Does a body count matter with sexual partners?

Edit: I’m assuming the question is asked with marriage in mind. In other words, does a high body count before marriage have a negative impact on the marriage?

Absolutely it matters. All that follows is one sided, dealing only with the number of partners a woman has had. The reason is, according to researchers, information from men regarding their numbers is unreliable. I find this hysterical given the joke (that’s not a joke) that says; If you want to know the actual number of sexual partners a man has had you take the number he tells you and cut in half. If you want the number for a woman you take the number she tells you and multiply by three. I know that’s an over generalization but in my experience it’s not off by much. Now, to the facts.

Studies have shown that women with 0-1 partners before marriage (either wedding night sex or sex with spouse before marriage) have the lowest divorce rates, around 5%.

Women with exactly 2 partners (one before marriage and her husband) have the 2nd highest divorce rate, 30%. (It's assumed that having "just" 2 partners creates a comparison dynamic that puts the husband and the other man in competition, sexually, in the woman's mind.)

Women with 3, 4-5 & 6-9 partners before marriage have divorce rates of 27%, 25% & 28% respectively. Women with 9+ partners before marriage have the highest divorce rate at 33%+.
