Sex frequency, defined here as the number of oral or anal sex acts with the most
recent partner in the past year, is a potential driver of risk for sexually
transmitted infections. However, few data on sex frequency have been reported for
men who have sex with men (MSM). Data from an Internet survey of MSM were used to
describe sex frequency with most recent main and casual male partners and to
estimate factors associated with higher sex frequency. Among 5,193 MSM, higher
sex frequency was associated with younger age, shorter relationship duration, and
reporting a main (vs. casual) partner; and lower sex frequency with male partners
was associated with heterosexual or bisexual (vs. homosexual) identity or Black
race (vs. non-Hispanic White). Secondary analyses of estimates of sex frequency
from 2 publicly available nationally representative datasets comprised of
primarily heterosexual survey respondents (the 2008 General Social Survey and the
1992 National Health and Social Life Survey) were performed. Sex frequency among
MSM respondents was similar to that reported by heterosexuals.
