Is gay sex better than straight sex
ARTICLE
The health effects of same-sex sexual action are many. The universal, government, and judiciary are being lead to consider that same-sex sexuality is a normal variant with interactions and results similar to heterosexual sexuality. However, this position runs opposite to professional literature and the track record of history.
By any repeatable measure, the percentage of the population identifying as same-sex attracted, lesbian, bisexual, or transsexual (GLBT) is small. The United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that men having sex with men (MSM) comprise approximately two percent of the population, or four percent of the U.S male population.1 The University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center has conducted surveys regarding homosexuality since the sdelayed 1980s and deems that approximately two percent of the U.S. population identifies as either gay, queer woman, or bisexual.2 The 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth conducted by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics found that among women ages 18 to 44, 3.5 percent identified as bisexual with 1.4 percent identifying as homosexual, gay, or woman-loving woman. Among men of the same age
Why do some unbent men have sex with other men?
According to nationally-representative surveys in the Joined States, hundreds of thousands of straight-identified men have had sex with other men.
In the recent book Still Straight: Sexual Flexibility among White Men in Rural America released today, UBC sociologist Dr. Tony Silva argues that these men – many of whom appreciate hunting, fishing and shooting guns – are not closeted, bisexual or just experimenting.
After interviewing 60 of these men over three years, Dr. Silva launch that they like a range of relationships with other men, from hookups to sexual friendships to secretive loving partnerships, all while strongly identifying with straight culture.
We spoke with Dr. Silva about his book.
Why do straight-identified men have sex with other men?
The majority of the men I interviewed reported that they are primarily attracted to women, not men. Most of these men are also married to women and prefer to have sex with women. They explained that although they loved their wives, their marital sex lives were not as active as they wanted. Sex with men allowed them to contain more sex. They don’t consider sex with men cheating and s
For as long as I can remember I’ve been told, in one form or another, that heterosexuality is “natural” and homosexuality is, consequentially, NOT natural (read: a deformity or abnormality). This assertion comes wrapped in a plethora of unattractive forms. Perhaps you’ll remember it from one of its many cameos in your life:
In American Law:
Remember how we can’t serve openly in the military because if we do everyone will throw up in their mouths when it’s communal shower time?
In Television:
How anyone could rally so fanatically against the most beautiful TV moment in the history of TV is beyond me and the fact that this is still not perfectly ok is further proof of the universally acknowledged gross-out factor of gay touching.
In Bed:
“Does lesbian sex even reckon as real sex….wait, does that mean we just had sex?” – Ashley Wright
I could travel on but you get the idea: there are many inventive ways that the world tells us that we are unnatural freaks. This argument has gone on long enough. It has been on a destructive rampage for years – ruining the lives of many and justifying the violence of some.

Sexuality and inequality research
by Eliza Brown and Paula England | February 29, 2016
If you know which sexual orientation people determine with, how much does that reveal you about whether they have sex with women, men, or both? How similar or alternative are the links between identity and behavior for women and men? Building on our publish from last June, “Women’s sexual orientation and sexual behavior: How well complete they match?” we update the study of women to include more recent data and insert an analysis of data on men.
We’re using data from the 2002, 2006-2010, and 2011-2013 National Survey of Family Growth for men and women 15 to 44 years of age. Detailed tables, along with how we generated our measures, are in the Appendix at the end of this post. Here we focus on a few specific questions:
How common is it for heterosexual men and women to have sex with same-sex sexual partners?
Unsurprisingly, almost none of the men identifying as heterosexual have had only male sexual partners and only
