While 48% of men admit having had sexual intercourse with more than ten people, only 26% of women say the same. The question is obvious: who are men having their sexual relations with? Answer: either men exaggerate, or women hide the facts.

Another interesting contraposition: single women seem to attribute a higher value to men's bodies than those married with children. On the other hand, it's married men who most appreciate a woman's physical qualities. And further information: married women are less jealous than singles, and almost half of them say they don't dare sharing their sexual fantasies.
