Maybe it's not so surprising that black men report more sexual problems than white men, or that more education means more satisfying sex. Both overall health and regular exercise correlate with better sex. But both of these things also correlate with your socioeconomic level.
Black Americans tend to have lower socioeconomic status than white ones. People who spend a long time in school tend to have a higher socioeconomic level than those who don't. And we can argue all day long about causation, maybe it would be more surprising *not* to see a correlation.

I would like to see the correlation factors between men who have had same-sex sexual experiences and have a lack of interest in sex and are actively religious and those who have had same-sex experiences and have a lack of interest in sex and are not actively religious.

How about this? Could that stat reflect that they simply couldn't find the same pleasure with the woman in their lives after having had it with a man but they aren't willing to give up the "straight" life because of the peer pressure of our disgustingly tainted religious culture?

College diplomas easily add more confidence to men who have them as oposed to guys who did not finish high school. Ditto the liklihood of a relaxed long term partner. It ain't just that college graduates somehow have more time (for sex).
There is nothing about "bi-curious" for a man living straight that is going to enhance sex with a female. Adolescent stuff that just happened sort of accidentally can be overcome. A deliberate gay dabble in later life? Not so much.
Although I hope to "function" to the last week of life, I sometimes wonder if God or nature intended us guys to keep using it or someday lose it. I hope and plan to skip Viagra (though maybe not ginseng.)
