==[Hypergamy] The top 5-20% of men are having more sex than ever before == | ==[Hypergamy] The top 5-20% of men are having more sex than ever before == | ||
Data was drawn from the 2002 and 2011–2013 National Survey of Family Growth, a US probability-based household survey focusing on sexual and reproductive health. Researchers found that compared to 2002, men overall had the same number of partners in 2013. | |||
However, the top 20% of men had a 25% increase in sexual partners, and the top 5% of men had an outstanding 38% increase in the number of sexual partners. | |||
Thus while the amount of male sex that was had was unchanged, more of the sex was consolidated into extra sex for the top 5-20% of men (ie. "Chads"). | |||

* Although we found no change in median numbers of sex partners [for men], we found significant increases in the numbers of sex partners reported by the top 5% and 20%. | |||
* We found an overall statistically significant increase in reported lifetime opposite-sex sex partners overall for men in the top 20% from 12 in 2002 to 15 in 2011–2013 (95% CIs, 11–14 and 15–15, respectively). | |||
* Similarly, there was a statistically significant overall increase in reported lifetime partners for men in the top 5% from 38 in 2002 to 50 in 2011–2013 (95% CIs, 30–40 and 50–50, respectively). | |||
