Several months ago I took part in an online survey by OUT magazine and Gay.net. It was a survey about sex, first I wanted to see what kind of questions they asked. Then I decided to respond with my views, I don't put too much stock in survey results because they often are skewed. Well they have released the results of that survey and I thought I would highlight some points I find interesting here.
I did not see any data about the average age of the respondants.
There were 13300 respondants
Who took it: 88% gay,
10% bisexual,
1% were questioning,
Of respondants 5 were straight, 4 were lesbian.
Relationship status, 59% are not currently in a relationship
55% are single (I wonder a breakdown by age group?)
25% have a parnter/husband (again age group)
12 % have a boy/ girl friend
7% are dating
Coming Out
31% between 18-22
13% 23-26
13% 30+
17% 13-17
17% still have not
Sexual role
52% are Versatile
28% Bottom
20% Top
Now the survey also covered questions about intimacy which I don't care to report. I don't recall questions concerning communication in relationships, or about safe sex. A question I wish they had asked, is about fidelity in relationships. I would like to see something about this, even though not sure I believe a lot of survey results. Anyway I thought this was interesting.
