Never wrong... Ok, sometimes's avatar

"(boosted significantly by one guy hitting the cap of 50 I set, but this might be a BS response - he also said he lost his virginity at 30+ and reported 126 partners)"

Easily explained by a 30 year old Silicon Valley engineer finally plucking up the confidence to hire a prostitute, and having the financial means to feed the resulting addiction

> I made sure to use shorter scales for autism and schizotypy, but in hindsight these and the mating orientation questionnaires were still needlessly long, and it would've probably gotten more completions if I used even shorter scales or just narrowed the scope down to autism.

True autist wouldn't be deterred by a long questionnaire.

What do you think a reasonable length would be, 60 Q's?

Maybe log(lifetime partner + 1) ~ AQ + controls would've yielded a higher correlation? Lifetime partner count looks like it'd have a log relationship.

Good point; I also found a pretty big effect using a negative binomial model.

Pornography is every autistic teen boys heartbreak since 2005. Women being defiled by terrible men and loving it is a hetero males most primal fear.

The whole world ignores how deep this terror, rage and jealousy runs in the hearts of young men in love. Being brutally disabused of any notions of female innocence by the hardest-core gonzo porno ever made by age 14 is our sick society’s only rite of passage into manhood. wHaTs WrOnG wItH bOyS aNd mEn?

Being told not to feel any kind of way about this unspeakable refinement (actually you like it and its your fault) is breaking their spirits. They cope with denial and escapism. Oh, and of course lashing out at their abuser/love object. Hence the demand for degradation in this foul enterprise.

When I was 15 I dreamed of rescuing my crush from bullies, walking her home from school and feeling her boobs. I never thought maybe she wants to lick my ***** (sorry to be so vulgar, but). Jesus H. Christ. Are we going to terrorize another generation? Remember all the dumb boys I mentioned?
