Americans are often portrayed as being bland sexual mopes, compared to say, the French. But according to a new study, we actually routinely choose from more spicy combinations than you can find on a Mexican take-out menu. The researchers who conducted the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior even came up with a number: 41.
We don’t necessarily indulge in all 41 possible combinations in every episode — who has the time? — but many of us, the survey says, do a bit of this and a fair amount of that, including stuff our mothers and our priests and a few politicians (yes, you, Ms. Christine O’Donnell) tell us we should never, ever do. In fact, the panel of researchers told a conference call with reporters, the number is no doubt higher than 41, but the survey did not ask, for example, about use of sex toys and porn.
The study, of 5,865 people between the ages of 14 and 94, focused on five sex acts: penile-vaginal intercourse, solo masturbation, partnered masturbation, oral sex and anal sex.
