- Cool! That means that in the 3 years between '88 and '91 the men were
- able to recruit enough impressionable young men to double the number of
- male homosexuals!

- How does the survey explain the 100% difference between the '88 and the '91
- data? Or don't they bother trying? What's their take on the 5.3% of men

- Are they assumed heterosexual?
