A comparison of university student experience with various sexual outlets in 1974 and 1980.
This study compared 1974 and 1980 university student experience with various sexual outlets. Fifty single males and fifty single females in 1974 and 1980, randomly selected from all the single males and single females taking a sexuality course at University of Northern Iowa in those years, answered a questionnaire requiring yes or no responses to twenty-four questions on experience with various sexual outlets. Fewer students in 1980 than in 1974 had: 1) sexual experience with a person of their own sex as an adult, 2) group sex experience, and 3) sexual contact with an animal but more students in 1980 than in 1974 had stimulated a partner's genitals orally. Within each student group, more males than females had experienced 1) masturbation and 2) pre-marital intercourse with other than an intended marriage partner, while more females than males had experienced 1) anal intercourse as a passive partner and 2) being a victim of rape or attempted rape.
