So the headlines could read

" _stright_men are in femboys according to recent survey"

I think it's a bit of a double entendre, because it's also referencing this specific part of the report:

As the stock of “femboys” rose, the fate of porn featuring “straight” guy porn has fallen. Searches for “straight” on PornhubGay tumbled nine spots to 19th place, just above “cruising” and two spots below “cute femboy.” (Notably, “straight guys first time” is still in the 6th spot, though it was knocked out of the top five.)

So "straight" guys are "out" as a gay porn category and femboys are "in".

Iirc only about 10% on either end are fully gay or straight, with the other 80% having various shades of m-spec sexualities.

Then you add kink/shame/taboo to the mix.

And we also consider that many of these people are Pavlov training themselves to be aroused by their own pheromones in their goon caves in the absence of the complete sensory experience of sex.

I’m more confident than ever that bi/pan is secretly the most common sexuality.

In many ancient societies, being bi was the norm. Like it was actually considered close minded to be straight or gay.

Obviously this isn’t proof but I have it memorized so I’m gonna spout it off anyway, there’s a scene in doctor who where a lesbian companion gets hit on by a Roman centurion, he tells her “oh. Well I’m just normal. You know, guys and girls. But that’s okay [other centurion] is like that too.”

I think humanity just gets bored and wants what isn't immediately in front of us. We're bored of muscly men and tiny women so we want some tiny men and muscly women now. Makes sense to me.

Femboys can enjoy muscle mommies.

republican states are banning pornhub

the demographic down bad enough in these states to bypass the bans have a type

You’re just avant-garde

It's the usual bisexual dilemma: "Look how smoll he is! And look how tall she is!"

Muscle mommies are hot, what else is there to explain?

I'm mentoring a femboy in our queer nonprofit, he came to our board retreat and got adorably flustered trying to explain to the group "why wouldn't you want to look like what you're attracted to?"

I've offered to build him a Linux box but he says "not yet."

it was always inevitable xD

Nonono I'm pretty sure that's the article author, Matthew Rodriguez. /s

but maybe.

This may shock you, but women are into femboys.

more women want to date me now because i present as a femboy. it's hilarious, but understandable. they feel safer around me generally and appreciate makeup/style choices and my higher attention on emotions which i learned through the queer community.

My best advice is not to worry about it. Everyone likes femboys, so you just decline any invitations you receive from men in the same way you would decline unwanted advances from a woman/enby/etc. you find unattractive.

Mascgirls?

I think the opposite is tomboys and it's the older word that femboy is based on? But don't quote me on that until I've checked en etymylogicimist.

Edit: ok, can't find any sources to back this up, but tomboy is older and in a similar semantic space, so I'm still willing to claim that it was at least the inspiration for the shape of the word.

If femboy is feminine boy, then it should be masc girl. Which lesbians call them mascs a lot so...I guess they are?
