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.'"

  1. And I've got a 10 inch... by cappp · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Those numbers don't match others I've seen although, as with all thing numeric online, it's best to assume a little healthy exaggeration. I did some digging and found that the US Census Bureau's 2010 Statistical Abstract includes a section on sexual activity. The full table (94 for those keeping track) is on page 19 of the report.
    For Males 25 to 29

    95.2% have had an opposite sex partner, 5.7% a same sex sexual contact
    10% had 1 contact
    8.8% had 2
    29.4 had 3 to 6
    23.2 had 7 to 14
    and 23.8 had 15 or more

    Median was 5.9

    For Males 30 to 34

    97.2% have had an opposite sex partner,
    10.7% had 1 contact
    6.9% had
    28.5 had 3 to 6
    21.9 had 7 to 14
    and 29.2 had 15 or more

    Median was 6.4

    There are differences based on race - Latinos have a median of 4.5 and African Americans of 8.3 - and sex: a quick glance at the numbers shows that a much greater percentage of women have had 1 partner (25-29 being 22.5% and 20-24 at 20.5%) than their male peers.
