This study showed that 21% of self-identified straight men like to see sex involving two men. This is actually another take on the Pathela study in a way. If the number of straight men in the study exceeded 300 it is stunning actually. It’s entertainment, but there is virtually no Kieru: The n of the study is more than enough to make the study significant.Ģ1% is a HUGE percentage of straight men to be watching gay porn. We have no concept of whether the online survey is representative of a larger population or merely whoever they could get to take part.ĭrawing any conclusions at this point is like the Today Show parading “studies” to show you can drink as much wine as you want. The sample size is small, the sample size of straight men is even smaller. Even if we assume a majority (75%) that means only 615 of them were straight, and from that only 129 (21% of 615) admitted to consuming same-gendered erotic material. We don’t know the number of men identifying as straight in the 821-person study. – Which is made even less meaningful when you know this was via online survey. – That’s even less meaningful when it’s from 821 people in total, not just straight men. – “Large Percentage” really doesn’t seem applicable here it’s 21%. While it’s certainly an interesting area of study, this is another example of a hyped-up headline based on a scientific study.
