Sex partners, onset of sexual activity and marital outcomes - insight of married, widowed and divorced folks is needed (marriage, guy)

[nald]

This topic is pointed at people who are (were) married, a question is posted by a guy who was never married and I'm sure other unmarried people will be interested to observe comments and factual results by married people who post their results and insights.
This poll is conducted in order to evaluate a possible correlation of onset of first sexual activity in your life and number of sexual partners (exlcuding deceased spouses) and observe their effects on the likelihood of divorce as the final point of their marriage based on these input parameters. Each individual case is indeed unique, but it is argued that the earlier onset of sexual activity (contrasted to the later one) as well as increased number of sex partners that don't qualify in "Medieval concept of sexual exclusivity and monogamy" will result in higher likelihood of separation and/or divorce.


1. Your age of onset of your first sexual intercourse (remember that i.e. [mod cut] counts as sex):
a) under 15 y/o
b) 15-21
c) after 21st birthday

2. The details below will describe your:
a) first marriage
b) second marriage
c) third or any subsequent marriage

3. How many sexual partners did you have prior to meeting your spouse (excluding deceased previous marital spouses):
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2+

4. Length of your marriage
a) under 5 years
b) 5-15 years
c) 15+

5. Current outcome of your marriage:
a) still together
b) widowed
c) divorced or separated/in process of divorce

You may do this multiple times for each marriage that you had. You are free to comment any details about your marriage that you find relevant, but remember: this is not about determining "who was at fault".

I.e. answers would be aabac and abcca for people who remarried.
I'd be glad if the posters on another, indirectly related topic (If you're married, do you know how many your SO slept with?) could offer their insight in here while also giving out some info about their own life - hopefully they won't find it too much "invading" when it comes to their anonymity (or privacy).
It'd be great if the total sample is over 50 responses, and an N=100+ would be excellent. I guess it's going to have far less poll responses, though.

P.S.: I hope moderation approves this topic and helps with keeping it on-track, so that people can share their lifetime experiences.

Mod cut: quoted post deleted.

The reason for this poll and a separate thread from the one I linked is that there was a side-debate that's indirectly related to that other topic. I'm trying to see insights of posters in here and observe the patterns of their relationships and eventual outcomes.
I felt kind of surprised that around ten people jumped in to claim that the past behavior, specifically past sexual behavior - happens to be irrelevant. Here everyone has the opportunity to post SOME of their personal data, pretty vague data indeed (thus the age ranges and specific number ranges were formed, as well as for simplicity), where we may observe patterns of behavior and future outcomes.
I don't want to "blame" them for their relationship failures, but to observe the correlation of city-data posters.

I've googled out this graph after a few clicks, discussing this matter. Here's the general graph for you to observe:

Mod cut: copyrighted image.

Mod cut: orphaned.

Marriage is made out of two people. It'd be good to observe two marital partners and likelihood of divorce/separation as an "end-stage" at some point in their lifetime, while also observing number of sex partners of both parties, as well as the effect of "difference" in these numbers (thus difference in attitude towards sexual promiscuity), and to combine it with the onset of sexual activity: It's a lot different to observe separation rates for 18 y/o couple who may marry due to pregnancy, because of "stopping to live in sin" or because of something like that. Elder couples don't reason like this, or they're much less likely to reason like this.


In short: I'm interested to see the "results" among the city-data members, at least among those who frequently post around here on this sub-forum.

I deleted the post that was mainly an explanation to a post that no longer exists after a major "clean-up" session.

A number of posts were also related to the bad median ranges and addressed the number of years and I acknowledge that at this point - I made a bad "count range" based on my personal opinion of "median" values. The poll was also in an a/b/c manner because I thought that people who are "more shy" about their personal detail will be more willing to give a bit of a vague "information" that concerns their own lives as well.

A number of people had already answered the topic so it'd be bad if I altered the poll questions or ranges.
This means that i.e. question #3 will likely show c) option ("2+") for overwhelming majority of answers, something that I didn't intend to happen, but life goes on.
