Based on empirical experience, I have always suspected that is actually way higher than that. Most of my sexual partners over the years identify themselves as straight, and pretty much all of my gay friends have multiple stories with allegedly straight people. That is why I tend to believe anonymous polls more.

Pansexual.
I've been bisexual for almost ten years. Recently, I figured pansexual was more accurate.

I watched Magic Mike about 3 times on repeat and didn't get hard once. So straight.

Even though I barely post anything I read you every day.

Gay here, it's been almost 10 years since I came out!

Thanks. Yeah with me it’s that I’m not that much of a people’s person to begin with, I don’t really like parties for example. I like it calm, and when I go out to do things I’d like to do things alone. Which limits the amount of people I meet in general. I am also extremely picky when it comes to choosing people I actually want to keep being around and even pickier about actually liking a girl.

I don’t really like someone in that way very often. I can talk with any random person just fine, a friend, someone on the street, except it gets clumsy when I actually like someone. And getting clumsy about something that’s rare from the start doesn’t really help.

Temporarily not interested. I tend to fluctuate between straight and asexual. I'm going through an asexual period for the time being.

Its quite simple. Its because people(in general) associate sex with affection, and that kind of affection with "true" love, and often forget that true love comes in more ways than one.Humanity culture is at "fault" here though for having this association, not the individual persons. That's also why people are extra insistent on what gender they like, or what gender they are, because since they think sex is vital to loving someone, their gender in this case is directly linked to love/being loved.(This is my opinion guys)

That's why you see stupid phrases (in my opinion) like "Oh, he/she is "just" a friend", as if the only way to built a true connection, for most people, is if you have sex/ sexually attractive with/to him/her. If you don't have that urge, then he/she is "just" a friend, and it's often not regarded as someone worth sacrificing for (something meaningful in your life, as you often see people in films sacrifice for their boyfriends/girlfriends/wife/husbands etc.)

As it is obvious, this is just my opinion, but it's something based on things I have seen in my life and how people around me usually treat this subject.
