For another story, see 'Science,' 20 January 1989.  I can't figure out
whether the data under analysis came partly from a 1970 survey and partly
from a later one, or whether it's all from the 1970 survey.

In any case, the survey reported that 3+ percent of the respondents had
been exclusively homosexual in the year previous to being surveyed, and
that 20+ percent had had at least one homosexual contact unto orgasm.
Among those who had graduated college, the percentage who had gotten off
at least once homosexually was 31.2 percent.  The study surveyed men only.

The study would not consider me in that 3+ percent because I haven't
gotten laid in the past year.  So it underestimates.  It underestimates
in a more important way, too, which the authors admit:  Any time you ask
someone if they have engaged in homosexual behavior, you can guess that
a lot of closet cases will say, 'Heavens, no!'
