The study hopes to combat 'the almost exclusive focus' on HIV in most academic research on gay male sexual behavior, as well as to increase understanding of the 'diversity and complexity of these men’s sexual lives.' To do that, they asked gay and bisexual-identified men ages 18 to 87 to chart their most recent sexual experience. In the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers from Indiana University and George Mason University surveyed nearly 25,000 gay and bisexual men in an effort to better understand how they experience sex.
