Kind of a weak correlation, especially using the stratified classes chosen.

More than 10 sexual partners could be 12, or 1,000.

One more sexual partner causes all that? Or are there other variables not studied?

“Among the men, those who reported 2-4 lifetime sexual partners were 57% more likely to have been diagnosed with cancer than were those who reported 0-1.”

When I first read the title, I parsed it differently, and asked myself, “Which ten?”

[Egon]

Simultaneously?

[Gman]

Good thing I stopped at 9 and the dwarf...

[fhayek]

Uh, do thumbs count...?

[Bob434]

it is reported that 28% of gay people have 1000 or so partners during their lifetimes- and 83 have had more than 50

Will gay people scream about an unfair report?

[Beagle8U]

When they ask 1-10 partners, are they asking for the number per event?

[Revel]

But don’t worry because 9 is OK.

[RainMan]

What a completely worthless study.

[Mastador1]

If this was true then queers would the most cancer ridden demographic in the world.

[Buckeye McFrog]

High numbers of partners also points to a lifestyle with many other high-risk behaviors (drug and alcohol abuse, etc.)

[Spok]

Being married, I have no sexual partners.

Smoking causes cancer. We know that.

Now we learn being a Ho does too?

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Does a “half” count?
