Quote:There's no delicate way to put this, so I'll just quote the survey report: "For males, the proportion who have had anal sex with a female increases from 4.6 percent at age 15 to 34 percent at ages 22-24; for females, the proportion who have had anal sex with a male increases from 2.4 percent at age 15 to 32 percent at age 22-24."
I'm sorry, but this statement confuses the hell out of me. I hope I'm not admitting that I don't know something that you'd think most adults my age would know, but I don't understand how the proportion of males who've had anal sex with a female could be different than the proportion of females who've had anal sex with males. Does anyone else have any problems assigning logic and arriving at differing percentages.
Unless I'm just really missing something obvious....which is always possible.
Also: I have some questions. Is the rate of throat cancer higher in homosexual populations, specifically lesbians, as to put it delicately, their sexual repertoire probably involves more oral diversions-taking the position in their menu of the entree as opposed to an appetizer or dessert- if you get my drift- than heterosexuals, or even gay males.
Is the throat cancer a danger to the giver to the female and/or the giver to the male in equal proportions- or is it, as I would theorize logically, men who are coming down with these health issues moreso than women?
I read the article- but I couldn't glean those facts- and purely in my role as the mother of both a female and a male teen-ager- I feel it's important for me to get the facts.
