Report Out on US Sexual Behavior, Attraction & Identity
March 3, 2011
This just in from the U.S. Centers from Disease Control: The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics is issuing a new report, “Sexual Behavior, Sexual Attraction, and Sexual Identity in the United States: Data from the 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth.”
With the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, a great public health concern, part of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) is dedicated to providing timely, credible information to public health researchers for developing prevention strategies targeting high risk populations. The NSFG is based on approximately 13,500 interviews with men and women aged 15 to 44 (Read More).
Some of the findings in the study include:
- A higher percentage of young males and females reported never having any sexual contact with another person. In 2002, an estimated 22% of males and females aged 15-24 had never had any sexual contact with another person. In 2006-08, this percentage increased to 27% for males and 29% for females.
- More than half of young persons aged 15-24 who have had oral sex reportedly engaged in this behavior prior to ever having vaginal intercourse. White persons aged 15-24 (57%) were more likely than black or Hispanic persons of the same age (39%) to have had oral sex before intercourse.
- Women aged 15-44 years are more than twice as likely to have had a same-sex experience as men of the same age group. In 2006-08, approximately 12.5% of women reported a same-sex experience compared with 5.2% of men.
- Women who have had 4 or more male sexual partners in their lifetime are also more likely to have had a female sexual partner, compared with women who have had no male partners or women who have had only 1 male partner. Among men, the percentage who have engaged in same-sex behavior did not vary by the number of female partners.
- While the percentage of women and men aged 18-44 years who reported they were either heterosexual or homosexual was similar (94% of women and 96% of men said they were heterosexual or straight while 1.1% of women and 1.7% of men said they were homosexual or gay), the percentage of women who reported they were bisexual was more than 3 times as high as men (3.5% of women vs. 1.1% of men).

Female-friendly Porn? You bet!
February 21, 2011
What does women-friendly porn look like? No, it’s not guys doing housework, despite the jokes. It’s erotica that respects women, focuses on sexual pleasure and equity (meaning, it’s not all about the in-and-out of standard porn).
BeautifulAgony.Com — I was introduced to this site in a graduate school course — that’s what happens when you study human sexuality! The site features videos of indivuals on camera from the neck up, bringing themselves to orgasm alone or, in some cases, with a partner not shown on camera. I love the diversity of people and their expressions, which range from earnest and hardworking to joyful and transcendent. Everyone is beautifully uninhibited. Check it out solo or with a partner.
HotMoviesforHer.com — This pay-per-minute site features porn that has been professionally reviewed by feminist sexuality educators. It’s 8 cents a minute, but who cares, if it gets you off?
Directors to look for:
Dana Dane — Porn from a lesbian perspective. A real lesbian, not an actress pretending for a guy’s sake. Visit her work at Erocktavision.
Kelly Holland — This former Vivid Pictures staffer makes high quality films for her own company, Chick Media.
Shine Louise Houston — Featuring films from all perspectives on the female gender spectrum, Houston’s work may be too kinky for some; others will love the diversity of performers and action. Find her work here.
Petra Joy — Joy’s films focus on female fantasies. Her latest film, Feeling It, was release by Femme Productions.
Candida Royale — Creator of Femme Productions, Candida turned from acting in porn to creating it, in response to her growing interest in female-friendly porn. Too many films to list her, so visit the Femme Productions link about to see her catalog.
Anna Span – Lesbian sex, straight sex, bisexual sex and group sex. Sex with toys, food and other household items. Realistic actors and action with many shots taken from the woman’s perspective on male partners. Her films include Good Service, Hoxton Honey, Uniform Behaviour, Pound a Punnet and Toy With Me.
