It’s… Actually kinda hard for me to make a guess. I think overall it’s probably more even than you’d expect. All things being equal (sex drive, being into your partner, etc) straight women outnumber gay men. 51% of the population are women (ish), and about 5% are gay men. Assuming everyone’s taken, and everyone has roughly the same ssxual activity, you’d be looking at around 5x the blowjobs in gay relationships (on average there will be more penises to be sucked in gay relationships than straight)
However things aren’t equal. People who’re trans are also more likely to not be straight (about 17.6% of trans people overall self-ID as straight), but that’ll skew the numbers in a lot of different directions because of surgery, and dysphoria.
I’m actually curious how heavily heterofatalism affects this, as well. A lot of straight people seem to hate their partners, though I’ve been seeing less of that ball and chain type stuff recently than I had in previous years. But also a lot more people are just single than before, so that’ll play into it.
I would say it’s also age dependent, but there’s not much of a difference. Over 40s report having sex about 69 (nice) times per year on average vs 25-34s report about 90 times a year. With retirement communities frequently being STI hotspots I’m not that surprised tbh (condoms do more than prevent pregnancy!)
Only now did I remember that we have statistics about a lot of things. Straight women give oral sex an average of 5.14 times per month. Gay men are 5.3x per month. So yeah. Gay men give fewer blowjobs overall, but more per capita, and gay coupled will have a little more than double the amount of blowjobs. Assuming about 5% of the population is gay men, and only looking at couples, we’re looking at about 1 out of every 6 blowjobs being from a gay man.
… These are the thoughts that kept me out of the good schools.
Edit: Now that I’ve been awake for more than 10 minutes I realize that the doubling of the number of blowjobs by gay men because there are 2 is prooooobably faulty logic. So it’s closer to about 10.3% of blowjobs given by gay men if we don’t forget lesbians (my own demographic, damn you, me!), and we assume a 9:1 ratio of straight women to gay men.

You should have gotten a statistics scholarship. This is the basis of a Master’s thesis.
I didn’t expect to receive such high praise on a post about blowjobs, but hey I’ll take it!
