What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Some men love anal sex more than vaginal sex. Why?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

How effective will the Senate-passed bill, S. 4569, the Take It Down Act, which would criminalize the publication of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) be?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
