For the U.S., studies are indicating a shift from an average of 2 lifetime sexual partners for women and 6 for men in 1970 to about 4 partners for women and 6 for men in 2006,<ref>http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/pages/faculty/welliott/Sexrevns.htm</ref><ref>http://www.iub.edu/~kinsey/resources/FAQ.html#number</ref> however, the first study reports medians and the second means, and this change can also be possibly explained by women having become more honest about their sexual lives. | For the U.S., studies are indicating a shift from an average of 2 lifetime sexual partners for women and 6 for men in 1970 to about 4 partners for women and 6 for men in 2006,<ref>http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/pages/faculty/welliott/Sexrevns.htm</ref><ref>http://www.iub.edu/~kinsey/resources/FAQ.html#number</ref> however, the first study reports medians and the second means, and this change can also be possibly explained by women having become more honest about their sexual lives. | ||

and among the minority who engages in dating, in a 2018 U.S. study, among people who live an active, uncommitted dating life, heterosexual men met an average of 2.4 partners for dating or sex in the past 12 months whereas that figure was 5.1 partners for women.<ref name="ref33"></ref> | and among the minority who engages in dating, in a 2018 U.S. study, among people who live an active, uncommitted dating life, heterosexual men met an average of 2.4 partners for dating or sex in the past 12 months whereas that figure was 5.1 partners for women.<ref name="ref33"></ref> | ||
This figure may be explicable by women's ruthless drive to exploit their generally higher mating market value by maximizing the number of men who are competing for their affections, in effect leading men on and only choosing a minuscule number of them to have sex with, as there does not seem to be evidence of the general population of contemporary women being wildly promiscuous in comparison to men. However, this seems to vary by age cohort. | This figure may be explicable by women's ruthless drive to exploit their generally higher mating market value by maximizing the number of men who are competing for their affections, in effect leading men on and only choosing a minuscule number of them to have sex with, as there does not seem to be evidence of the general population of contemporary women being wildly promiscuous in comparison to men.

So there do seem to be substantial country-level variations in female promiscuity and sluttiness, even among Western countries, and arguably also variation between different subcultures. (However, it should be noted that the survey by Durex has been criticized for undersampling, a criticism that reveals a lack of statistical nous as even relatively small surveys can be valid as long as the sample is representative of the general population).<ref>https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/05/12/methods-101-random-sampling/</ref> | So there do seem to be substantial country-level variations in female promiscuity and sluttiness, even among Western countries, and arguably also variation between different subcultures.
