William Saletan looks at the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior (which I mentioned on Tuesday), noting among other things that:

... Among women who had vaginal sex in their last encounter, the percentage who said they reached orgasm was 65. Among those who received oral sex, it was 81. But among those who had anal sex, it was 94. Anal sex outscored cunnilingus.

As Elf points out, Saletan is careful to not confuse correlation with causation, but Elf further notes that:

Saleton ruins his analysis with this line: "Women who were getting what they wanted were more likely to indulge their partners' wishes [for anal sex]." Anal is apparently something a woman doesn't like, but something she does in exchange for what she really wants. Saleton has clearly never dated woman who's also an anal power bottom.
