        Anecdotally, I’m 54 and have never known a bi man. Yeah, there were deep in the closet last century, but still, I’ve known loads and loads of gay people. No idea how that works.

          Anecdotally I’ve spoken to at least four and significantly more gay and ace people who are likely to qualify as male for this survey. (Men and amab people questioning)

      Ackshually, AFAIK around 5% of the population are homosexual. If that is completely ignored in the graph, the actual number would be closer to 22%. It could possibly be even lower if you consider bisexuals who just not had sex with women. And if you consider that homosexuality is much more accepted these days the numbers are skewed and the percentage could be even higher among younger people.

        According to a quick google, men are overwhelmingly more likely to be gay than bi (as opposed to the other way around for women), so it wouldn’t change that much.

          i feel like thats skewed by porn, because women can do lesbian acts in porn but not be gay/lesbian, and alot of men see woman in lesbian situation as not gay, so women can often play it off better without being OUTED.
