Sexual Behavior and Selected Health Measures
Sexual Behavior and Selected Health Measures, the report on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s study of Americans’ sexual activity was released on September 15th.
Among the findings of most interest to the GLBT community are that 6% of the males surveyed have had sex with another male; 5.7% having engaged in oral sex and 3.7% in anal sex. But the number drops by more than half, to 2.9%, when it comes to action within the last 12 months. Some 1.6% of men reported having sex only with other males over the last year.
Females were more likely to report ever having a same-sex experience ( 11% ) . That held true over the last 12 months ( 4.4% ) , but women were less likely than men to be exclusively same-sex oriented ( 1.3% ) .
