Statistics And Conclusions

http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/10/27/560268250/does-smoking-pot-lead-to-more-sex - this is an interesting article that seems to conclude that men and women have more sex when they use pot than when they don't. And women have more sex than men. See quote below:
Women who consumed marijuana daily had sex 7.1 times a month, on average; for men, it was 6.9 times. Women who didn't use marijuana at all had sex 6 times a month, on average, while men who didn't use marijuana had sex an average of 5.6 times a month. 
Do the stats above mean that there were fewer women than men but each having a little more sex than men? 7.1 against 6.9 and and 6 against 5.6? Or were bisexuals included? Assuming there are equal men and women,  wouldn't the number of times each gender had sex be equal. Initially I thought maybe women who had weed had sex also with men who didn't have weed while men who had weed had sex only with women who had weed. That would explain 7.1 and 6.9. In which case how is it that men who didn't have weed had lesser sex than women who didn't have weed? 

Another quote from the article.
In other words, it seems that people who like to smoke weed may have other character traits that lead them to be lustier. Or maybe it really is the weed. "It's possible it makes men or women more interested in sex," Eisenberg says. In one study, researchers found they were able to induce sexual behavior by injecting a cannabinoid, the class of psychoactive compounds in marijuana, into rats. But people aren't rats, of course.
