    That’s interesting! I am curious to know what the scale was (what does it mean being fully straight?), if someone find the report and shares the link, that would be great. I looked for it but I could only find summaries.

    Was this information collected also in previous surveys? Is there a trend we can observe?

      Survey done by Durex. Durex was also that news site “ally of the year”. Interesting. Usually whenever I think of polls I feel like people who aren’t directly interested in the topic don’t take the poll.

      Like if you said there was a polls about video games, I might take it. But a poll about guns id probably pass on.

      But I welcome a more open culture, so would be neat if true.

        Yeah but I could only find past issues of the Global Sex Survey. I am specifically interested in the scale used for questions (and their results).

        Maybe it will take some time for the report to be published though

          The scale is likely the Kinsey scale. A 0-6 scale of sexuality. Zero is completely straight and six is completely gay.

          Most people find themselves somewhere in the middle, even if they don’t admit it.

          I’m somewhere in the range of 1–1.5

          I’m firmly attracted to the opposite gender, but might make an exception if the person had a personality that was super compatible with my own. But it’s not something I’m going to seek out.
