Why women are more likely to be bisexual than men

A study by the University of Notre Dame stated that female sexuality is based on "adaptation" to change unlike males. The celebrities who came out of the closet

It is known that female sexuality is more complex than male sexuality, and therefore, it is not surprising that women are also different in choosing their sexual orientation.

A study of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, USA, studied 5,018 women and 4,191 men as they progressed from adolescence to adulthood, keeping track of sexual activity.

The findings, which were led by sociologist Elizabeth McClintock, found that there is a trait in women that makes them more likely to explore same-sex relationships if the opportunity arises.

For this, the environmental factors and the experiences in the construction of a sexual identity are determinant. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to stay on one side of the sexual fence or the other.

WOMEN ARE THREE TIMES MORE THAN MEN TO CHANGE THEIR SEXUAL IDENTITY

For their part, women who were more educated, more attractive, and who avoided early motherhood were less likely to experience bisexuality.

Dr. Elizabeth McClintock said, "Women with some degree of attraction for both sexes could tend to heterosexuality if they have favorable choices in the male partner market."

"Women who initially had success with men, as traditionally expected, are unlikely to be able to explore their attraction to other women. However, those with the same sexual attractions, but whose heterosexual choices were less favorable, could have a greater Opportunity to experiment with same-sex couples.

WOMEN HAD MORE LIKELIHOODS TO CHANGE ITS SEXUAL IDENTITY BETWEEN 22 AND 28

McClintock made a difference with the men. Those with higher levels of education were less likely to see themselves as "100%" heterosexual. In addition, physical attractiveness was not clearly related to sexual orientation.

"Men are less likely to be attracted to both sexes," she added. "If a man is not attracted to a sex, it is unlikely that a romantic opportunity will alter his sexual identity."

This is not the first time that science has given special attention to this subject. In fact, experts at the University of Essex said that women are bisexual or gay but never heterosexual.

The study brought together 345 women to watch attractive clips of naked people of both sexes.

The results showed that heterosexual women were strongly aroused by both sexes, even though they said they were only interested in men.
