University of Indiana sexual health researchers surveyed 5,865 adolescents and adults, ages 14 to 94, about their sex lives, favorite acts and condom use — one of the most comprehensive studies on the topic in almost two decades, according to a university press release. Needless to say, they learned lots of interesting things:

  • When having intercourse, condoms are used one out of four times. Singles use them one out of three times.
  • Casual partners use condoms twice as often as those in relationships.
  • Black and Hispanic Americans are more likely than whites and other racial groups to use condoms.
  • Adolescents are not quite as sex-crazed as everyone thinks: About 40 percent of 17-year-old males reported they had intercourse in the past year, but only 27 percent said they had done the deed in the past 90 days.
