Stats Show iPhone Owners Get More Sex

An anonymous reader writes "According to OK Cupid's survey of 552,000 user pictures iPhone users have more sexual partners than BlackBerry or Android owners. By age 30, the average male iPhone user has had about 10 partners while female iPhone users have had 12. By contrast, BlackBerry users hover around 8 partners and Android users have a mere 6. As the blog's author's wryly observe: 'Finally, statistical proof that iPhone users aren't just getting f*@ked by Apple.'"

    Another way to look at the study is that iPhone owners are insufferable idiots not prepared to make the compromises necessary to stay in a long term relationship

    What are you talking about? They've been faithful to Apple and AT&T for almost four years now.

    Either way I hope they enjoy their HPV induced cervical cancer and other sexually transmitted diseases.

    Well now you're just being jealous. You'd take 10 sex partners if you could get 'em.

    Yeah, because everyone that has had multiple partners in the past gets STDs.

    This ignores the Coolidge Effect. Shortly, novelty leads to better sex. To quote the wiki:

    The term comes from an old joke, according to which U.S. President Calvin Coolidge and his wife allegedly visited a poultry farm. During the tour, Mrs. Coolidge inquired of the farmer how his farm managed to produce so many fertile eggs with such a small number of roosters. The farmer proudly explained that his roosters performed their duty dozens of times each day.

    "Tell that to Mr. Coolidge," pointedly replied the First Lady.

    The President, overhearing the remark, asked the farmer, "Does each rooster service the same hen each time?"

    "No," replied the farmer, "there are many hens for each rooster."

    "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge," replied the President.

    No, that one actually works, though running the transmitter at maximum power runs the battery down fairly quickly (be sure to keep the phone in your "front" pocket for maximum effectiveness).

    I think It's pretty safe to assume if your on slashdot you probably haven't had experience with 10 one night stands in a single week.

    I think it's pretty safe to assume that if you've had 10 one-night stands in a week, you don't live on the planet Earth, as there are only seven nights per week here.

    I think you may be on to something with "fewer requests for repeat performances".

    My guess is that partners call back the iphone users to arrange a repeat, but end up having so many dropped calls they just give up.
