Those numbers are wild.

I did some digging in the source, and it seems that the surveys were for ~7k men. They threw out ~30% of respondants for failing to complete the survey and other reasons, including being female at birth?

Also, the survey considered a sexual relationship between a 17 yo and a 19 yo as an abusive relationship, which they claim is illegal, but to my knowledge is covered by Romeo amd Juliet exceptions.
