I don’t even know 0.8 people

You probably don’t know 54.8 people currently but you probably met 1,000s or 10,000s in a lifetime. And some people meet more than others and some more so in their young adult years, and some people have casual sex more often than others. Every state has their extroverted easy going sexually open and attractive minority that have high body count but survey suggests Washington state might have a larger minority of that type of group.

This doesn’t feel statistically accurate

They surveyed 3,151 people. WA is ~3.5% of the USA so that's 116 people proportionally representing 7.7 million
Seems way too low.
They also don't say how they picked who filled out the survey.

Na a couple thousand people is actually quite statistically significant for the country. That being said, I'm sure there's a metric fucktons of flaws with this survey because there's no way in hell it's accurate. Doesn't pass the smell test.

A couple thousand people is probably good enough for getting the average of the country, but a little over a hundred is probably insufficient for getting the average in this part of the country. Sample size is really all that matters, not sample size as a ratio of a whole.

And Oregon has an average of 10? These numbers are nonsense.
It took me two seconds to find the CDC numbers.
walklover1212 OP t1_j2o4tpz wrote
The CDC numbers are national averages which are still interesting but there are probably certain states that are way below average and some way above average that the cdc doesn’t show or share.

This whole data set is really just an advertisement for the company that performs relevent surgery and medical procedures.
They attribute Washington's spike to grunge music. What?
There is no credibility here at all

Oregonians are much uglier.

I'm struggling to imagine how one even accumulates that many
walklover1212 OP t1_j2o6sfr wrote
For attractive extroverted open minded people who regularly go out and meet people, one could get to 50 before age 25. It would be average of 6 partners per year (new partner every two months) from age 18 to 25.
Fox-and-Sons t1_j2p3v5c wrote
Yeah, whenever people talk about these numbers being impossible, it's very strange to me. My number is certainly not that high, but that's because I got into a committed relationship at 22. If I just kept dating and screwing around at the same rate I was from 18-22 (particularly 21-22) it would have been easy to hit those numbers by 25.

Very doable if people tend to like you before they get to really know you 🥲

Who the fuck is "Bespoke Surgical" and why would we care about their results? These numbers are stupid.
walklover1212 OP t1_j2o7943 wrote
All surveys have their problems. None are or can be perfect but they do reveal something if there is significant differences. In this case, sex partners across states. If not at all accurate, then it shows Washington people more likely to lie in a self reported survey than any other state.

You can't draw any conclusions from a poorly constructed and methodologically unsound poll other than the pollster is an idiot.
numba1mrdata t1_j2n6ogy wrote
There's no way that's accurate

> RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED TO REPORT THEIR NUMBER OF LIFETIME SEXUAL PARTNERS. FOR THIS SURVEY, THAT INCLUDES ANYONE THEY HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SEXUAL ACTIVITIES WITH, INCLUDING: SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, NON-PENETRATIVE SEX, ORAL SEX, MASTURBATION, ETC., WHETHER THEY WERE IN AN EXCLUSIVE RELATIONSHIP OR NOT.
They’re counting any sex act, and I’m guessing their sampling wasn’t diverse. No wonder their results are significantly higher than the CDC, which reports opposite sex vaginal, oral, or anal sex partners only.

I rented a room once from a guy who told me about his conquests that were in the 500+ area. I didn't think much of it but in the 6 months I was there I saw at least 13 people. This guy was 45+ so he'd probably been doing this for a while. So I'm guessing there are a few skewing the numbers higher.
I can see 55 being accurate.

What do you think were the main reasons he was so successful with casual sex? Im assuming they were with women. Was he super attractive? Charming? Funny? Or just not picky?

Not really, but maybr a little. I kind of thought CA or OR would be higher.
I lost track after about 25-30 decades ago. I guess some people keep meticulous bed post notch records.

They probably asked a bunch of guys and with the rule of three this brings it down to 17.5 ish. And let’s be honest, Washington guys are prone to embellish a lot so it’s more like 3, give or take 2.

I’m just spit balling ideas here but Washington (puget sound) is pretty liberal. I feel like liberal leaning people get married later on average than conservatives. So that leaves you more time to run through partners. I could be wrong. All I know is I’m bring that average way down.
shanem t1_j2mwmpg wrote
The state is not pretty liberal though, it's solidly marginally liberal. There's certainly selection bias in this survey and they only have 116 people proportionally representing WA
