I'm keen to see a survey with a reliable sample size and quality that contradicts my viewpoint. While I have numerous references to back my claim, I specifically direct you to NATSAL-2 (I think it's against to rules to post links here, but you can find them easily.). Interestingly, although slighlty, more men than women reported having had sex before age 16. This challenges the notion that a few 'bad boy' high schoolers are involved with many girls, doesn't it? Tables indicating heterosexual encounters over four weeks, the number of opposite-sex partners in the past five years, and several others paint a fairly balanced picture.

However, I recognize two potential arguments against my perspective based on this study:

1- The classic issue of underreporting and overreporting. One might point to the data indicating that only 10% of men are diagnosed with STDs compared to 20% of women. I'm open to hearing your thoughts and evidence suggesting that misreporting significantly skews results, even in professionally conducted studies like NATSAL-2. However, consider the fact that women are much more likely to undergo routine checks for Chlamydia (a major contributor to the gender difference in STD statistics) and tend to experience more severe symptoms from it.

2- There's a slight imbalance observed among younger participants, especially in the 16-24 age group. While the difference is noteworthy, it's relatively minor. I genuinely doubt such a disparity would be noticeable in real-world interactions. Moreover a HUGE number of women in this age bracket tend to date older men. I mean, come on, you don't even need a study to know this. Even an average age gap of just 2 years could sideline a considerable number of younger men. Thus, this discrepancy is likely more a result of younger women dating older men than a small fraction of young men being exclusively involved.
