I have no proof of this, but my impression is that bisexuality is much more common than is usually thought. One of the issues that complicates the topic is that it seems very few bisexual people are attracted to each sex on an equal 50-50 basis. Many of us are predominantly attracted to one sex, and attracted to the other sex on a much more limited basis. Like someone can be 95% attracted to the same or opposite sex, but 5% attracted the other way. Moreover, one's minority sexual attraction can come to the fore at certain times & in certain circumstances.

I know many men who consider themselves heterosexual who would never fuck another man, but they nevertheless haven't turned down getting blown by other men.

I very much agree. Then these closeted bis often end up spreading myths like "everyone's a little bi (: look at me, i'm straight but a little bi (: still het tho" and on the other side, same-sex leaning bisexuals who claim lesbian or gay are more common than people think. A lot of them see being "lesbian" or "gay" as a big part of their identity and hold negative views about bisexual people. Of course, as you said, this is anecdotal from my own experience and observations. I'd love to see a real study.

Me too. Or a "gay man" who likes women when he's drunk...
