If anyone was hoping that the latest iteration of the National Survey of Family Growth — a measure of the sex lives of American citizens conducted by the federal government — would clear anything up, well, you’re in for a disappointment. So what stats can we pick at? Well, it appears as if something’s going on between the ages of 24 and 25 in this country: more than a quarter of men and women aged 15-24 said they’d never had sexual contact, but in the 25-44 group, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who hadn’t had intercourse. Let’s see, what else? Well, 44 percent of men age 25-44 report having had anal sex, which is probably a bit higher than you’d guess. Hmm, what else — oh, and here’s a good one: 13 percent of women and 5 percent of men reported engaging in some “same-sex sexual behavior,” whatever that means. Of course, trying to draw conclusions about a subject as universal and vast as sexual behavior from a group of 13,495 men and women aged 15 to 44 that were questioned several years ago is kind of like trying to put out a blaze with a Super Soaker — but at least you can’t ever accuse DCist of not giving you something to talk about during happy hour.
