I have read studies that suggest that only 10% of the population (or some low number like that) are truly 100% gay or straight. The rest of us fall on some long line that is 'bisexual' With a majority of those who identify as gay or straight actually being something like 90% straight/Gay to 10% the other way.
Meaning that they have the occasional opposite feelings (if gay, then straight) but do not act on it or just find it easier to think of themselves 100% straight or gay.
I fall in that category. I have had actually interest in two women in 46 years, interest not only sexually but also the 'daydream' of marriage, kids, suburban house, picket fence. I never acted on those stray impulses. The rest of the women I have known in my life (hundreds, millions I have met) I haven't had those impulses. Thus I identify as 100% gay when there may be a technicality there that means I'm actually bi-sexual.
Historically there is a strong case for bisexuality especially in males being the 'norm' Especially when we look at the Greeks and Romans who were not all tied up with strict taboo codes that strictly forbid homosexual activity.
Understand that when it came to these ancient peoples they did have some taboos regarding what kind of sex was perform. Anal sex was a taboo since it implied a loss of manhood. Oral sex and mutual masturbation was allowable.
And it wasn't just about sex either. Many men had wives at home and had romantic relationships with men or their slaves while on the road. It was very common for Roman warriors to have a male servant who serviced not only their armor and served their meals, but also satisfied other appetites. It was considered better than turning to prostitution or 'invading' the local women.
More often than not those relationships became as close as wife/husband or even more so since its two guys on the road...
Other cultures used man on man sex as a way to punish. If your people lost in a battle/war it was highly probable that the male warriors who 'lost' the battle also were emasculated with anal rape. Again the whole 'taking' of the manhood plays into this.
Male Prostitution was also very common. Leviticus is often thrown out there to demonstrate that God has issues with gays. However when we put that back into context especially if you read it in the Hebrew we find that the issue is not 'men lying down with men like with women' but is the practice of men lying down with other men as a form of sex-ritual to worship in this case the God Molech (A false deity and God has issues with worshiping other Gods).
Temple prostitution of both males and females who 'sold' their services for these sexual-rituals was very common. If it was just gay guys doing it, there wouldn't be that much participation, it was in fact many 'straight' men who 'worshiped' in this manner.
The Story of Sodom is another example of straight men having sex. In this case two visitors came to Sodom and were visiting Lot. The men of the town came to Lot's house saying 'We want to know your visitors'. This was not gay men wanting to date and enter into a relationship, this was a group of straight men who wanted to gang-rape the strangers, emasculating them.
Again the issue is using sex to emasculate or take men's manhood from them, something that was considered a huge deal way back then.
If straight men were 100% straight, they wouldn't be able to do these things.
