I'm personally not surprised about the results.
Men usually want to admit to having a high number of sexual partners.
Women usually don't want to admit to having a high number of sexual partners.

There is also a double standard in there. If a man sleeps with many women he is a pimp, ladies man, player, etc. And women are either sluts or whores.
One meaning is positive (or at least taken as positive) and one is taken as negative.
Now I can see why a girl would lie about the number of partners but if a guy lies (assuming he goes up...hehe), then that is pretty sad.
