Is this a joke? 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?!

Yes, that's exactly how it works. This is nothing particularly new.

Wow. 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.

From the article: unfortunately, the NSFG doesn’t have full data on men’s premarital sexual behavior, and in any event they recall their own marital histories less reliably than do women

Great 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!"

There was a directly linked article on HN about sneaking cell phones into prisons up your ass, with an aside on fisting. So there is precedence.

Reinforcing that people are as faithful as [their knowledge of] options.

This is a study about women, it applies to men as well.

The remaining question would be the utility of marriage stability. As in, this study and most responses to this would be about a desired outcome, about premarital sex or marital stability being "good" or "bad".

There are lots of examples of problems people and families have outside of wedlock, or in unstable marriages, but I would say that is a societal fault for not providing additional frameworks to follow, leaving people to guess and fail at it.

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

The article mentions that this data is not available (and that men are also less reliable w.r.t. accuracy)
