Survey: One third of young Americans say they aren’t 100% straight
Nearly a third of Americans under 30 do not identify as 100% straight, a new survey has found.
Following a similar study in the UK, YouGov asked 1,000 American adults to place their sexuality on the Kinsey scale, where 0 is exclusively straight and 6 is exclusively gay.
Overall, 78% of respondents say they are completely straight, while 4% say they are completely gay.
Sixteen percent say they fall somewhere in between: 10% more straight than gay, 3% in the middle and another 3% predominantly gay.
However, younger Americans were noticeably less likely to put themselves in a firm category, with only 66% of under-30s identifying as completely straight or gay; 29% say they are bisexual on some level.
The research noted that ‘a large number of Americans who classify themselves as heterosexual still admit to having had same sex experiences.’
Fifteen percent of straight women and 8% of straight men say they have had a sexual experience with someone of the same sex.
The survey was conducted between the 12 and 13 August, and has a margin of error of 4.2%.
A similar study in the UK found that British people are even more likely to be sexually fluid than Americans. One in two British people under the age of 25 said they were bisexual on some level.
