Even if the 60% number is hard to verify, there's no doubt that the medcial community has established that there is a definite link between this kind of activity and the rise of anal and colorectal cancers being seen in America. A quick Google search brings up an abundance or articles on it, such as this one:
Anal Cancer On The Increase
...Other risk factors associated with increased anal-cancer risk included gay or bisexual orientation among men, a high number of lifetime sexual partners and a history of receptive anal sex. The study also suggested that the overall increase in anal cancer rates might be partially attributable to an increase in the average number of lifetime sexual partners and an increase in the number of people engaging in anal sex, particularly among women.
