OkCupid: iPhone users have more sex

Apparently, when compared to users who post pictures from other smartphone brands, users who reported using iPhones for their profile pictures tend to identify more sexual partners over all. As you can see in the chart above, male and female iPhone users (at age 30) report higher numbers of sexual partners to OkCupid.
In fact, across all ages, iPhone users reported having more sexual partners than those who used Android or Blackberry smartphones to take their profile pictures. Of course, OkCupid is just having fun here. Maybe iPhone users are actually more inclined to lie about their amorous conquests, or maybe there's a higher likelihood that Android or Blackberry users have reason to report a lower number.
But then again, we already know that iPhone owners tend to be rich, engage in vigorous activity, and like to be outspoken about their buying choices and preferences. And aren't those the kind of people who end up going home with the girl (or guy) from the bar anyway?

But, I really like the iPhone's feature, especially the new iP4 facetime, I don't want this are made use of in sexual. You know iPhone got many top features.

Perhaps-but don't get so distracted that you leave your iPhone at the bar!
Obviously they did not distinguish between hetero and homosexual sex, booyah! Go Team Android!

Plus they're generally too fat to get much
Don't call me a whore.

Maybe it's merited though
