I appreciate your reply. I was referring to a new word for "straight" if people insist on bending the traditional definition to mean any of the preferences indicated by the words you offered. The original poster asked, "How Many Men Are Actually Bisexual." Data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates an objective answer: 4.4% of Americans identify as bisexual. Assuming men don't skew bisexually in a manner radically different from women, it's reasonable to assume approximately 4.4% of men identify as bisexual. That results seems to disappoint some who wish, or believe, the percentage is much higher and they assuage their disappointment by implying an inflated figure with expansive definitions, mere opinions or anecdotal claims substituted for data. We may wish our club had more (male) members but that's no reason to delude ourselves.
How many men are actually bisexual?
- Thread starter StrenghtenMe
- Start date
It also depends about which generation we are talking about; according to Gallup Study from 2021 20.8% of gen Z identify as LGBT and bisexuals are 15% of this while gay/lesbian are only 2.5%.
The number of all Americans that identify as Lgbt is 7.1% but its dramatically lowered by older generations; for example among Silent Generation (born 1928-1943) only 1.7% identified as LGBT....so are we going to assume every generation is going gayer or just ppl are going to view sexuality as a spectrum and not being pressured by homophobia?
Also 4.4% of men that id as bisexual is still a lot; it means in theory over 1 in 25 men you are going to meet is bisexual....
Still I would guess the number is higher like 1 in 10 or 1 in 7 but anyway.
OP, take note of additional data.
I'm not sure about "most", but it is 100% a lot more than would ever admit it. As I said before, a guy I've slept with says that he's straight but likes to be fucked by men. Which I think is a bit daft, but eh, if that's how he sees it that's up to him.
I'm not currently interested in dating women, but I'm still bisexual.
Wow....I can't imagine how a guy can consider himself straight if he's taken a dick in the ass. I could see guys claiming to be straight even if they've been blown by a guy...I know I did after my first blowjob.
Yea I still find women somewhat attractive, just no real desire to be with them.

Definitely not most. That's preposterous. This is an actual thing though. Basically a rare paraphilia where some straight men are attracted to only dick (but not men or anything else masculine). I think a good bit of straight men attracted to pre OP trans women could potentially fall under this umbrella too.
It isn't really that daft of you think of it from a purely pleasure point or view. Anal pleasure feels good for certain guys regardless of orientation. And straight guys have gspots too.
of course...but there's a pretty big difference between getting fingered by a woman while she blows you and getting a dick in the ass.

Different, sure. But still wouldn't change the orientation of the receiver. If a straight guy uses a dildo on himself or had a woman penetrate him with a strap on? Do you consider that gay in some regard?
To a certain extent yes. If it's a dildo shaped like a penis, I think the fantasy of having a penis in his ass is also exciting him. If all he wants is a bit of anal play, then a finger should do. I guess if he wanted something bigger than he would have no choice but to use a dildo.
Plus, an actual penis in his ass is more than just a penis. The top might cum inside him, grab his hips, or anywhere else on the bottom's body...that's more than just a thing up his ass.

The way I see it. I think these guys who enjoy anal play would probably be fine using any object large enough to elicit pleasure and it just so happens that a dildo is the most convenient.
I think this is why so many use dildos or strap on women. Precisely because they don't want to engage with a man.
If they got off only to dildos or actual penises and the shape/feel of that organ especially. I would move them over into paraphilia territory perhaps. Because that is considerably more specific. But still not into necessarily bisexual territory (unless they also found male bodies themselves attractive in addition to the penis)
You can bet all you want, but bets are just hopes and anecdotal experiences do not substitute for data. If one wants to bend the meaning of "straight" to mean something other than "straight" then find a new word to describe the vast number of men who want intimacy only with a woman and who do not overtly display, or secretly harbor, a desire for other men and do not impose on them an identity they do not recognize. We don't like it being done to us and we should not do it to them.
That's probably rarer than bisexuality, tbh

Oh for sure, a couple of those types are right here on LPSG. They typically get lumped in with us bisexuals but I find this to be incredibly short sighted. Most of these types are not truly bisexual, they legit are only attracted to cock or the idea of a penis and will often openly express disgust at the idea of interacting with any part of a man beyond his member.
It's an interesting paraphilia for sure and I would like to see these guys more openly represented and surveyed/studied to some degree even.
- bi2,
Ive enjoyed your posting on here and agree with you.
I dont find male bodies attractive and Ive never found myself checking guys out ever. If others do, thats great, everyone is different and to be respected.
However, I really enjoy anal sex with my fuckbuddy, we hookup to fuck about once a month and outside of sex there isnt any emotional connection or relationship whatsoever.
In many ways I see myself as "straight" but that doenst mean I dont enjoy bi sex. I love being fucked.
I bet your "fuckbuddy" doesn't care if you are bi or straight so forget the label and enjoy the experience.
- bi2,
Most definitely, its never a discussion or an issue raised by either of us. He has never cared about as an issue. Its rather irrelevant.
When we hookup its to engage in good, enjoyable and relaxing MM sex. My role to please him is being a totally submissive bottom to serve and satisfy his needs, which I love being that way with him.

Yes I remember you from another thread and enjoy your posts as well and your perspective is interesting. Honestly the labels and all that doesn't need to be so serious truly.
I would love if more people had no label at all but all that matters is your enjoyment while having sex with whoever you like. The word your call yourself doesn't truly matter in that moment.
- bi2,
Thank you for the kind words, really appreciate it.
I agree with your post, labels really do mean nothing for me and my fuckbuddy at least.
My fuckbuddy and I, have good, enjoyable MM sex, in that moment that we share, nothing else matters or is relevant. We dont get to do it frequently, like only once a month, so in many ways, thats what keeps up the thrill and excitement everytime we have the opportunity to fuck. Its so simple, easy and convenient, so naturally we always have a lot of fun. I enjoy being used as a fuckdoll by him, he enjoys treating me as one, we please each other everytime, so of course we will continue to enjoy the fun we have.
++ sexual behavior. Your sexual behavior may or may not align with the other two.
- bi2,
Great underated post.
Im very sexually attracted to my fuckbuddy, even though he may not be stereotypically handsome to some. He is in his late 60s, big hairy bear shaped man and I am slim petite much younger guy. But sexually he turns me on like a Xmas tree on Xmas eve night. Its why we enjoy the MM sex we have. In general I dont have any sexual attraction to men whatsoever. WIth women however, there are plenty that I sexually attracted too.
However, neither I nor him, have any romantic attraction to one another outside of sex.
