fortiesfun said:You quote this figure numerous times, so it is time to point out that it is quite wrong.
It is derived from Kinsey's early surveys that said that 10% of men were exclusively or predominantly homosexual. You just assume that the other 90% are all exclusively heterosexual, but in fact, even the Kinsey data show something quite different, and subsequent research (Kinsey gathered his stuff 50 years ago now) has only increased the disparity. In fact, only slightly more men are completely hetero than are completely homo. Most men, plain and simple, are (at least in their behavior, which is your standard for "normal") bi, not hetero or homo.
Almost 80% of men will, at some point after their early adolescent fooling around, have some further male-male sexual experiences. Kinsey's 10% may not be a bad estimate of the number of men who are "gay" in the sense that most or all of their behavior is with other men, but "normal" in the sense of what most men actually do, is bi, taking up about the next 60%. Exclusive heterosexuality is still a minority behavior, and monogomous heterosexuality solely for the purposes of procreation (i.e., no fucking except with the wife with the intention of making babies) is just about unheard of.
Seems logical when you start out, and you apparently believe it, because you cite the same statistic repeatedly, but it just ain't so.
Sorry.
To follow on the original logic:
"Only 10% of the population has red hair. If 100% of people had red hair, it would be natural."
I'd also like to point out that if 100% of the population having a certain sexuality is the criteria for being natural..... heterosexuality isn't natural either.
