Просмотрел сейчас тоже. Забавно, там так походя отмечено, что "The average number of same-sex sexual partners among those reporting any such partner was 12.86 in men and 3.53 in women" (p<0.001), но не приведены аналогичные числа для числа opposite-sex sexual partners среди тех, у кого same-sex sexual partners не было вовсе. А было бы любопытно сравнить! :) 12 -- это как-то много.
Угу. Если заявленное среднее кол-во партнеров противоположного пола тоже оказалось бы в три с половиной раза больше у мужчин, чем у женщин, то получилось бы неудобно. :)
One of the most reliable and perplexing findings from surveys of sexual behavior is that men report substantially more sexual partners than women do. We use data from national sex surveys and studies of prostitutes and their clients in the United States to examine sampling bias as an explanation for this disparity. We find that prostitute women are underrepresented in the national surveys. Once their undersampling and very high numbers of sexual partners are factored in, the discrepancy disappears. Prostitution’s role in the discrepancy is not readily apparent because men are reluctant to acknowledge that their reported partners include prostitutes.
Потому что при таком уровне хвастовства и привирания всякое доверие к цифрам исчезает, и становится неясно, что авторы исследования, собственно, измерили.
