There is not nearly as much gay sex on this chart as I would've guessed. Just the one bi girl hookup in the second from the right tree at the top. Actually is that a threesome or do you think they just all screwed at different points in time?

Well it is a 20 year old study. Attitudes towards LGBT people were much less accepting back then. The participants in this study are now between the ages of 34-38 most likely. Probably a lot of people in the closet and keeping their relationships discreet or not having relationships, and some that haven't realised that they're gay yet.

If you did this study today, there would be a lot more gay sex, but probably less than we'd guess still. LGBT people are still a minority after all.

The relationships were from 1993-1995. Everyone in the graph is in their late 40s. So everything you said about attitudes is probably just more true.

There's a gay hookup on the branches just to the left, too.
