How Promiscuous Are You?
There’s a very interesting character named Matthew Inman, who’s sort of a Renaissance Geek. He’s a powerhouse in online marketing, but he also has a goofy side. He’s created all kinds of funny and charming things, including an online dating site called Mingle 2. There’s a blog on it that contains many amusing diversions. The first one I found was a quiz called How Sexually Experienced Are You? Turns out I’ve slept with 7 more people than the average person my age. Is that all? Psssshhhhhht. And I thought I was a wild one.
Here are some of my favorite demographic highlights from the accumulated stats:
- San Francisco is the most promiscuous city in the U.S., with an average of 13 sexual partners.
Hmmm, I wonder why that is?
- St. Louis is right behind it with an average of 12 sexual partners.
Seriously? Do you think it’s all that Bud?
- Provo, Utah is the least promiscuous city, with only 3 sex partners per person.
That’s an average of 1 for women and 5 for men, a la Big Love.
- Troy, New York is next with only 4.
My husband grew up there. It’s a boner killer if ever there was one.
- Golf fans have the most sex of any sports fans, with 11 partners each.
Well, it’s either copulate or watch the grass grow.
- Soccer fans only have 6 partners, on average.
Hooliganism just isn’t as hot as it used to be.
- Conservatives have slightly more partners than liberals (9 vs. 8).
Admit it, the idea of Bill O’Reilly banging Ann Coulter is a total turn-on.
- Redheads have more sex partners than any other hair color (except gray).
Sexy redheads include Nicole Kidman and…and….um, Conan O’Brien? (BTW, ew, I hate the idea of old people having sex, even though I’m halfway to Miss Daisy myself.)
- The very religious have fewer partners than the not religious.
Having to poke your penis through a hole in the sheet is kind of a buzz kill.
- People with tattoos have had 14 partners, compared to 7 for those without.
Reportedly, tattoos that say F**k Me Now generate the greatest number of offers.
- Those with an elementary school education also have 14 partners on average. Oddly, those with a middle school education only have 5 partners.
I guess going to seventh grade is a dealbreaker.
If you aren’t pleased with how you compare to your demographic, maybe it’s because you aren’t inventive enough in the sack. I also took a Name that Sex Position quiz and I sucked! (I think I was kinda skeezed out by the GI Joes.)
I also found the Booze Test to be great fun. It probably explains why I don’t remember any good sex positions:

Hi Susan,
I recently found your blog, and overall have been very impressed with it's content. However, this piece of your above post quite frankly rubbed me the wrong way.
” * Obese folks have more partners than slender people (8 vs. 7)
This is excellent news. I suspect however, that obese people screw other fatties. So if that’s not your favorite flavor, put down that candy bar.”
I understand that you're just commenting on someone else's statistics, but for a blog that seems to be about young women seeing themselves in a positive light, I don't see how using the term “fatty” is inline with the tone of this site.
Also, your suspicion is pretty far from correct – I've been overweight my entire sexual life and of my dozen or so partners, only one of them was even close to carrying a few extra pounds.

Eryn,
I totally apologize for offending you. I'll probably get flamed for this, and I guess that's only right. For what it's worth, I have also struggled with my weight since puberty. I've always been a curvy girl, and my husband is 6'3″, 160 lbs. Which just proves your point. He thinks I'm perfect just as I am, and you're right, I am trying to get women to feel good about themselves as they are. I am so comfortable with myself at this point that I guess I got a little glib and carried away there without thinking it through.
I really appreciate your letting me know how you felt, and I hope you'll keep coming to HUS. I'm gonna take down that bit, but I'll leave the comments up so other readers can see what's what.
Oh man, am I gonna piss off golf fans, the religious and people from Troy, NY as well? Yikes.
Alright, I am not sure how accurate these tests are…I took the booze test. It says I am a lush. I've been tipsy once – never drink now. And have no idea how to make a gin and tonic (despite the assumption that there are only two ingredients).
Well, maybe you don't drink but it sounds like you qualify as a mixologist! You did leave the lime out of the G&T, tho.
I thought the liberals would be more “liberal” in bed as well.
