flopsy, the hypermobility certainly does come in handy, if you know what I mean. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* Unfortunately, at the moment it's just making my knees hurt.

Application of regression analysis showed that the total lifetime number of sexual partners in both surveyed years was related to age, living outside marriage/cohabitation, living in a large town, falling in love many times, early timing of the sexual debut, frequent sexual intercourse, present masturbation, the use of alcohol before the last sexual intercourse and regarding religion as only slightly important. A large number of sex partners is thus associated with aging, independence, a lively and versatile sex life and a secular lifestyle.

-from Eamondaly's link.
