I’ve read that something like 10% of straight women have had homosexual experiences, and I thought that it seems a bit high. Not sure what the numbers on straight males is. So, I would like to conduct an informal poll here on the SDMB 1. Have you had a homosexual experience? 2. What is your gender? And, to be all-inclusive 3) Are you gay or straight? (If gay, please answer (1) about heterosexual experiences you’ve had) I’ll go first: 1. No 2. Male 3. Straight. ---
