COLUMBUS, Ohio – For the first time, sociologists have mapped the romantic and sexual relationships of an entire high school over 18 months, providing evidence that these adolescent networks may be structured differently than researchers previously thought.

The results showed that, unlike many adult networks, there was no core group of very sexually active people at the high school. There were not many students who had many partners and who provided links to the rest of the community.

Instead, the romantic and sexual network at the school created long chains of connections that spread out through the community, with few places where students directly shared the same partners with each other. But they were indirectly linked, partner to partner to partner. One component of the network linked 288 students – more than half of those who were romantically active at the school – in one long chain. (See figure for a representation of the network.)

...etc...

Here's the chart:

Does romantically active mean sexually active as well? Lookit that circle!! Does this mean that 288 students basically had sex with eachother through all the connections? Woah.

I read the article now. Damn one guy went out with nine different girls. Whata man wh0re!! The bisexual girls dated the same guy, at different times?

tsk tsk, naughty highschoolers.

I would love to see how circular and twisted and knotted this same study would have looked had it been done in a bigger school without just a mainly white population.

James Moody looks like a big geek.

Yea I spotted the bisexual dude on the chart actually, toward the top. You can see two blue dots connecting each other. It's pretty funny.

So who in that list sleeps around the most?

As near as I can tell without enlarging the chart there's one guy who's slept with 9 different girls, and one girl who was with 6 guys.

In a 6 month period. That's pretty slu-ty on both their parts.

Actually, on the upper right hand side, the two little groups, the one on the left has two girls in it who are connected.

I don't see the two guys, except for the one where the two dots are touching, I think because of lack of space.

How was this information obtained? I find it hard to believe something like this can be done accuratly.

I think there were more than a few guys that went through the roster and said:

Did her
Banged her
Did her
Oh yeah her too

That doesn't mean any of that is true. Girls would skew the data in the other direction. If all they used was interviews, this thing is unreliable. A novel concept though.

There is at least one bi girl too, on the right. Maybe they are still finding themselves. lol

Funny

Most women don't end up finding themselves.
