Table 13 lists all the places where respondents mentioned as having picked-up sex partners. Table 12 lists the top 3 places for various sub groups. The main place that the respondents pick up sex partners is online. This is followed by bars and private parties. But not all respondents pick up sex partners; 18 percent do not have any favorite places to pick up sex partners. Another 20 % only have 1 place and a further 11 % have 2 places to pick up sex partners. When this is broken out by subgroup, we find that there are several small groups that deviate. Fifty percent of straight men and all females do not have a top place to pick-up a sex partner. For the females, one quarter of those with a place chose online, church or social groups as their top pick-up places; thus there is no true first, second or third. This is the same for straight men as well. Transgender and bisexual men are most likely to have sex partner pickup places. In terms of age, the older age groups are less likely to have sex partner pick-up places, as are African Americans and multiracial groups. Table 13.
