Frequently asked questions at the Kinsey Institute

While its all interesting, many of the stats are older, and I hope like hell they've improved. Such as this one;

75% of men and 29% of women always have orgasms with their partner (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).

54% of men think about sex everyday or several times a day, 43% a few times per month or a few times per week, and 4% less than once a month (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).
19% of women think about sex everyday or several times a day, 67% a few times per month or a few times per week, and 14% less than once a month (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).

I don't think males are inherently more 'sexual' than females.

This is just sad;

Overuse, pornography, infidelity, and risky behaviors are among the most frequently treated Internet-related problems by mental health professionals. (Mitchell, 2005).

I can't think of that organization without remembering that they published data that was basically a rapist's reporting on his victims responses. And they protected his anonymity.

A lot of their data is old shit, essentially useless. Some of it is relevant. To bad they lost so much credibility
