Let's say that you have been sexually active since you were 17, guess depends on country culture and not sure what would fit USA but find 17 is conservative enough. Now you're 30 years old. And if we assume you only retain one sexual partner at a time then that means somewhere around getting a new partner every 4 days... I mean if anything if you got that stamina you should probably be studied.

I think the assumption is that the default mode for gay men is just going to the nearest gay bar, grabbing the first guy you like, and then just doing that basically every single day. The assumption is that gay dudes are just ready to gently caress absolutely any other gay dude at any given moment with no emotional attachments or long term commitments at all. They gently caress on the first date and every date is a first date. No courtship, no relationships, no awkwardness, just all loving all the time!

Of course if you bother getting to know gay dudes that just isn't how they are overall.

It's because, to a lot of anti-gay people, being gay is a sexual taboo and all sexual taboos are equal. People who aren't straight have already done one bad sex thing, so of course they must be willing to do all the others, if not immediately then very soon - and so they accuse gay people of being unfaithful, or pedophiles, or into bestiality, or whatever else comes to mind, because if they were willing to be gay they must also be willing to be all those things. This is also why the slippery slope arguments come out so quickly. So, they figure, why wouldn't a gay man have sex every night with someone they just met? They're gay.

People who are still on Freep are not going to take a nuanced look at things they oppose, so you see this belief a lot there.

Edit: Adultery often doesn't count for the men because that's just regular sex they aren't supposed to have and not something 'weird', so Trump is still OK. Women who want to do that are often weird and wrong to them, though.

I think that was from an actual study done decades ago by some lovely homophobic group that totally wasn't biased and definitely didn't just walk up to a bunch of male prostitutes and/or make up numbers.

I think the whole "gays die at 40 on average" crap came from an old Paul Cameron study, where he looked at obituaries in gay newspapers during the height of the AIDS crisis, averaged them together over a few weeks, and said "welp, here's the average age of death for the homos!"

I think it's pretty easy to find a flaw or two in that methodology, but Freepers don't care where it came from. Just that it lines up with their worldview.

I'm pretty sure FReepers are envisioning more of a non-stop series of orgies where people leave not even knowing how many people they engaged with, much less names or anything. I don't think a series of short-lived monogamous relationships live up to their standards for the gay lifestyle.

It's a good example of Prester Jane's inner/outer narrative. They know its ridiculous but it doesn't matter because anyone in the group knows it isnt the real argument.

Edit: you can see it pretty clearly in the Acosta threads. When the occasional freeper pops up to say "that doesn't look like assault to me" they are ostracized, not debated because if they were in the group they'd just accept it.
