Stats Show iPhone Owners Get More Sex

Posted by samzenpus on from the there's-a-lap-for-that dept.

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.'"

    Stats are wrong.

  2. Bad science: not more sex, more partners by hessian · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This study suggests that iPhone users report more sexual partners.

    That doesn't necessarily mean more sex.

    One guy who marries a woman, loves her and has mind-blowing sex with her three times a week, is clearly ahead of some guy with an iPhone who had ten one-night stands.

    Actually, this says that iPhone users REPORT sex with MORE PEOPLE than other phones. Maybe they're just more concerned with their image than users of other phones? ;)

    Seriously? You are SO JEALOUS that you are wishing harm upon people who know how to have a good time? Wasn't there a character in Robin Hood like that? Maybe it was Men in Tights.

    For Males 30 to 34

    Remember, all these statistics about sexual activity are self-reported. In other words that means basically they ask you "Are you getting any"? Ask most men 20-34 if they're "getting any" and most of them will tell you they're knocking off a piece every night and two on weekends, that they last for hours and all of their partners are multi-orgasmic.

    Now flash forward to the specific survey of smartphone users. Somebody puts a "survey" on their website asking "do you get laid or are you a complete loser?". First of all, remember this survey is on an internet dating site. If somebody's getting laid regularly, what are the odds that they're going to be visiting "OK Cupid" to try to get a date? Do you know anyone who's ever used an internet dating site? Were they

    I think the important takeaway from this survey is that non-iPhone users tend to be more honest.
