This is an easy way to figure out if someone has a high ‘body count', study says

How many people someone has slept with is a personal thing that most don't want to disclose — unless maybe you're on a reality TV dating show like Love Island, where they created an entire challenge around the topic.
However, according to a Washington State University study, there is a simple way to determine if a person gets freaky in the sheets often — and it has to do with how much strength they have.
Lead researchers Caroline Smith and Ed Hagen analyzed data from 4,300 US participants. They found that people — both men and women — with upper body strength reportedly have a high number of sexual partners.
It would be assumed that most people hit the gym to get strong and fit — little do they know that it could also be improving their sex lives.
'We found a main effect of strength on mating success proxied by lifetime number of sexual partners and current partnered status, but not past-year number of sexual partners or age at first intercourse,' the study abstract read.
So if your significant other can crank out pushups without breaking a sweat — they might have a high body count.
And there is such a thing as the ideal number of sexual partners for an individual.
The magic number for men is 4 to 5 partners in their lifetime and for women, that number shrinks to 2 to 3 partners, according to a study featured in Social Psychological and Personality Science.
The word 'ideal' is used because it's a person's prerogative how many people they want to get it on with — but if it's higher than what the study said, be prepared to have judgy Karens looking at you sideways.
Considering the average American has only slept with 14 people, according to a poll conducted by Talker Research for LELO, the 'perfect' numbers for both genders are fairly low.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that the average body count number for people in the US is lower than 20, because America is not having nearly as much sex as it should.
The average American is only getting it on once a week, according to sad sack statistics, released by mattress company NapLab.
New York and New Jersey need to step it up. New Yorkers are only doing the deed 1.39 times per week and New Jerseyians are getting freaky only 1.21 times a week.
