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

I'd say 10 in every 10 males is 30% gay.  Everyone has curiosities.  It's scientifically proven that men get aroused not so much by gender but by touch/affection regardless of gender (sexual preference is a whole other thing).  Young boys no longer experience stigmas or prejudices related to being gay like 20 years ago, so they're freer to do whatever.  And in society's effort to unnaturally level the battle of the sexes, Western news media constantly elevates the female gender while diminishing males.  Children's programming is all about girl power.  Young boys don't have the same swag or overt heterosexuality they did 20 years ago.  In human nature, controlling women do not compel hardons.  And hardons make the world spin.

Most all of my encounters have been with self described "straight" men.  The number with a description of "Gay" have been very few.  I just counted and it's only 3.

Honestly, I don't care how they describe themselves as long as their sane.

I live in South America now and I have noticed over the last 15 years that guys are more open ,albeit on the DL, to having gay sex but still have the girlfriend or wife.
Also I have noticed that the younger generation doesn't put labels on everything, 'it is what it is' kind of attitude.

10% is quite low…

Actually, as someone mentioned above, the present-day estimates are around 2% are gay.  This would be my the Kinsey Rating a 6, completely homosexual – or to be more exact within the United States:

"Based on the 2013 NHIS data [collected in 2013 from 34,557 adults aged 18 and over], 96.6% of adults identified as straight, 1.6% identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7% identified as bisexual. The remaining 1.1% of adults identified as “something else” [0.2%,] stated “I don’t know the answer” [0.4%] or refused to provide an answer [0.6%]."

There is, however, something that isn't often mentioned with bisexuals and that is which way they "lean".  Most seem to have a preference of men or women.

This is important depending what type of relationship you do want with a bisexual.  Those bis who lean toward woman can enjoy physical sex with a man, but as far as intimate emotional relationships (love), those are solely with women.  The reverse is true with bis who lean toward men, with them being able to enjoy physical sex with both men and women, but there intimate emotional relationships are with men.

There to seem to be some bis who are right down the middle and can form both physical and intimate personal relationships with men and women, but they seem really rare.

I've read a lot about this (I read a lot about everything for many decades) and am constantly asking people questions about themselves to learn more.

Of course, this IS in the United States.  It might be the same or more or less in other parts of the world, but if you accept the idea that being gay is likely or mostly genetic, it is likely the percentages would be very similar elsewhere on our planet.

It sure does make it difficult to find a date way, way too often.    :cry2:

5 to 10% is fitting for our societies.

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:

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. 

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

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