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.
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.
