Edward Laumann is one of the nation’s leading authorities on the sociology of sexuality. He recently advised a panel of scholars who conducted the “Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors.” The survey is based on in-person and telephone interviews with 27,500 men and women aged 40 to 80 years old in 30 countries worldwide, which were conducted during 2001. He also was a co-director of the 1992 National Health and Social Life Survey, the first comprehensive and scientifically accurate survey of sex in America. The study disputed many myths about sexual behavior and brought factual information to bear on public policy debates about sexual practices. Source - http://experts.uchicago.edu/experts.php?id=84
