What is the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS)? What are some of its key findings?
Answer:
The NHSLS surveyed 3,500 men and women between the ages of 18 and 59 throughout the United States. Some key findings from the study are that masturbation is relatively common in men and women, that virtually all men and women experienced vaginal intercourse at some point in their lives, that most men and women had engaged in oral sex, and that most sexual activity occurs in the context of monogamous relationships. Also of note, there is a very large difference between men and women with regard to the experience of orgasm, with more men than women reporting they always have an orgasm. Men are also more likely to report their partners also always had orgasms.
