    Why do you think? By this I mean two things.

    1) do most straight guys have at least one person question their sexuality?
    2) do most straight guys question their own sexuality at least once?

    I believe so... Can't really answer this question since I'm not a guy, but I think that there are many guys out there that already questioned about their sexuality and most of them don't admit it. That's just my opinion though.
    I already questioned my sexual orientation before, but I don't think it counts because I'm a woman and bisexual.

    By your info, it sounds like you're a little confused about your orientation. Are you asking this because you want to find out if you're gay or not? I may be able to give you some help on this, if you want to. Or you can ask about it to other members if you think it's better for you.

    For my brother, yes, he has. I don't know why. I thought he could be gay or bi, but I was really just projecting. He was always so secretive and quiet like me, but it was just due to how we were raised. He told me he had questioned it and was still even questioning recently. I told him that noticing that a guy is good looking doesn't make you gay/bi, but if your thoughts continually take you back to that person, then that is different. He said, "No, I'm not like that."

    Whoops, forgot to change my orientation. I'm gay. At least that's what I think I am. I've come to accept it now. I had that status before because I know that I was gay, but I was grappling with accepting it.

    I think so, I mean I don't know what goes on in everyone's mind but I genuinely think every person in the world has thought about doing something with the other sex at least once whether it be kissing, touching, actual sex, getting into a relationship etc...

    I think it depends on the type/extent of questioning.

    If we're talking the light, hypothetical kind (the kind that casually crosses your mind once in a blue moon)- e.g. "what would it be like to get it on with a guy?" - *goes to see what gay porn does*, then yeah, I'm sure almost all straight guys have indeed questioned, if only fleetingly.

    But if it's more probing and persistent questions like "would I belong in a relationship with a guy?" or "that guy seems really cute... I honestly don't know what I'd do with him", then I'm sure that there are still many straight guys out there who've had such contemplations, but I think that among straight guys they'd be a minority, and a much bigger proportion would come to the conclusion they're non-straight.

    Well I've seen plenty of people on here questioning their sexuality - having accepted they're homosexual and then thinking it may not be the case. So I would think it probably is common for straight people also.

    I'm currently questioning and for a few weeks I genuinely thought I was gay, but I'm actually straight or bicurious, so that could give you some perspective?

    1) I think most guys get asked about their sexuality at least once. I was once questioned in middle school jokingly.

    2) Seeing how I'm gay, I couldn't tell if straight guys question their sexuality :lol:. That said, I think most guys at one point question their sexuality. Maybe they're in the locker room and stare at a guy's body a little too much because they want to have that body and then ask themselves, "Wait, dude, why did I stare at that guy? Am I gay?" And then they realize that liking how a guy's body looks does not make them gay.

    I think it'd be a surprise nowadays for any guy to not be questioned about their sexuality by others. At least for the younger people nowadays, I've seen that it's so normal now for straight guys to get physically close to each other (hugging, holding hands, etc as friends) and have other people question (usually jokingly) if they're actually straight

    I imagine just about everyone at least questions their sexuality, perhaps along the lines of thinking "Could I be missing out on something?" or similar. To question is, in the most basic sense, just a thought and doesn't change one's preferences or orientation. Just like you might wonder what it would be like to live on Mars or have purple skin; thinking it doesn't mean you actually live on Mars or have purple skin.

    So yeah, I'm pretty sure even heteros question their sexuality, even if no change comes of it. I know I did a loooooong time ago, and it wasn't until last year that I was attracted to a man for the first time.
