How many sex partners does the average male homosexual have in his lifetime?Well now let's see... Wilt Chaimberlain comes to mind here. He claims to have slept with over 10,000 women. Then there's Paris Hilton, who sleeps with anything. Saying that male homosexuals sleep around more than heteros is just silly.
"Saying that male homosexuals sleep around more than heteros is just silly."
I assume you are basing your comment on an assumption you have about this and not on facts. If you did a search on your favorite search engine on this subject you will find that gays do indeed have more partners than heterosexuals. This is just a plain fact that even most gays would not deny.
Below is information I copied and pasted from the catholiceducation.org website which is a great website to go to for information on the health risks of gay sex. I think you might find it interesting. For more information you can go here

Prior to the AIDS epidemic, a 1978 study found that 75 percent of white, gay males claimed to have had more than 100 lifetime male sex partners: 15 percent claimed 100-249 sex partners; 17 percent claimed 250-499; 15 percent claimed 500- 999; and 28 percent claimed more than 1,000 lifetime male sex partners. Levels of promiscuity subsequently declined, but some observers are concerned that promiscuity is again approaching the levels of the 1970s. The medical consequence of this promiscuity is that gays have a greatly increased likelihood of contracting HIV/AIDS, syphilis and other STDs.
Similar extremes of promiscuity have not been documented among lesbians. However, an Australian study found that 93 percent of lesbians reported having had sex with men, and lesbians were 4.5 times more likely than heterosexual women to have had more than 50 lifetime male sex partners. Any degree of sexual promiscuity carries the risk of contracting STDs.
