10% of Straight Men Report Having Gay Sex Within The Past Year
Well, if you haven’t already heard about this, you might be living under a rock, but I decided to post it anyway. And here’s the reason why – I know all about that ten percent, guys that say they are straight but are just so easy to seduce and just keep coming back for more… yum yum.
“Sept. 20, 2006 — Nearly 10 percent of men who told public health pollsters they were straight also told them they’d had sex with a man in the previous 12 months, according to a study conducted in New York City.
While significant questions remain about how reliable these figures are, experts in gay men’s medicine say it’s a real phenomenon among all ethnic groups and one that should be publicized more.
“It’s found among all groups, certainly including white males,” said Dr. Stephen Goldstone, whose practice at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital treats mostly gay men.
Recent reports, including a segment on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” have publicized the practice known among African American men as “the down low,” in which men “love their wives but have sex with men” — and don’t identify themselves as homosexual.
The new study, based on a 2003 phone survey of 10,000 residents by New York’s public health department, found that 38 percent of the men (who said they were straight but had had sex with a man in the previous year) were white, 29 percent were Hispanic, 23 percent black and 10 percent Asian, multiple race or other. “
