    Straight women give oral sex an average of 5.14 times per month.

    I did a web search on that phrase, and found a number of sources which cite it as the average number of times the average American gives oral sex. But they all leave out the definition of average: Does this number represent the number of blowjobs given in a year, divided by the number of straight women, divided by 12? These are infographic-type sites that cite each other, and I don’t have time to chase down the original source of that number, but it seems unlikely.

    One of the pages that I found reported that 59% of women* give oral sex. So if 41% of women give 0 blowjobs in a month, those 59% have to pick up the slack. Then, subtract the proportion of women who would, but are not currently sexually active. That would leave a much smaller group giving a lot more oral sex, if that was the definition of average. (I guess the 28% of women who describe giving it as pleasurable are each doing it more than 20 times in a month?)

    Instead, I suspect that that number describes the number of times that sexually-active Americans who engage in oral sex give it in a month, which makes for a very different total number. (Or, if it really is # of blowjobs / # of straight women, I’m going to be very upset with whomever is getting my share.)

    * I learned from this research that 52% of straight men give oral sex. WTF, guys?

      From the people I know, the ones who enjoy it do end up giving oral 20+ times a month if they’re in relationships with partners who they live near enough to be giving it most nights.

      Wouldn’t surprise me, yeah

      52% of men

      Yeah, I mean only 59% of women do, that’s not that different? It’s not rounding errors levels, but still
