how many male companions they've had.
For hetero males the usual term for male companions is "close friends". I bet the great majority have some.
But go ask some hetero women whether they think sex and companionship are well-separable :-/
Also I get the feeling 21th century Americans have fewer close friends than the historical human norm.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
