> The National Survey of Family Growth data shows that in 2002 the most sexually active
top 20 % of American heterosexual men had 12 lifetime sex partners while the top 5 %
had 38 partners.3 Ten years later, in 2012, the most sexually active top 20 % now
reported 15 lifetime sex partners and the top 5 % of men reported 50 lifetime sex
partners.
Hasn't been reported yet, but some simple extrapolation would expect top 20% to drop to 8 lifetime partners and top 5% to increase to 80 lifetime partners.
Year | 2002 | 2012
---------------------------------
Top 20% # Partners | 12 | 15
---------------------------------
Top 5% # Partners | 38 | 50
Wow - so what does 2022 look like?
