Sex in a lifetime: Sexual behaviors in the United States by lifetime number of sex partners, 2006-2010.
Using data from the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth, we found that lifetime number of vaginal sex partners is positively associated with the number of sex partners in the past 12 months and negatively associated with age at first vaginal intercourse among 15- to 44-year-old male and female respondents.
