I think it’s funny that, in the first graph, the biggest discrepancy is with anal sex. Of course, men have had more anal sex with women than women have had with men…
I wonder if those numbers include the possible anal sex given by women to men with a strap-on.

It just means that a small set of men are going around having anal sex with a bigger pool of women!
How do you KNOW that the numbers are to be the other way around?

Anyone who believes this sort of survey is a prime candidate for a Nigerian currency deal. Sex is the subject people lie the most about!

not impressed, sorry.
Its poorly put together and tells us nothing except that some people were asked some subjective questions and plotted out the data in a very inefficient and aesthetically deplorable visualization.
Maybe with a little work, this could prove to be interesting, if nothing else, however it needs a major overhaul.
