Found these in a book (these are US statistics), some are really interesting.

I'll only write a few for now, I'll write more if people are actually interested in this.

"Only 15 percent of sexually active adults have been tested for HIV, says the National Center for Health Statistics."

"Two out of three middle class nineteen-year-old males confess to having gotten a date drunk to coerce her into having sex. Two out of five have used verbal intimidation, and almost one in five have used force or threats. Nearly 60 percent of female college students say that they have had intercourse against their will."

"12 percent of men surveyed say they would not tel a partner if they were HIV-positive."

"Eight percent of people admit to having sex with a cousin, and six percent confess to doing it with a sibling or half-sibling."

"One study reports that autoerotic asphyxia, or cutting off oxygen to the brain to achieve greater sexual satisfaction, claims the lives of 500–1,000 men in this country each year."

"Some men can experience retrograde ejaculation,or “dry orgasms,” when semen travels backwards intothe bladder instead of being expelled. The illness can becongenital, or caused by medications, diabetes, ordamage to nerves and muscles that control the opening ofthe bladder. It isn’t harmful, but it can cause male infertility."

"Human males, like rats, moths, and butterflies, give off a scent that has a physiological and psychological effect on the opposite sex.

"More than half of the women surveyed by Shere Hite in 1994 admitted faking orgasm, while fewer than half reported being brought to orgasm by a male partner through intercourse."

"On any given day, about 400 million people across the globe wil have sexual intercourse, which means that about 4,000 people are probably having sex right now."
