> RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED TO REPORT THEIR NUMBER OF LIFETIME SEXUAL PARTNERS. FOR THIS SURVEY, THAT INCLUDES ANYONE THEY HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SEXUAL ACTIVITIES WITH, INCLUDING: SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, NON-PENETRATIVE SEX, ORAL SEX, MASTURBATION, ETC., WHETHER THEY WERE IN AN EXCLUSIVE RELATIONSHIP OR NOT.

They’re counting any sex act, and I’m guessing their sampling wasn’t diverse. No wonder their results are significantly higher than the CDC, which reports opposite sex vaginal, oral, or anal sex partners only.
