With Warren Beatty‘s recent rumors from an unauthorized biography of having slept with almost 13,000 women in his lifetime, it makes you ask just one question: Why?

Not why would a man sleep with that many women? The answer to that question is easy. We’re men. The reason behind that simple, one word question is why would any man claim to have slept with that many women? The numbers just seem ridiculous if you do the math. Wilt Chamberlain claims at least 20,000 and Kiss‘ Gene Simmons claims somewhere in the 4,500 range. Even Slash of Guns ‘N Roses fame says his stake is somewhere in the hundreds but less than 500. I think that is a bit more reasonable being that they started in the 80′s during the hair days and roadie sluts moved in herds are hair band shows. Another story about Three Dog Night’s singer, Danny Hutton was that he was having sex so much that his pecker became swollen and damn near split in half. Ouch!

Does anyone really care about a celebrities “sex-capades” (musician or not)? I don’t, yet when I hear big numbers I can’t help but break out the calculator and start estimating how many women someone might have to have screwed in a years average time in order to come up with that figure just so I can call bullshit. It all makes for good, fun conversation every now and then but in the end it just makes the person who made the claim look like a complete tool. Do people really give a shit about these numbers or do these celebrities say this kind of stuff to feed their own ego and image? What do their present wives think of these stories?
