In the past, I've asked myself if it’s possible for a straight guy to be in lust with another guy and what if he acted on that lust and have sex with another man, is he still straight?
Popular reasons cited as to why men sleep with other men include curiosity and intoxication; even so, others argue that it simply isn’t possible for a straight man to sleep with another man and remain straight; if a man had sex with another man, then he is therefore, gay.

His conclusions were drawn based on a recently concluded study titled, “Heterosexual College Students Who Hookup with Same‑Sex Partners” where almost 700 (383 men and 312 women) of the 24,000 participants, all of whom were straight college students, admitted to having same-sex hookup. Of these more or less 700 people:
- 12 percent identified as straight men
- 25 percent identified as straight women
- 29 percent enjoyed the encounter and were likely to have had previous same-sex hookups; more than half of them “wanted to enter in a longer term relationship with their partner.”
- it was likely the first time for 22 percent of them and over 70 percent of that “reported binge drinking prior to the encounter.” They were the “drunk and curious” type.
- 21 percent of them were most likely intoxicated women, they engaged in the same-sex encounter in the public “maybe for show,” they are believed to be “enacting a social script” to “encourage performative bisexuality for the arousal of male peers.”
- 12 percent, mostly women, “loved it but religious.” They most likely attend religious services and over half of them admitted that their “religious views influenced their opinions about sex.” However, they also enjoyed their same-sex experience and will most likely “pursue it further.”
- 9 percent felt “little enjoyment” and three-fifths of them said they did not enjoy the hookup at all. Participants under this group were said to have known their partners before the encounter “which was unlikely to have progressed beyond kissing.”
- 7 percent, all male and religious, were classified as “just not who I can be.” They believed that “same-gender sexual contact is wrong” though they reportedly enjoyed their same-sex hookup but only moderately.
Dr. Burriss added that most of these students are “unlikely to be ‘closeted’ or ‘secretly gay,'” although some of them will “no doubt transition to a gay, lesbian, or bisexual identity, but others will continue to identify as straight.”
