In study after study and in country after country, men report more, often many more, sexual partners than women. But there is just one problem, mathematicians say.

I’ve seen promotional material you people wouldn’t believe. Digital billboards for ships on sale off the shoulder of Orion. I’ve watched movie posters glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
