Twenty thousand. Almost every casual sports fan has heard of Wilt Chamberlain and the claim that he slept with 20,000 women over the course of his life.
Twenty thousand. Almost every casual sports fan has heard of Wilt Chamberlain and the claim that he slept with 20,000 women over the course of his life.
Now you have to admit, that number sounds way too round and
convenient to be based on any sort of truth. Where did it come from? Allegedly,
he created that figure after a 10 day stay in Honolulu where he slept with 23
women. He took that rate of promiscuity, divided it by 2 to be conservative
(for a pace of 1.15 women per day), and multiplied by the number of days he had
been alive and sexually active (since age 15) to arrive at 20,000.
So this begs the question: did Wilt actually accomplish the
feat of 20,000, or was that just an arbitrary representation of his success with
women? And just for fun, where would other famous athletes and celebrities fall
on the spectrum of sexual conquest? Let’s pretend that Vegas sets over/under
lines for degenerate gamblers like myself to bet on - what would these lines
be, and where would I put my money? With great pleasure I present to you the
Durex© Athlete/Celebrity Cocksman All Stars.
