Downing, the study’s lead researcher, had the same question.
But when one out of five self-identified straight men reports watching gay porn, it prompts the further question: Are these men really straight, or are they down-low/straight-identified bisexual men?ĭr. So what gives? It’s no giant leap to hypothesize why gay men might enjoy watching straight porn: to watch straight guys. Among them: that 55 percent of gay men watch straight porn, and 21 percent of straight men watch gay porn. A new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour, which examined the porn-viewing habits of 821 gay, straight, and bisexual men from around the country, found a number of unexpected results.
