So I saw this comic describing a formula of the average radius from you where of someone was having sex:  Which, probably to nobodies surprise is correct. (it is xkdc  ) The only flaw that this equation had, was the units. So after some calculations, I cam up with the following equation:  Were: - r= The average radius from you in m.
- p = The population density in km². (different depending on city, can be googled)
- xs = Chance that person has sex (the number of times that someone is having sex per secon.) (~100/year = 3.1705770E-6/s)
- ds = the average duration of intercourse. (15 minutes = 900 s)
Thus if you know the population density of your city then you can use this: }}}) or the simplified version:  The radius for my hometown is 310 m xD Ofc the values can be altered to give the radius of someone doing something, if one has the numbers. _________________ The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. - Frank Herbert Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Knowledge is a powerful weapon, but only when its user can wield it.

Lol, the problem is getting the numbers

Well pop-density is easy to find on wiki Edit: O.o Leiden has a pop density 2.5 larger then that of Rotterdam. That means that there is someone doing it within 203 m of you. _________________The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. - Frank Herbert Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Knowledge is a powerful weapon, but only when its user can wield it.

I expect it to be a little bit less, since it's evening now

Yea, and there are a lot more young people so if we take Xs as 3x a week (156/y) and ds as 30 min then you will have 115 m o.o

NICE!
Plus Leiden has some places where people will never have sex (like the beta campus), so it's even less.

Well, it's not huge, but about 1.5 times as big as a standard house in a city Thank god I'm not living in the centre of Leiden xD Btw, there's also a lot of water in Leiden, so the people density should be even higher for where I live

Uhm... I believe that one floor is about 75  , but I'm not sure, it could also be 85... The garden is about 30 I think...

Then the radius is almost confined to only your house D:

No, since my house is not circular, plus I don't know the numbers exactly, so it could be less

Just find the largest circle that you can fit inside of your house xD Plus a square can be a circle too, if right system us used _________________The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. - Frank Herbert Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Knowledge is a powerful weapon, but only when its user can wield it.

I was wrong btw, it is what he said D: } = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi \cdot f \cdot t \cdot \rho_P}}}) because  is the average people having sex in a km² and you then say  to find the minimal radius of two people having sex in your neighborhood _________________The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. - Frank Herbert Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Knowledge is a powerful weapon, but only when its user can wield it.
