#2The odds of divorce are lowest with zero or one premarital partners.
Makes sense to me. Those people are either the least interested in pursuing sexual relationships solely for pleasure or the least able to do so, so might feel more compelled to stick with a marriage that isn't 100% as they either won't be doing it for sex or might feel unable to find someone else.
However, I think the more interesting thing to research would be links between perimarital sex and marriage stability :-D

#4Great, can we get an article from the Family Research Council next?

This is a right-wing think tank that's promoting barely-disguised "traditional values." The quality of their "research" is garbage.

#5So much about quantity and nothing about quality? How about If women had better premarital sex they were more likely to get a divorce?

Hey men, thinking of putting a ring on it? Better find out how many guys she's fucked before you showed up.
Never mind how many women you've slept with. That's not part of our study, Because Sluts. Amirite?!

#7Great research, next up, a more granular look: what specific types of sex increase stability the most? Oral? Anal? Role play?
"Honey we need to purchase this anal training kit with matching strap on. For the marriage. I read it on Hacker News!"

This is mostly because low divorce rates as well as virgin marriages are both highly correlated with religion, which is explained in the article.

#9Doesn't mention much about how Men's relationship between divorce and the number of sexual partners influence in those cases of divorce.

#10Wow. Not a word about the man's number of sexual partners in the marriages that stayed together or divorced.
On the other hand, it's apparently very interesting if the woman is a virgin or not when married.
