    I’m straight, 100%. I know because I’ve been very close to trying, and figured out I was too straight to go through with it. If you had asked me when I was 18-24, I would probably not be so sure. Being “bicurious” around that age seems to be quite common, but is probably (my speculation) not closely linked to the proportion of people who are actually not straight.

      Well I was bicurious around that age and am now bisexual, so my anecdote nullifies yours

        Well I’ll bring the average to 66% but I’m not going to say which direction to mess up the math.

          Just to further confuse the math, I was 100% sure I was straight at that age, but turns out I am aroace.

            I thought I was ace at that age but it turns out it was just birth control messing with hormones. I’m sure I’m straight now.

      Somebody who is sexually attracted to the same sex but doesn’t to through with it is not 100% straight.

      It’s at least 15% gay.

      I had something similar and was mildly crestfallen when it turned out that dating a dude feels extremely similar to dating women. I thought it would be like… orange-flavored? Or at least spicier? Religions hyped it up for so long, I thought there’d be some sort of difference. Kinda just feels like dating a best friend, regardless of gender. :)

      I still find women attractive, but I’ll be damned if this relationship with my bf isn’t the best one I’ve ever had.
