Sex sequence survey in men study

This study looked at whether sexual activities vary across age among men who have sex with men (MSM).

We conducted a survey among men who have sex with men attending the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre in 2017. This survey asked about nine different sexual activities with their most recent regular and casual partner.

Our data showed that MSM engaged in a variety of sexual activities including, but not limited to, anal sex. Other activities such as penile-oral sex, touching penises and kissing were more commonly practised among MSM.

Age was not associated with most types of sexual activity with regular partners. The exceptions were mutual masturbation and receptive penile-anal sex. Younger men more likely to engage in these activities.
