I think this illustrates that straight couples answer questionnaires candidly, and gay couples don't.

When something flies in the face of reason and logic, it's usually propaganda.

Gay couples live lives based on maladaption, deep-seated contrariness and aggressive resentment, all of which are the conflicted results of childhood sexual abuse.

Precisely why it's so odd that Gottman, the strongest advocate ever in the field of marital research for field observation research instead of survey research, has chosen in this study to desert his tried and insightful methodology and reverted to something that he himself has always somewhat questioned.

Survey research on these kinds of issues gives results that are all over the map. In the area of sexual experience outside the marriage bond for women, there've been studies that have demonstrated everything from a low of about 20% to a high of about 75% and everything in between. It's insane.
