    I thought it was weird they were implying femboys can’t be straight, so I went to investigate. What they mean is that men who identify as heterosexual are finding themselves attracted to femboys and intentionally seeking pornography featuring them.

    I’m more confident than ever in my hypothesis that bi/pan is secretly the most common sexuality.

      I think it’s a bit of a double entendre, because it’s also referencing this specific part of the report:

      As the stock of “femboys” rose, the fate of porn featuring “straight” guy porn has fallen. Searches for “straight” on PornhubGay tumbled nine spots to 19th place, just above “cruising” and two spots below “cute femboy.” (Notably, “straight guys first time” is still in the 6th spot, though it was knocked out of the top five.)

      So “straight” guys are “out” as a gay porn category and femboys are “in”.

      Iirc only about 10% on either end are fully gay or straight, with the other 80% having various shades of m-spec sexualities.

      Then you add kink/shame/taboo to the mix.

      And we also consider that many of these people are Pavlov training themselves to be aroused by their own pheromones in their goon caves in the absence of the complete sensory experience of sex.
