Moving on with more mythbusting. Who's getting the nooky?

For decades, stereotypes about gender and sex were bolstered by surveys in which men reported far more sexual partners than women. But a study in the 'Journal of Sex Research' (wow - I wonder if they have any job openings...) found that if study participants thought they were hooked up to a lie detector, men and women would report the same number of sexual partners on average. 
The results suggested women were the ones lying when they thought they could get away with it, likely being coy about how many people they'd had sex with to avoid being seen as promiscuous.
Apparently, not much has changed. Even as many stereotypes fade, both men and women still feel pressure to meet gender expectations when it comes to sex, a newer study shows.
