I've run a poll on a site devoted to thumb rings to get the answer to this question. By far the most common answer from the folks who wear them is that it is a fashion statement. Many people says it makes them feel sexy. The vast minority who wear them do it because of his or her sexual orientation.
Interestingly, those who don't wear them but have responded to the poll by far think that thumb rings signify sexual orientation, but that doesn't bear out from the responses of those who wear them.
I think that at one time they may have been a sign of sexual orientation, but over time it has become a fashion statement. The same could be said about men wearing earrings. Once it was uncommon and usually done only by the gay community, and now they are worn by many people.
I haven't seen a single response where someone is wearing them for health reasons, although I am sure there are some who do.

thumb rings are used because the thumb holds the most arteries compared to the other fingers.... it is scientifically proven that a ring on your thumb improves blood circulation, because the thumb absorbs positive energy given out by the ring... so it's more of a health thing rather than a fashion statement....
