30 percent of males are gay? is it true?

Illabey

i heard that 3 in every 10 males are gay … and its rising in numbers. is the world turning gay?

I think that more and more men are being honest about being gay, but I don't think it's anywhere close to 30%.

I'd say that over 30% have had sex with another man at least once.

Bullshit, it's difficult to say that, while even guys who are probably gay and never tried anything with a guy.

Last one I heard was 10%, 1 of 10 guys is gay. But I don't think that number increase so significant in past 10-15 years. I think the number is stable, but I believe that numbers of 'open' gays increase significantly. This coming out phenomenon make the number of gays looks bigger than the past.

Where are they?
The majority of the male population seem to be addicted to vaginas. :afr2:

Its only 10%, if it was 30% it wouldn't be so hard to find someone to do stuff with you

I think it depends on what you consider the "cutoff point" to be on the Kinsey scale. Also, I think men feel more comfortable exploring their sexuality than they did a few years ago, at least in the US. :closet:

Agreed!

I think it's a bit over the top, but there's a lot of closeted gays that's for sure

It depends on where you are. Big cities tend to atract gay people… at the same time gay people tend to be out more easily in big cities. I've read that within the general population there's an average of 10% of LGBTQ people, whereas in bigger citites that proportion can be as high as 1 in every 5 people.

Rural areas tend to be a hard place for gay people.

I think it shoud be, but many of them are closeted

My take on this is… like kinsey studied most have a non fix sexuality, so i'd say the major part do is bi... due to repression etc most feel straight, with the occasional "experience" i'd say that the percentile of exclusive fix gay people being 10% is average... now if you ask the percentile for homossexualy atracted then I'd go all the way up to 30- 40 % because you need to include bi and pan and the Spectre of possible trans... I find amusing that people mostly act like bis are a minority in a minority when most likely they are the norm. #everyonelies :freehug:

I don't think the figure is that high. It's probably closer to up to 10% (but probably not more).

Kinsey Scale…. I agree with the idea that every male has a varying degree of "homosexuality" and "heterosexuality" (can include: actual homosexual encounters, erotic butt slapping, ect.).

To address the thread....I learned it was closer to 7% from recorded statistics.....but then again, no statistic is completely accurate. Some guys could have lied, some gay guys may have been looked over, some may not be comfortable revealing to everyone about their sexuality (therefore telling everyone they're "strait").....but 30% sounds really high to me. $:-\$

Louism

It could be biological fact, though. But when the heterosexualism comes into account, the percentage is much smaller. Some are closeted. Some enjoy being bisexual. Some are raised to be straight without even doubt their sexuality.

I think that in an open society many people (more open than all our different societies) might be more open to bisexuality but I would not call that gay.

5 to 10% is fitting for our societies.

tuckstee

I've always heard around 10%. But if you were to count people that have had gay experiences without identifying as being gay I think you could easily get to 30% or higher.
