Interesting Poll...

[MikeW]

Just came across this online poll, begun in 2010, now with nearly 40,000 responses, comparing men's sexual orientation and their porn watching preferences (see attached screen shot). Perhaps not surprisingly, 25% of the respondents claim to be straight, preferring straight porn. However, what may be surprising is that, according to this (obviously unofficial) survey, 18% of the respondents claim to be both straight and prefer GAY porn. o.O Moreover 8% of the respondents identify as bi and prefer gay porn.

The survey and accompanying thread can be found at this link: http://jackinworld.com/whats-your-sexual...fer-if-any

ETA... I see now that sending this screen shot of the poll as an attachment is pretty useless as it gets shrunk to unreadable. Suffice it to say, if you take the poll you can see the results for yourself.

ETA 2: If my calculations are right, 59% of the respondents claim to be straight, 17% bi, 13% gay, 7% unsure and the remainder (4%) not stipulated.

Bi's like guys, so the gay porn watching by bisexuals isn't a surprise to me.
The straight guys watching gay porn, on the other hand..... a bit puzzling.

Maybe they only say they are straight or why else would they watch it. i would never read a book i do not like.

Aww cmon guys, you can totally get off to watching other guys screw and still be a straight arrow .

I think it says a lot about sexuality in general, not just about guys but rather like many have said all along, sexuality is a spectrum... secondly straight guys lie about it and often are coaxed into following "social norms"

My thinking on this has kind of evolved the last few years. Previously, I would have said any guy who looks at gay porn can't be straight. Now I just wonder if that is true.
Consider girls for a minute. They are so comfortable with each other, talking about very personal, intimate things, talking about their bodies, even being undressed around one another. The think nothing of going to the bathroom together. Men just have a hard time talking about things like feelings and often put up a front of complete self confidence. In the gyms they might secretly check one another out and wonder how they compare to another guy, so maybe, just maybe, watching gay porn allows for some sort of perspective they can't get otherwise. I mean, they get to see the size of another guys cock, both soft and erect. They get to see he ejaculates. He evaluates them and himself, which may not necessarily be a good thing, but he does it. Girls don't have to worry about things like that.
Some straight guys might just be curious about man to man sex, too. It might be the only way they would ever experiment.
Obviously, some of these guys are just in denial about who they are, too.

I just think sexuality is complicated and not always so easily defined. To our straight brothers who are beating off to gay porn, you're hot!!

And if you read the comments in the thread, there are several guys who say exactly that: This validates the idea of a spectrum.

I didn't read them all but I saw at least three who said they preferred "shemale" porn. That's what my (bent) straight "Muscle Boy" friend said he was into. He doesn't identify as bisexual at all but gets off on *the idea* of women with big tits and dicks. As one respondent said,

I'm straight, but I prefer gay porn. I think it's because I can guess what a guy is feeling, but have no idea what a woman would feel. So, in gay porn, I can relate to everyone in the video. It's great to know that i'm not alone in this though!
