AGE OF FIRST SEX & NUMBER OF PARTNERS
Below, I report the age of first sexual intercourse with a male and first sex with a female and total number of sex partners
Heterosexuals engaged in intercourse at an older age and had fewer male sex partners than women who identified as bisexual/queer/questioning.
No differences were found between the bi/queer/questioning group and lesbians for age of first sex with a female or number of female sex partners.

Interesting....Although I was surprised by the results of a couple of the questions regarding women's sexual pleasure specifically. I actually have some VERY humorous, candid, and honest results from a survey I once conducted myself about women in my age range (25 to 35). It's amazing what truths women will tell another woman, and yet they won't tell their partner. (Sigh) How much more simple it would be just to tell the truth to the partner, and what a better sex life we would all have!
