This seems like a really interesting piece for this sub. I am most intrigued by the fact it measured sex based on frequency as opposed to lifetime partners. With lifetime partners, it doesn't give a good idea of how men and women differ because you can acquire partners in different years at different rates, and probably forget some of them lol.

​

But this study actually does show that there is some non-negligible portion of women (10-11%) that are sharing the same man with other women. Since 82% of women have had sex in the past year, but only 72% of men have, some portion of those 82% women have had to have slept with a man who's already slept with some other woman in the same year, as there are 10-11% too few men for all women to have a monogamous partner.

Although I disagree with the red pill on a lot of points, this study does play in their favor, with giving some concrete evidence to things like the CC or the alpha / beta split.
