    Ackshually, AFAIK around 5% of the population are homosexual. If that is completely ignored in the graph, the actual number would be closer to 22%. It could possibly be even lower if you consider bisexuals who just not had sex with women. And if you consider that homosexuality is much more accepted these days the numbers are skewed and the percentage could be even higher among younger people.

      Assuming homosexual people are all fucking, which seems unlikely - the loneliness epidemic is real (whether it’s the often-talked about male loneliness epidemic is another matter), and being homosexual further complicates it, especially for people who are looking for a relationship rather than one night stands.

        It doesn’t matter if they’re fucking, the graph is about female sex partners and it’s unclear if the numbers includes gay men. Alternatively the title of the graph would need to be changed.

      According to a quick google, men are overwhelmingly more likely to be gay than bi (as opposed to the other way around for women), so it wouldn’t change that much.

        i feel like thats skewed by porn, because women can do lesbian acts in porn but not be gay/lesbian, and alot of men see woman in lesbian situation as not gay, so women can often play it off better without being OUTED.
