a few charts pertaining to public sex

Nothing terribly shocking or surprising here, guys, but I thought I'd share with you a few graphics that I have put together, showing some of the results pertaining to public sex (related to but not synonymous with the anonymous sex question/issue we've been discussing recently). 

In this first figure, you can see the relationship between how much guys say they like having sex in public places and how many of them actually reported engaging in that practice.  As you can see here, men who said that, on a 0 to 10 scale, they like having sex in public very little (rating = 0, 1, or 2), about 12% actually reported recently having engaged in sex in public.  Among men who said that they really enjoy doing this (rating = 8, 9, or 10), about two-thirds said that they had recently engaged in public sex.

Here is another one, somewhat more interesting and more important from a scientific and intervention standpoint.  Here, I am showing the relationship between the number of times that guys reported recently had sex in public and whether or not they reported any use of illegal drugs during the past month.  Basically, as the number of times having sex in public goes up, so too does the likelihood of being a drug user.

I'll continue to share information and findings, preliminary and not-so-preliminary, as time permits.  Hope you find these latest "ditties" at least somewhat interesting.
