Is it common or average or a higher percentage of people to be bi, straight , or anything else? As in which one is the most typical? Also, is it more normal to like swinging or be jealous of multiple partners in mentally stable people?

I'd really like an honest answer if anyone has one. It's pertinent to my personal life.

I would imagine that being straight probably describes the largest segment of the population. As far as what's "normal" or not when it comes to swinging or having multiple partners, it's all much too subjective to make any such determination. I think the answer lies in what YOU think of those things. Do YOU like swinging or not? Do YOU get jealous?
Perhaps the questions might be better asked if I were to change the "YOU" to "YOUR PARTNER"?

No idea. For me, I'm bi-curious but prefer a relationship with one man and no multiple partners.

From what I've read along time ago, in the US, it's a very small percentage...something like 4% are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Idk about swinging.

More common to identify as straight. monogamy has been the standard of our culture, so that should tell you something about your swinging question. it is far more common to be jealous.
