This representative survey of sexual behaviour in the general
population of America offers basic information about topics such as
the transmission of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases,
unwanted pregnancies, child abuse, sexual harassment and sexual
violence. Conducted by a research team centred at the University of
Chicago, the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) was
designed to determine not only incidence and prevalence of sexual
practices, but also the social and psychological contexts in which
they occur. Based on personal interviews with a probability sample
of 3432 American women and men between the ages of 18 and 59, this
study explores the extent to which sexual conduct and general
attitudes toward sexuality are influenced by gender, age, marital
status and other demographic characteristics. Some of the questions
the researchers address include: how do social factors such as
education, race, and religion affect sexual conduct?; how have
American sexual patterns been changing?; how do women's and men's
sexual lives and attitudes differ?; and how is sexual behaviour
organized across the life course? Other topics covered by the
survey include early sexual experiences, masturbation,
contraception and fertility, sexual abuse, coercion, sexual health,
satisfaction and sexual dysfunction. A wide variety of sexual
practices and preferences are also explored in the questionnaire,
including specific questions on homosexual desire, identity, and
behaviour, the appeal of various sexual practices, and their
frequency and incorporation into sexual lives. With many charts,
graphs and tables, and a copy of the complete survey questionnaire,
this work is intended to be of use as a reference for scientists,
analysts and researchers seeking reliable information on the sexual
practices of American adults.
