OK, this is the Dope. Eggheads, us all. Let’s math this shit. Let’s posit an early puberty and an early cherry pop - say 12. That’s 4 years to 16, or 5 depending on how you count. 5 is easier math, let’s use that one. So he’s claiming that, over his high school years, he had sex with 30 different women _per annum_, or over 2 different girls a month. This at an age where just getting to second base is year-long assiduous _work_ based on my recollection ; and all with the face and personal charisma of Alex Jones as handicaps. I’m not saying he’s a liar. I’m saying he might just have admitted to raping up to 30 girls in [del]1990[/del]1986, possibly killing them too. Maybe he should deny it, because this is troubling information. ---
