Dunno, never tried one.

To be honest the results of this survey sound like bullsh1t. Approx. 1 in 6 people gay? I don't think so. You've always got to be sceptical about on-line surveys, as they very rarely produce an unbiased sample of the population.

Apart from that, the survey was conducted by condom manufacturer, Durex - in all likelihood you had a bunch of gays shopping around for their "truck tyre" condoms. There are simply too many unknown factors.

As for Kiwi sheep-sh@ggers, that's a whole other story...

I would never want to, either.

One walk down Oxford Street, I would believe the results.

While the self selected sample can not be called a "true" representative pop. sample, one in six sounds believable to me. most people may not be gay, gay, gay, but alot of people engage in homosexual behavior yet would never self identify as gay. There's alot of situational homos out there. Not to mention all the bi's.

Online surveys have a built in bias because they only capture the people who feel like responding instead of getting a true satistical distribution.

Still if that 17% is girl on girl action I won't be complaining.

I love people who think they're str8 just cuz they say they are...no matter how many times they've fingered people of the same sex. of course if bisexuality didnt have such a bad rep, more of them might be more inclined to self identify as such.

The survey quantifies those who "are involved in gay or lesbian relationships". Whilst there is no strict definition of a homosexual relationship here, I would suggest this does not include those who "dabble" in this area.

Not only this, but potential survey participants are actually filtered out prior to this stage. For example: What demographic is likely to own a computer connected to the Internet? Who is visiting the Durex site? etc

Kinsey found that 4% of males are exclusively homosexual for their entire lives, 8% are exclusively homosexual for at least 3 years during 16-55, 13% have more homo than hetero experience, 18% have as much homo as hetero experience, and 25% have had more than incidental homosexual experience for a period of 3 years or more, between 16-55.

This doesn't surprise me.

In 1994, Harvard found that 20.8% of men and 17.8% of women have admitted to same-sex attraction and behavior.

I have heard stats that say that the average number of homosexual partners for a straight person is over 1

(same set of stats that said that homosexuals averaged more partners than straights)

Ahem. The survey also found phone, text and cyber sex were gaining in popularity in Australia, with 43 per cent indulging in "virtual reality sex".

Dewey wins!

In short, the 'results' are trash.

Kinsey's methods were unsound. Captain Willard has been tasked with straightening things out down there.

A similar survey of Agathon's home country found that nearly 80% of men had been involved in a 'meaningful' relationship with New Zealand's majority mammalian inhabitant, the sheep. All those weepy ewes at Auckland International airport...

And before anyone repeats the tired old penal colony adage again... New South Wales was a penal colony, 'Australia' wasn't. Australia is made up of two territories, the A.C.T. and Northern Territory, and six states. Not all of these were penal colonies. Besides which, given that some of the Tolpuddle Martyrs were sent here for their political crimes, I'd have been glad to have been counted in their number.

That weould mean the average straight guy has had at least one homosexual encounter. I for one know that I've never been ****ed in the ass nor have I hever ****ed another man in the ass. In fact I'm proud to say I've never had anything even close to a homosexual act in my entire life.
