Although surveys on sexual tastes or paraphilias are often done, in reality such surveys have limitations: the sincerity of the respondent.
Another thing is the big data that we can extract from the searches carried out by men and women on pornographic video platforms, such as PornHub. Through these searches we also have limitations, but there are advantages other than surveys: to scrutinize certain intimacy in greater depth.

Violence against women remains devastatingly pervasive and starts alarmingly young, according to new data from the WHO. However, the majority of rapes occur in the domestic sphere or by relatives or acquaintances, as is also the case with homicides.
Rape statistics do not tell the truth about the number of sexual assaults or rapes, but rather tell us about the difference in perception, attitudes and general awareness towards sex offenders. And, of course, that someone disapproves of sexual violence does not mean that, in their privacy, they can harbor morbid fantasies related to forced or humiliating sex .

Double that in the case of men. You can see more data from these searches and other similar studies in the following video:
