Are Gay men more open minded about sex? If so, why?

These questions are by no means phrased to exclude anyone else in the LGBT community, feel free to jump in...

id say it is probably more even than ppl think. Maybe gay ppl are slightly more open sexually. Speaking for myself tho im bisexual and would consider myself quite open minded when it comes to sex.

[Doozer]

More open though in what way?

[Rayden]

more open in wanting to try new things, talking about what they like or at least thats the impression i get from having watched queer as folk. Maybe because it is 2 ppl of the same sex there is more familiarity and therefore it may be easier to open up to a sexual partner.

gay men are total sluts- way more so than gay women

"Gay author Gabriel Rotello notes the perspective of many gays that "Gay liberation was founded . . . on a 'sexual brotherhood of promiscuity,' and any abandonment of that promiscuity would amount to a 'communal betrayal of gargantuan proportions.'" Rotello's perception of gay promiscuity, which he criticizes, is consistent with survey results. A far-ranging study of homosexual men published in 1978 revealed that 75 percent of self-identified, white, gay men admitted to having sex with more than 100 different males in their lifetime: 15 percent claimed 100-249 sex partners; 17 percent claimed 250- 499; 15 percent claimed 500-999; and 28 percent claimed more than 1,000 lifetime male sex partners. By 1984, after the AIDS epidemic had taken hold, homosexual men were reportedly curtailing promiscuity, but not by much. Instead of more than 6 partners per month in 1982, the average non-monogamous respondent in San Francisco reported having about 4 partners per month in 1984.
Promiscuity among lesbians is less extreme, but it is still higher than among heterosexual women. Overall, women tend to have fewer sex partners than men. But there is a surprising finding about lesbian promiscuity in the literature. Australian investigators reported that lesbian women were 4.5 times more likely to have had more than 50 lifetime male partners than heterosexual women (9 percent of lesbians versus 2 percent of heterosexual women); and 93 percent of women who identified themselves as lesbian reported a history of sex with men. Other studies similarly show that 75-90 percent of women who have sex with women have also had sex with men. "

So when we throw the restraints set by society (the rule book man-woman) out the window, both males and females find sexual freedom?

Are we truly designed to be monogamous?

i might not put it that way so easily but i certainly see your point GL. It seems to me tho a lot of 100% straight ppl are more uptight with regards sex.

Where do you think the uptightness comes from?

society in general imo. People seem to be afraid of being different, or at least be seen to be different. All to do with being part of a clique. And its not just to do with sex. Too many ppl are too desperate to seek others approval and so a lot of ppls goals and interests are virtually identical.
