No studies don't show that.
Anti-gay groups have a long history of lying about studies
For example: the family Research Council's
Comparing the Lifestyles of Homosexual Couples to Married Couples : “ In their study of the sexual profiles of 2,583 older homosexuals published in the Journal of Sex Research, Paul Van de Ven et al. found that "the modal range for number of sexual partners ever [of homosexuals] was 101-500." In addition, 10.2 percent to 15.7 percent had between 501 and 1,000 partners. A further 10.2 percent to 15.7 percent reported having had more than one thousand lifetime sexual partners.”
Horrible statistics for gay men…until you read the study itself.
What Van de Ven actually said: “… men had either 1 (28.5%)or between 2-5 (44.9%) partners and (23.9%) had had between 5 and 10 partners ever.” P. Vande Ven A Comparative DSemographic and Sexual Profile of older homosexually active Men. Journal of Sex Research 1997 Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 349-360
Meaning that 97.3% of the respondents had less than 10 lifetime sexual partners… leaving no room for the outrageous numbers the FRC claims.
From that same FRC page: "A study of homosexual men in the Netherlands published in the journal AIDS found that the "duration of steady partnerships" was 1.5 years."
Tis is from "The Contribution of Steady and Casual Partnerships to the Incidence of HIV Infection among Homosexual Men in Amsterdam," Maria Xiridou, et al, AIDS 17 (2003): 1031)
What the FRC is leaving out is the fact that the research conducted by Dr. Xiridou was about promiscuous gay men. Any and all gay men in a monogamous relationship were excluded from her study.
More?
“Similar extremes of promiscuity have not been documented among lesbians. However, an Australian study found that 93 percent of lesbians reported having had sex with men, and lesbians were 4.5 times more likely than heterosexual women to have had more than 50 lifetime male sex partners. “
Here they are misusing Katherine Fethers, Caron Marks, et al., "Sexually transmitted infections and risk behaviours in women who have sex with women," Sexually Transmitted Infections, 76(5): 345- 349, p. 347 (October 2000).
When you read the study you find out that it was conducted at a mobile inner city STD clinic that served prostitutes.
Real studies on the topic, ones that compare similar groups of heterosexuals and homosexuals show that both groups have identical numbers of sexual partners.
Billy, J.O. et al the sexual behavior of men in the United States. Family Planning Perspectives
gay and bisexual men, 24% had one male partner in their lifetime, 45% had 2-4 male partners, 13% had 5-9 male partners, and 18% had 10 or more sexual partners, which produces a mean of less than 6 partners. 20% of heterosexual men had only one partner, 55% had two to twenty partners, and 25% had more than twenty partners giving heterosexual men a mean of 7 lifetime sexual partners.
Fay, R. Prevalence and patterns of same-gender sexual contact among men. Science 1989 (243): 338-348.
heterosexuals has a mean number of 7.3 sexual partners per lifetime and homosexuals had a mean of 6.8 sexual partners per lifetime.
