I have often had oral sex on the first date. To be honest, I've often had anal sex on the first date as well. Maybe the situation is different due to sexual orientation. I can't help that I'm 'popular'!

Well, as a rule, men will always say they have more partners. Gay men can live out that fantasy because there aren't any women (who always say they have fewer partners) in the work. The other effect, but mostly for the really old queens, is that until the 70s, gay men were mostly in the closet, and it's harder to have a monogamous relationship in secret; of course, since the 80s, there's been a trend in the other direction because of AIDS.

I think maybe that gay men, in addition to not wanting to have the same kind of sex as heteros, may not want to have the same kind of controlling relationships as heteros. I obviously am not speaking from experience, but if I was a man who had escaped the clutches of women, I doubt seriously I'd want to have the same kind of relationship with a man that I didn't want with a woman. I believe men in general are less inclined toward monogamy, they just put up with it because women often won't have sex with them any other way. Of course, I am only talking in generalities, and don't mean to offend any gay men in happy relationships, it's just that a lot of the gay men I know are in "looser" relationships that are actually more honest.
