Assuming your partner is also not promiscuous

• adrianlmm 12y ago
  Of course.

  And because of the friendship paradox, your partner probably is.
  • adrianlmm 12y ago
    Not in my experience.
    • tormeh 12y ago
      What makes you think your partners would tell you if they were promiscuous?
      • adrianlmm 12y ago
        Becase I've only had one partner, my wife, and because I've been his only partnert also, 10 years of marriage.

          You're again depending on your partner being truthful. That's fine, but assuming people are truthful is horrible science. Statistically speaking, 50% of everyone cheat on their partners. The number that serves some white lie about their sexual history is probably way higher.

            You are right, is not only trust, but visits every six months to the gynecologists (something every woman past 30 should do) confirms it. > but assuming people are truthful is horrible science Is not even science, but what are we? robots?

              That's why I said it was fine.

      "Your experience" is not a good substitute for epidemiology and behavioral statistics. When it comes to medicine, politics, morals, and presuppositions should be checked at the door.
      • adrianlmm 12y ago
        Neather yours, besites, I'm talking about non promiscuous persons here (including the partner).

          Ah, the true Scotsman argument!
        • Nursie 12y ago
          And you're still wrong.
          • adrianlmm 12y ago
            How come?

    OT: I didn't know about the friendship paradox phenomenon. Thanks for pointing it out.
