She Say One and One and One is Three

Mail Online: "British men consistently claim to have had more partners than women - the current average is 13, while women claim to have had only nine. Plainly, someone is lying here. While men might exaggerate their sexual conquests, the bigger liars are women. When studies about sexual partners or fidelity use a mixture of face-to-face interviews and anonymous computer questionnaires, men will give the same answers to both, but women will report much higher numbers when the answers are anonymous."

Aside from the obvious, that being that no woman can ever be trusted to reliably tell you exactly how many people she's boned, I believe there was a theory put forth that I can't place right now outlining a clever theory why men and women don't claim equal — or even remotely similar — sexual partner metrics.

Prostitution. So a small percentage of women compensate for the difference, and they are either not consulted in the survey outright or their numbers are dismissed for being statistically abnormal.

Figures.
