Interesting, I don't know anything about that researcher in particular was just an example from a brief google search, but I do believe that someone can have fantasies about whatever kind of male on male sex and not necessarily be gay or bi.What I meant by 'this thread again' is that this topic has been written about before here on bluelight.
That academic researcher is extremely biphobic/homophobic and she had lots of flaws in her research such as only going by Craigslist personal ads and hook up sites for bisexual and gay men where it is well known that if a bisexual or gay man pretends to be heterosexual he will attract men who want to have sex with him, as there are lots of gay men who need this fantasy pipe dream or have it.
But how would you know how many there were if they were closeted lol? That's kinda the whole point. We aren't all flamboyant, effeminate men who are obviously not straight. The general public may not have been aware of them but only because they were afraid of how people would treat them if they were honest about who they were but I still think they were there.Apart from that, seriously lots of ppl from the younger generation are gay. It didn't use to be like that 10 years ago. Even closet gays, there wasn't that many of em.
Know one knew I was bi when I was at high school because back then coming out as gay, bi etc would mean social rejection and bullying en masse.
So I learned to hide it from everyone and even denied it to myself to the point where even I believed I was straight. This was made even easier due to the fact that I'm also attracted to women and I don't fit any of the stereotypes around being gay
