The world is certainly changing. In an online survey by YouGov, almost half of Britain’s 18-24 year olds who took part admitted that they were not 100% straight. 

 

When respondents were asked to plot themselves on a "sexuality scale," an impressive 23% of British people chose something other than 100% heterosexual. That figure increases to 49% in 18 to 24 year olds.

 

The scale used was invented by Alfred Kinsey in the 1940s. It plots individuals on a range of sexual dispositions from exclusively heterosexual at 0 through to exclusively homosexual at 6. YouGov used a basic form of the scale and asked people to place themselves on it.

 

That said, a majority of Brits who took the survey - almost 72% - saw themselves as 100% straight. However, that means 28% were open - even if only in a small way - to same-sex attraction or experiences.

 

On the flip side, only 7% of respondents over age 60 admitted to any degree of bisexuality.

 

According to the survey: "Clearly, these figures are not measures of active bisexuality - overall, 89% of the population describes themselves as heterosexual - but putting yourself at level 1 allows for the possibility of homosexual feelings and experiences. More than anything, it indicates an increasingly open minded approach to sexuality."

 

And we all know, open minds lead to open holes.
