lie and decrease the number
You have to consider who is doing the lying. I think the opinion matters if the person matters. Most people do not matter to most people. Further, many keep their mouths shut to avoid abuse, but that doesn't hold inherent value on its own.
And a woman would NEVER tell you how many partners she has really had....EVER
I mean 24+ partners could be easily raked up while in college over 4 spring breaks in Cancun plus the average # of weekends spent barhopping in Collegetown USA and not to mention frat parties or summer trips to Europe and study abroad semesters.
Exactly, people must have never went away to college, were sheltered, or just plain naive if their "shocked" at someone having so many partners
This place is like a damn twilight zone from reality at times
This poll should have gone up to 100 instead of just 24+. It's pretty easy to rack up 24+ sex partners (or even 50+ sex partners) if you've been sexually active for over a decade.

I'm sorry. That is just...nasty. And I am not a prude. 50 people? Wtf?
People do find various sexual activities nasty, if you get my drift, stan. To each their own.
There are some thing you can compare, and there are others you can't.
We're not talking acts here. I don't care what kind of act anyone does (with another consenting adult), regardless of how gross I think it is. That's their business and between them and their preference.
We're talking about taking a deeply intimate activity and turning it into something as common and meaningless as picking toe jam between this little piggy and that one.
This shows how easy it is to pass the 24 mark. I also suspect that women have more sexual partners on average.
if we're only looking at hetero, men and women would have the same average by definition (ignoring a few trivialities like the fact there are slightly more women than men and lifespan differences, threesomes etc)
perhaps you mean median?
if you're counting homosexual relationships, i'm surprised if you think lesbians weigh more heavily than gay men in the numbers department...
as far as padding numbers, i think that's less common than the stereotype. i never pad, and avoid the question entirely if possible (barring anonymous polls )
