STDs are more common in men. However women contract them easier than men do. They have a 50% chance higher then men to contract a disease.
women have the most STD's.

In the United States the reporting of national surveillance data on Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) does not include all of the most common STDs.

Reporting for gonorrhea and syphilis began in 1941, but chlamydia has only been reported since 1984. The limited data that is reported for genital herpes is available from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). There is no data reporting for genital warts or non-specific urethritis (NSU). Data for these diseases are limited to estimates based on private physicians' office practices, which is provided by the National Disease and Therapeutic Index (NDTI).

Females are generally more likely to contract an STI.
That depends on the std, some men have more of an std then women. With herpes more women then men have it.
STDs are more common in females.
Yes.

Females have quite a high risk of contracting a disease due to the very soft tissue in the vagina.

In general, the skin around and inside is very thin.

Mens penis have a thicker layer of skin and is therefore better protected.
Well, no-one is more possible to get STD's. We (male and female) all have the same percentage of having STD's. But if I were to chose, I would actually pick guys. I would say guys have a better chance. Hope that helps!!
