A evidência vem de quatro estudos e pesquisas independentes (Espanha, Quebec, EUA/Canadá e EUA), com amostras de 1,5 mil a 7,9 mil pessoas. Em nenhum deles fantasias homoeróticas chegam perto de 50% entre homens heterossexuais — todas as medidas ficam entre 8,2% e 26,8%, e cada uma usa definições e amostras diferentes, portanto não são equivalentes entre si.
Cada barra é uma medida distinta de um estudo distinto; a linha tracejada marca os 50% que a pergunta pressupõe. Passe o mouse sobre uma barra para ver o estudo.
