Depends on which statistik you look at and for which countries. To arrive at 20:1, I calculated with 5% of people being “mostly homosexual”, which means that about 2.5% of the population is “mostly homosexual” men and about 45% is “mostly heterosexual” women. Admittedly, this is likely on the high side for homosexuality, but there is a lot of variation in statistics on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation.
Either way, I picked a high number für homosexuality because even if we assume that there are a lot of gay men, the ratio is still extremely high - it’s rather unlikely that the average gay man sucks dick 20 times more often than the average straight women.
I think the largest reason for lower reports is social pressure and the flexibility applied when being unhappy with your own orientation due to that pressure “I am not gay. I just like to experiment!” I believe that this partly causes the relatively large amount of “not completely straight” people in more precise studies.
Anyway, this is a lot of guess work. Mainly I had this presumption, because a gay man I know stated “I can ask 10 men on the street and one will join me” and given that it sounded like he tried it a few times, I do believe him. So my starting position is highly anecdotal and not very scientific.
I’d assume that there’s a lot of theoretically homosexual men who are in denial or very deeply closeted. I doubt these men have a large amount of man-on-man sex.
It’s an anonymous mailing survey, or at least it was. It’s hard to believe there’s any social stigma affecting it, and Canada isn’t known for having much pressure on gay people these days, at least in the more secular groups.
Idk, its anecdotal but I was in an auditorium in the local university area last night for a Valentine’s day improv performance and I was looking around at the couples, and it was at least 95% man-woman. If there was any place I’d expect to see gay couples, that was it, but I’m not seeing what the alt-right twats are crying about.
more like 50:1

more like 7% so >=15:1
Canadian Health Survey self-reported gay as 1% in 2003 to 1.7% in 2014. Bisexuality was 0.7% in 2003 and had doubled by 2014.
