I already posted this, here it is again, and it is just one study. http://psych.mcmaster.ca/dalywilson/commentary_schmitt.pdf Furthermore, your reality on the ground is your reality and that's it. It's just your perspective, I know. That's why formal research exists. just the sample size of that study should be enough to make you stand up and take notice which confirms my doubts and makes it invalid as per you assumption.BTW I wonder how much money ole Shmidty got for coming up with this gibberish nonsense.

Oh, is the 14,000+ sample size smaller than the number of people you have personally interacted with and studied?

A lot more valid than your anecdotes.

Originally posted by agri2001 THAT IS WORLD WIDE spread out over 48 countries.Look at the Brazil sample pool 39 men and 49 woman. What does that tell you or maybe your not very familiar with statistical studies.last time I checked there are over 200 million habitants in Brazil if you take the accepted breakdown that 49,6% are female that comes out to  a little over 92 million are of the female sex. So lets say that half are of legal age to afford themselves the right to be promiscuous.That`s over  46 million females.Now according to you the study, having interviewed 49 woman holds validity?Also it is loaded with more then 28% of the respondents being females which also is a red flag because I don't know of too many woman, that would admit to being promiscuous, even some of the prostitutes will take issue with that.So believe what you want if it makes you happy as your argument is invalid along with that bullsh*t report that you posted.

As I said, it's better than your anecdotes.

Well, if you personally 'bedded' these women that certainly introduces some significant sample bias. Seeing as how you are willing to bed 'more than 49 women' places you on the extreme end of the promiscuity scale, it says your conclusions can hardly be considered the norm, and are therefore pretty useless.

I am positive you don't have a university degree, as anyone who does knows that social science professors aren't wealthy. So, it's pretty baseless to say the author of the paper was 'enriching' himself.

By the way, did you ever consider that all of the gringo sex tourists who come to Brazil and believe Brazil is the land of easy sex are influenced by others who really do become rich selling Brazil as a destination for easy sex?

Seek and ye shall find. Sex tourists find sex tourism.

The remark was made to prove how useless was that report that you posted and to prove my point, which based on your reaction I am spot on.You do not know how many years I have been living here or anything about me so your conclusion about my own promiscuity is based on your ignorance about me, not that I hold it against anybody for being promiscuous I am positive you don't have a university degree, as anyone who does knows that social science professors aren't wealthy. So, it's pretty baseless to say the author of the paper was 'enriching' himself. Again you are wrong, I do hold a university degree but I don't know what relevance it has about your inane contentions based on that report By the way, did you ever consider that all of the gringo sex tourists who come to Brazil and believe Brazil is the land of easy sex are influenced by others who really do become rich selling Brazil as a destination for easy sex?  I do not and or never have involved myself in sex tourism as you assert and you making these unfounded and ignorant remarks does not surprise me based on your ability to jump from board to board and trying very hard to prove your ingrained stupidity.This started with a report and now you are trying to take it up to the next level with personal attacks.You came to Brazil, could not make it, went back to wherever the hell you came from and now you are trying to impress everyone on you knowledge of the country from far afield.How long did you stay here?? 3 months?Get a life my friend and check you opinions at the door. Seek and ye shall find. Sex tourists find sex tourism.

I did not attack you. You said you had 'bedded' more than 49 women. I said, as is true, that this fact would put you on the extreme end of the promiscuity scale. Most people on earth do not have 49 partners in their lifetime.

Furthermore, I did not judge you. I just said that your anecdote is not relevant as, judging by your own statements, you are not a representative member of the population, as people who have 49+ sex partners are on the extreme end of the promiscuity scale.

Please do not attack me, as I did not attack you.

Why would you be offended by what I am saying? All I did was question the belief held by many gringos that Brazilians have casual attitudes toward sex. You are the one who brought your sex experiences into the question, and I simply stated that they are not relevant.

Instead of referring to my personal opinion, I quickly searched for formal literature on the matter.

Instead of finding a study with contradictory results, you pointed to your own sexual history as evidence. Well, that's your choice, but I find it highly irrelevant because 1) it is just personal experience, and 2) due to the large number of sex partners you've had.

Why did you mention you had so many sex partners if you would be so easily offended?

I also did not call you a sex tourist. I said that people who come to Brazil with that in mind will find it.

I made no judgments. I don't care what people do. I'm just questioning the stereotype.

The fact that you have bedded 49+ women and your being a gringo only begs the question...

Cheers

Ok, I read the whole thread. There's some massive generalisation going on. I would say that it all depends on the person, family, needs, etc.. I don't really think Brazilian women are "easier" than any other nationality that I've spent time with. On the contrary to what you guys are saying, I really think male-female interaction (initial hookups) are the same as with any other nationality. Women are women and men are men wherever you go.

Cara, 49 is not that many, especially for 20 somethings nowadays. I know guys that had that number when they graduated from High School in the US. There's a lot of variables in there too: what's acceptable for some may not be acceptable for others.
