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.'"
Stats are wrong.
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.

I'm trying to find a link to the study that showed homoexual men have more partners and less long term relationships.
After logging in slashdot still does not take you back to the page you were on. It's been that way for 20 years.
Let's start an open source project to fix this miserable discrepancy.
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.
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? ;)
Last week poll was about iPad users being rich and egoistical... and now about getting more sex? ;-P
To some it up, they get ditched quickly even though they appear nice on the surface, they really are one sided assholes
Either way I hope they enjoy their HPV induced cervical cancer and other sexually transmitted diseases.
What? I heard if I went with Apple I wouldn't have to deal with viruses or infections!
Are you saying the birth control app is useless too?!?!?!?
Yeah, because everyone that has had multiple partners in the past gets STDs.
You sound like a public service announcement from the Eisenhower administration.
Slashdot still doesnâ(TM)t support Unicode after it was added to the HTML standard in 1997.
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.

And thus can afford prostitutes more often then Android and Blackberry owners.
--- What?
"Wanna find someone for a one-night stand? There's an app for that!"
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Trust me, being widely known as an avid slashdot reader is a MUCH more effective form of birth control!

only hundreds to one.
Actually 3:1, according to most studies(!)...
Most of that is herpes...
THAT explains why so many iPhone haters are on Slashdot.....
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
And yet, according to a genetic study 80% of women have reproduced while only 40% of men reproduced. 60% died without ever reproducing. Until recently, the winners reproduced and the losers didn't. But even women losers managed to reproduce most the time.
There are many reasons for this in premodern societies. (and here I'll use premodern to mean pre industrial revolution roughly)
1) Traditionally mens jobs were more dangerous, and fatalities among men were more common
2) Traditionally men often had to fight in defense of home/state/county/country/whatever in higher numbers, where fatalities were high.
3) In many more traditional societies, women HAD to get married and have children. Less so for men. Maybe not the norm, but think of such famous examples as Newton. It's really only recently even in the US where there is not as much a stigma of a woman choosing to either not get married or not have children.
4) Polygamy or multiple consorts/concubines/girlfriends/what not IS a reason. One rich man can support several wives. Polyandry is not nearly as common.
Polygamy (formal as wives or informal as lovers/mistresses) is very common for the wealthy now and in the past.
But polygamy means one thing--having more than one spouse. Having affairs doesn't mean polygamy.
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.
You are welcome on my lawn.
