Women more likely to lie about sex life

[RememberJohn]

Women are more likely to lie about their sex lives than men, according to a study conducted by two U.S. universities.

Women were shown to underreport the number of their sexual partners after being told they were hooked up to a polygraph machine, said Terri Fisher, psychology professor at the Ohio State University, who co-authored the study with University of Maine psychology professor Michele Alexander. In reality, the polygraph — or lie detector — test was fake.

Researchers said the women changed their answers depending on whether they believed their responses would remain anonymous or whether they would be caught lying.

I have long suspected that if you double the encounters that a lot of women report, and halve the encounters that a lot of men report, you get something approaching reality.

They call it the Law of 3's.... men exaggerate x3, women minimize by the same amount.
