"Here is some info from a study that asked students about the number of partners within the past 12 months with whom they had anal and oral as well as plain old vaginal intercourse.
It has the raw number and percent of men and women answering 0-8, and then 9+. Using Excel, I found the average number of partners for the 9+ group, to make the overall sample mean what it is, 1.72 mean sexual partners per year among the men. Given that, the average for the 9+ group must be about 19.
Then I multiply each group’s number of partners by its frequency (absolute, not percentage) in the population, and sum them all together, to find the total number of hookups that occurred in the sample. (Eg, 3839*1 + 995*2 …) Using the 19 figure from earlier, there were 17,338 hookups reported by the men.
The results: The top 2.6% of men are responsible for 29% of the hookups. The top 5.4% are responsible for 40% of the hookups. The top 28% of the men are responsible for 78% of the hookups. These statistics are for Fall 2010."
