The median number of opposite sex partners for women is 3.2 and 5.1 for men.
88.7% of women have been sexually active with an opposite sex partner and 88.6% for men.
And for the highest number of partners in the study, 8.3% of women and 21.4% of men have had 15 or more partners. While the number of sex partners increased with age, by the age of 24 more than 14% of men and 7 % of women have had 15 or more sex partners.
One interesting demographic for both men and women, is the group most likely to have the highest number of partners (15 or more) are those who have previously been married and are not currently cohabiting, i.e. divorced and dating. While some of that may be a reflection of age, it is hard to know if other factors are also involved (the study simply addressed numbers, not the “why”).

people in general dont fuck a lot of INDIVIDUALS, and it has nothing to do with morality, but more to do with psychological predispositions, economic situations, mental health, a whole host of things.
