New survey on sex in US, biggest since 1994

Remember these numbers don’t include the Larry Craigs, Eddie Longs and Ted Haggards, who lie and deny.

Same-Sex Sexual Behavior
Sexual activity between men was relatively uncommon.

Among men ages 18 to 59, 4.8% to 8.4% reported having received oral sex from another man in the previous year. However, 13.8% of men ages 40–49 years and 14.9% ages 50–59 years reported such lifetime behavior. A total of 4.3% to 8.0% of men aged 18–59 years reported having performed oral sex on another man in the previous year; however, more than 10% of men in the 18–19, 40–49, and 50–59 age groups reported having ever engaged in this behavior. Receptive penile-anal intercourse was the least common behavior reported (less than 6% of men in any age group in the past year). Lifetime receptive anal intercourse was most prevalent among 20- to 24-year olds (10.8%) and those aged 40–49 and 50–59 years (8.5% and 9.5%, respectively).

Same-Sex Sexual Behavior
Sexual activity between women was relatively uncommon.

Fewer than 5% of women in most age groups reported having received oral sex in the past year from a female partner, with the exception of the 8.5% of women ages 20–24 who reported having performed oral sex on a woman in the past year. A total of 2.0% to 9.2% of those ages 16 to 49 years reported having given oral sex to another woman in the past year.

Other notable findings:

-While about 7 percent of adult women and 8 percent of men identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the proportion of individuals who have had same-gender sex at some point in their lives is higher. For example, 15 percent of the men aged 50-59 said they had received oral sex from another man at some point.
