Only looked at a few items, but generally they said 50 % (yes, fifty!!!!) of all men engage in homosexual behaviour at some point but that medical researchers believe the actual incidence of true homosexuality is only 4%. When you subtract all who do not identify themselves as being gay or who eventually (by age 30 or so) who migrate to hetero relationships, you are left with about 8% of men being involved in gay relationships at some point in their lives, but still with scientists believing only half of those are actually gay. Although many men who engaged in gay relationships in the past used to be subject to intense social pressure to remain in that ligfestyle, it no longer appears to be the case. All men have some degree of unrealistic phobia about women which could explain the unexpected gay behaviour of men thought to be falsely identified as gay, as could family dynamics of overbearing mothers and distant hostile fathers which is thought to interfere with traditional patterns of identifying with fathers and having oedipal wishes to marry mothers, which develops into heterosexuality in men I respect orientation, but when a young person declares something outside of the usual trends, I can't help but wonder how they will feel in the future. Perhaps the modern era is creating an expanded period of latency. . .
