Am I the only one wondering how the chart matches the summary?

The chart doesn't actually contain any information about marriage or divorce rates, and the correlation wouldn't be linear, even if it did. (Why is 4 lower than 2, and 2-4 are barely different?) It's probable that most women in the higher categories never married, at all, or that some cohorts include prostitutes or lesbians.

And we don't know which or how many women tend to fall into which cohort and if some second variable made women more-likely to fall into the first cohort, so that we can control for that.

the x axis is “non marital sexual partners”

y axis is sexually actively 30+

so the only way the 0 group is sexually active is if it’s with their husband

if you have a bunch of sexual partners in your 20s, you have a harder road to have any sex in your 30s and beyond.

what’s ironic, is it literally doesn’t matter what “numbers” the chart says

the principle is objectively true for all human beings.

if someone can’t deal with reality, then they try convince themselves and. others to believe the fiat reality in their head

How many husbands can you have, and stay in the first cohort?

Silberengel 9mo ago

And can you marry a virgin, have sex, divorce, have sex with someone else, and then no longer be in the first cohort? Yes, you can.

How likely is a divorced woman to "save herself" for her next husband.

particulars have nothing to do with the principle.

I never argued the principle. I suspect that I hold a much stricter view of sexuality than anyone else in this thread.

But I don't like it when people just vomit up a chart, to prove some point, when it isn't evident in the chart. I can read.
