Reader SFG suggested that I examine the claim that smart people are more likely to have anal sex because they are kinkier. Education will have to serve as a proxy measure. Here are the results for married whites from the National Couples Survey data (N = 903):
Percent having anal sex in past four weeks
No degree 28.3*
GED 19.4*
High school 10.4
AA 9.9
BA 7.4
MA 6.9
PhD 4.9
* p < .05, two-tailed test, compared with BA.
Just the opposite. Anal is prolish behavior. Educated women don't go for that.

ReplyDelete@ woman:
ReplyDeleteThe difference between "no degree" and "PhD" for couples is too large (almost 6-fold) to explain solely
by women's preferences (possible in theory but very, very, very unlikely). Ergo, educated hetero men don't go anal either. The reasons may very well be very different though.
Just the facts m'am. = )
ReplyDeleteCan you show how often married whites had sex at all within the last 4 weeks according to education level?
ReplyDeleteHa-ha, I wanted to see BDSM, but they don't have a question for it!
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for answering my question anyway. Amusing actually...I don't know about anyone else, but I always had the superstition that the educated had kinkier sex...but data have proved me wrong!
I am very happy to read this article..thanks for giving us this useful information.
