National Sex Study Confirms Need To Encourage Female Condom Use

We were eagerly anticipating the findings of the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior — a comprehensive survey of 5,865 people, ranging in age between 14 and 94 and of various backgrounds and orientations — which were released to the public yesterday. Want some interesting factoids? This thing’s got them in spades. The survey proves definitively that sex, like race, is so much more than simply gay and straight (as if we didn’t already know that) — there were 40 combinations of sexual activity described by the participants as their most recent sexual event. Men think that women have an orgasm in 85 percent of sexual encounters, while women claimed they only climax 64 percent of the time. Men prefer getting right to knocking boots; women prefer a melange of sexual activities. Plus, we couldn’t help but notice that pretty much every media outlet utilized the same (admittedly fantastic) AP file photo to illustrate their reports.
