New York City sex therapist Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First, says you shouldn’t panic and assume your guy is gay. So what does it mean if you discover your guy likes watching man-on-man action? RELATED: 53 Percent of Women Have This Surprising Secret Fantasy in Common They were watching the same stuff gay men watched, including fisting, bondage, sadomasochism, cock and ball torture, and sounding (sticking things up your urethra). (Researchers also found that 55 percent of men who identified as gay said they watched heterosexual porn.) Straight guys weren't going for Brokeback Mountain-esque love scenes, either. RELATED: What Went Down When These 5 Women Shared Their Secret Sex Fantasiesīut here's something that might truly shock you: More than 20 percent of men who identified as straight admitted to watching gay porn. Most men viewed it on their computer or phone, but some also watched it on DVD or through an on-demand cable service. Also, here’s an interesting nugget: “Heterosexual men were more likely than gay men to report viewing sexually explicit media at work on a computer,” researchers reported. But all of the guys surveyed had viewed some form of porn in the past six months.
Scientists discovered that men who identified as gay and bisexual reported “significantly more frequent use” of internet porn compard to straight men. In a new study published in Archives of Sexual Behavior, researchers asked 821 straight, bisexual, and gay men to complete an online survey about how they consume sexually explicit media (read: porn). Now, it seems, the same may be true for guys.
Research has shown that sexuality is fluid for women: Just because you identify as a straight woman, it doesn’t mean you can’t be turned on by the idea of same-sex action.
