Straight women give oral sex an average of 5.14 times per month.
I did a web search on that phrase, and found a number of sources which cite it as the average number of times the average American gives oral sex. But they all leave out the definition of average: Does this number represent the number of blowjobs given in a year, divided by the number of straight women, divided by 12? These are infographic-type sites that cite each other, and I don’t have time to chase down the original source of that number, but it seems unlikely.
One of the pages that I found reported that 59% of women* give oral sex. So if 41% of women give 0 blowjobs in a month, those 59% have to pick up the slack. Then, subtract the proportion of women who would, but are not currently sexually active. That would leave a much smaller group giving a lot more oral sex, if that was the definition of average. (I guess the 28% of women who describe giving it as pleasurable are each doing it more than 20 times in a month?)
Instead, I suspect that that number describes the number of times that sexually-active Americans who engage in oral sex give it in a month, which makes for a very different total number. (Or, if it really is # of blowjobs / # of straight women, I’m going to be very upset with whomever is getting my share.)
* I learned from this research that 52% of straight men give oral sex. WTF, guys?

From the people I know, the ones who enjoy it do end up giving oral 20+ times a month if they’re in relationships with partners who they live near enough to be giving it most nights.

Wouldn’t surprise me, yeah
52% of men
Yeah, I mean only 59% of women do, that’s not that different? It’s not rounding errors levels, but still
Just teasing my fellow straight men! Yes, 52% and 59% are pretty close, and men tend to enjoy receiving slightly more than women do, which could easily affect the numbers like that.
Fair xD I’m wondering how much of that is a true preference for not receiving (I know one person who just. Does not, because it tickles?) and how much of that is the stereotype of straight men being bad at it, though. Could be worth putting that to a poll
