Abstract
In a recent paper, James Holland Jones and Mark Handcock re-analyze two of the four datasets comprising a database, first analyzed by us, which records the number of distinct sexual partners for Swedish men and women. We argue that the claims of Jones and Handcock can be interpreted in a misleading fashion.
