Another fact though: all women are just more susceptible to STI/STD/UTI in general due to the shape of vagina and the thin vaginal walls (and the fact that the vagina is internal but the dick is external, so they get sick easier from sex due to it being closer to their vital organs). during sex the germs/bacteria of a dick violates the microbiome of the vagina. It's common biology, you missed the mark on this one. But I do see where you're coming from.
like take HIV for example. gay bottom men and women are most susceptible to catching HIV, but not straight men (gay bottom men because anal sex draws blood, and foids cuz friction from dick creates microtears in the vagina, hence why they get sore after sex n all) so the the likelihood of them getting STI/STD is just more probable.
nope you're completely wrong in fact bottoms only have 10 percent more chance in contracting hiv as to tops in gays
UTIs primarily occur when bowel bacteria (like
E. coli) enter the urethra, not from penile bacteria "violating" vaginal flora.
Herpes and HPV transmit equally to all genders.
HIV transmission risk per act: 0.08% (female-to-male) vs 0.04% (male-to-female).
also here's the reason for the conclusion from the researchers of the study
Relevant quotes:
"One of our most important findings is the surprisingly
high occurrence of STDs among young women compared with that among young men—
13% vs.
4%. Even after we controlled for other background variables,
Asian and Pacific Islander females had odds four times as great as their male counterparts of having had an STD."
"What explains the gender disparity in STDs among Asian and Pacific Islander young adults? The most compelling explanation may be that
Asian and Pacific Islander women have broader and more racially diverse sexual networks than men. Studies consistently show that
Asian and Pacific Islander women have higher rates of interracial dating and interracial marriage than their male counterparts.[
46–48] Among married Asians,
27% of women, but
only 14% of men, were married to partners who were not of their own race.[
49] Jacobs and Labov, using data from the 1990 census, found that
Filipino women were three times as likely as Filipino men to marry a white partner.[
46] This pattern of greater interracial relationships among women than among men was
consistent among
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian Americans.[
46] Data from the 2000 census show that
Asian and Pacific Islander women were three times as likely as Asian and Pacific Islander men to marry white partners, and six times as likely to marry black partners.[
50] Thus, interracial contact through Asian and Pacific Islander women’s broader sexual networks might expose them to higher rates of STDs."
