ABSTRACT

The word “sex” may mean different things to different people. Some people think of it only as penile-vaginal intercourse, while people also include anal intercourse and oral sex. Due to these varying definitions, it’s not always easy to get an accurate picture of what behaviors people are engaging in when you simply ask about “sex.” Starting in 2009, researchers at Indiana University began one of the largest national surveys of sexual behaviors. Sexually, pelvic floor exercises can also be used to help men who have erectile dysfunction. A small pilot study involving ten men found that pelvic floor exercises in Indian men, along with lifestyle changes, led to a decrease in erectile dysfunction and an increase in sexual quality of life. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are transmitted through sexual activity, including oral, anal, and vaginal intercourse. STIs may be caused by many things, including viruses, bacteria, fungus, and protozoa.
