The Center of Disease Control (CDC) has released a new report and statistics about the ‘Sexual Habits of Americans‘.  The data was collected from 1999-2002.  Read more about the study here.
Here is a look at some of the highlights of the study:

• Of all race or ethnic groups, Mexican Americans had the highest percentage of persons never having sex at almost 12 percent.

• Sixteen percent of adults first had sex before the age of 15.

• Only 6 percent of non-Hispanic black persons abstained from sex until age 21 years and older compared with 17 percent for Mexican Americans and 15 percent for non-Hispanic white persons.

• The proportion of adults who first had sex before the age of 15 was highest for persons with less than a high school education

• The median number of lifetime female sexual partners for men was seven and the median number of lifetime male sexual partners for women was four.

Over 96% of Americans over the age of 20 have had sex according to the report’s findings.
