Found it, "Pipeline" = they were hooked up to a fake polygraph and asked questions
"Anonymous" = they filled out an anonymous questionnaire
"Exposure threat" = asked questions like it was a normal interview
This was conducted on a college campus in 2004, and you had women go from lying about having 2 partners, to admitting they had 4 (on average) after being hooked up to a fake polygraph.

@synapsid @Dicer >Average college kids had already had this much sex by age 20, 20 years ago well before cell phones were commonplace

@synapsid @Dicer I've read this too, I was gonna say the same thing that for women you'd need to double it and men almost halve it to get the most accurate results

I will try to find it but I remember a study showing that women's self reported sex partners increased almost 2x when they believed they were connected to a polygraph, and men's decreased by about 30%.
Take any self reported stat and double it and you're probably close to the reality on the ground.

@GoodBoyUV @synapsid I don't trust women to accurately self-report sex partners.
I fully trust guys to do so.
