Awesome statistical analysis. This is called a sampling error--trying to infer a broad conclusion from a self-selecting sample. The most famous of example of this error is when some newspapers declared that President Truman was defeated by Dewey. The reason for this faulty prediction was that newspapers conducted telephone polls of voters. Unfortunately, during the late forties, most of the people that owned phones were upper middle class or wealthy. This group normally votes Republican. This partisan bias skewed the poll to a voting preference that the majority of American voters did not share.

80% eh? I would consider the type of the woman that go in to a porn shop to rent a porn vid. Most women won't go. And if they REALLY wanted to rent a vid they would send the guy, or go with him. Most women that go rent porn vids are fetish freaks and such.

Point is... it is not strange to see woman renting other than Straight movies. However, i think if you asked women at random, You will see that a much higher % wouldnt be turned on by gay porn.
