  the solution is that a few men have more sex than the average woman because men are more likely to take advantage of more of the opportunities available to them than women are

  but most men have much less because their opportunities are so much fewer than the average women. Glad you are a lawyer and not an economist. Well maybe you could be a supply sider.

  I understand what you're saying, but your explanation doesn't add up.

  You're saying that a small minority of men ("a few men") pretty much take away from the rest of men a lot of the sexual opportunities men have. My point is that for this minority of men to take away so much opportunities from the rest of men that the average man would have less sex than the average woman, this tiny minority of men would have to be having sex with different women ALL THE TIME.

  It doesn't make any sense, and what it sounds like is you making excuses for your own lack of success. It's not your fault, you see, it's those movie and rock stars that have taken away all the women.

  Furthermore, i googled this question, and it seems that in EVERY SURVEY, men say they have had more sex partners than women. You could say that this is because men overstate to prove their sexual prowess, and women understate to prove their chastity, but i find it hard to believe that every single survey would come out the same because of this.

  PS Are you an economist?
