    I bet gay men are much more eager than straight women on average, but straight women outnumber gay men by like 20:1.

      I know the title explicitly says gay men, but then talks about Gay women and straight men as if the two sexualities are all that exist.

      I’m sure the number, if you include bi, bi curious, pan etc. Is much higher than 5%.

      I’m a mostly straight man (let’s say 2/3rds) and I’ve given more blowies than an ex female I was with for over a decade.

        Depends on which statistik you look at and for which countries. To arrive at 20:1, I calculated with 5% of people being “mostly homosexual”, which means that about 2.5% of the population is “mostly homosexual” men and about 45% is “mostly heterosexual” women. Admittedly, this is likely on the high side for homosexuality, but there is a lot of variation in statistics on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation.

        Either way, I picked a high number für homosexuality because even if we assume that there are a lot of gay men, the ratio is still extremely high - it’s rather unlikely that the average gay man sucks dick 20 times more often than the average straight women.

          Canadian Health Survey self-reported gay as 1% in 2003 to 1.7% in 2014. Bisexuality was 0.7% in 2003 and had doubled by 2014.
