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.
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.
So I don’t think that’s what the article was going for (see melmi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 's reply), but also yes.
I consider myself straight and for the most part normal for a 20-something guy.
So far, I’ve only ever dated women, however I certainly consider some femboys to be very cute and I wouldn’t inherently be opposed to dating one. While I’m not attracted to penises, and I’m certainly not attracted to masculine men, some femboys are absolutely “feminine enough” that I do find them attractive.
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”.
I’m more confident than ever that bi/pan is secretly the most common sexuality.
In many ancient societies, being bi was the norm. Like it was actually considered close minded to be straight or gay.
Obviously this isn’t proof but I have it memorized so I’m gonna spout it off anyway, there’s a scene in doctor who where a lesbian companion gets hit on by a Roman centurion, he tells her “oh. Well I’m just normal. You know, guys and girls. But that’s okay [other centurion] is like that too.”
Ehh we didnt need no study for that. Think about how it always turns out that rich and powerfull people are bi or gay. Hell, the us president is one of them.

The romens has house husbands for a reason. Pretty men are pretty.
So the headlines could read
" _stright_men are in femboys according to recent survey"

This is healthy.
I was only replying to
Gynosexuality is the name for it.

Oh no, so the gays are turning straighter??

A lot of people are mono under duress.
i’ve considered that being bi helps with forging political alliances … so there’s an evolutionary advantage to it.
