Sadly, the really-terribly-written article doesn't actually have anything useful to say about the question in the title.

The title also begs the question!

Is sex fun? Most people might say "Yes", but not quite 100% of the population.

It's a leading question, not begging the question. Begging the question would be "sex is fun because of X, and X always happens because sex is fun"

I'm going to quote Woody Allen. The context is too delicious to pass.

"But isn't sex messy?" "Yes, but only when done right."

This would be an interesting survey.
