    No. I think sexuality exists on a spectrum, with orientations at any fixed point. Some are at the far ends and feel attraction exclusively to one gender, and some are varying rates of bisexual or asexual. But I don't think everyone is a little bit "gay" or rather, bisexual.

    Nah, i don't think so.

    And, even if someone is 99% straight, for example, that 1% would be pratically irrelevant. So, nah.

    I don't think so. There are always people who are 100% straight (or on the other end, 100% gay), and even if the number of people is not that big, not everyone is able to feel attraction towards a gender that they, well, don't feel attraction to.

    Sexuality is pretty fixed for some people, maybe a little less fixed for others, but there's a core part of it that I personally think is pretty solid; it's mostly our perception that may change over time.

    (E.g. if you do feel attraction to the same sex but are at a point where don't want to accept it, you might go "I'm straight, but I'm just a little bit gay, isn't everyone?" Doesn't necessarily mean that every straight person is a "little bit gay," there might be other factors behind it too. That's just one scenario I suppose.)

    Just my 2 cents. Truth be told, some people just aren't able to feel any attraction towards the same sex, just like some people just aren't able to feel any attraction to a different sex.

    I don't think so. Maybe though. I can't see into everyone in the world, so it's kinda hard.

    10% of the world is gay and 10% of the world is straight everyone else is somewhere in between.

    I used to subscribe to the "everyone is a little bit bi/gay" mentality. Although I kinda think that's true, most people it's a negligible amount. So no.

    80% of people who identify as "straight" have admitted to having some fantasy of the same sex.

    Nope. I think that many of us do employ wishful thinking though...

    I think it's possible that more people are bi than we think. Especially girls, I'm pretty sure they did an experiment that seemed to prove that in girls. Not that i am really convinced bt that odd little experiment. But absolutely no, not everyone is a bit gay, that's a silly thing to say.

    Well I guess that I'm the minority here that believes that no one is 100% straight/gay. I think that, even if its in a solely romantic or solely sexual way, everyone has some attraction (no matter how minimal) that's not heterosexual.

    No, but I think a decent amount of people get curious sometimes, but that doesn't imply sexual attraction.

    I do. For a significant amount of people it probably is a 'once-in-a-life-maybe' thing, but the possibilty exists in everyone.
