“It’s a lot more easy to find male genitals than female genitals,”
Please. You live with your own genitals for 18 years, you're gonna find them.
more easy --> easier
Regrettably, there are some simple steps that could have been taken to test the accuracy of these statistics that don’t appear to have been done here. Take, for example, the chart on the percentage of male vs female students who have had sex: it’s interesting, but the problem is that the two genders may have been giving false responses at different rates (for instance, one might think, men succumbing to peer pressure and falsely claiming not to be virgins). A simple trick would have been to ask a follow-up question: “How many current Princeton students have you had sex with?” Simple math tells you that if you add up the numbers for male student and add up the numbers for female students, those two totals should be equal. The further apart they are, the more likely your study is invalidated by too many false responses.
"Simple math tells you that if you add up the numbers for male student and add up the numbers for female students, those two totals should be equal."
Simple math tells you that it's possible for 100% of the guys to screw 1% of the girls.
"Simple math tells you that if you add up the numbers for male student and add up the numbers for female students, those two totals should be equal."
false. and heteronormative.
@11.2%: Your trick might work, but what if you just happened to survey a group of guys and a group of girls who hadn't been having all that much much sex with people in the other group?
Oh God, Ameena. You left serious investigative journalism at the Tory to write this drivel? You're certainly making a name for yourself, but I hope you can sleep (pardon the pun) at night, in the middle of this tabloid-fit cesspool.
It is so wonderful to see the Prince writing artciles that speak openly and honestly about sexuality. Thank you.
guys masturbate more than girls? and we needed a front-page article to inform us of this?
unnecessary and written, i imagine, for the shock value of -gasp- having a front-page article on masturbation.
Raise your hand if you didn't know dudes choke the chicken more often than girls play their own banjo!
This article would have been more informative if it had been filled with hilarious analogies for masturbation.
