I assume he was/is bi. Wondering how common this is amongst “straight” men.
Seems I read around 10% have fantasized about it in most surveys, and around 5% experimented. Around 1-2% genuinely gay.
Variety of surveys through time put the number of gay men around 5%, though of course probably higher in large cities. If you are asking about how many men have fantasized? 1 in 5 or 20%. How many men have gone through and explored? 15% seems a reasonable estimate.
How do I know? I am a bisexual man who is more into guys and the stereotypical "you would never guess" person. There are way more married down low guys than most would think.
