While it's interesting as food for thought, that data on that page is pretty fluffy, as it's gathered from a dating site. A couple of example reasons:
- The majority of their users are presumably single and and finding it hard to find relationships
- Some/many of their users may be inclined to put a spin on themselves to appear how they want to appear, rather than actually showing who they are.
So, for example, this statement: "the statistical reality is that gay people as a group aren't any more slutty than straights."
I'm not saying that their data came to the wrong conclusion, I have no idea if it's right or wrong, but it is possible that on average gay men do have a lot more sexual partners, it's just that the ones raising the average don't need dating sites, it's also possible that a lot of the straight men are lying to make it appear as if they have had more sexual experience than they actually have.
