I haven't seen any official data on the web (the high-ranking hits are overrun by religious bigots), but there's some anecdotal evidence to be found in http://sunsite.berkeley.edu:2020/dynaweb/teiproj/oh/science/aidsnur2/@Generic__BookTextView/5406 (search for promiscuity). They mention 300 to 500 partners a year. (Anecdotally. This is not a statistic). They also mention that this was specific to gay males. Lesbians don't dig promiscuity in that degree.
