Attraction influences bisexuality

• April 26, 2024

Since the nineteenth century, behavioral scientists have perceived the attraction bisexual in men and women and debate their place in the development of identity sexual .

In his studies of the 1940s, Dr. Alfred Kinsey discovered that many men married and publicly heterosexuals They claimed to have maintained relationships with other men.

However, a new study casts doubt on whether the true bisexuality , at least in men. The study conducted by a team of psychologists from Chicago and Toronto, gives the reason to those who have long doubted that this is an orientation sexual stable and specific.

By measuring patterns of excitement genital response to images of men and women, it was discovered that in reality men who declared themselves bisexual they were excited with one of the two sexes, usually with other males.

In this sense, they did not show the patterns of excitement congruent with their supposed attraction for both sexes. On the contrary, three quarters of them experienced patterns similar to those of homosexuals ; the rest was indistinguishable from the heterosexuals .

According to Randall Sell, associate professor of socio-medical sciences at Columbia University (New York), sometimes wishes bisexual They are transient and remain little known.

"The last thing we want," says the specialist, "is for some therapist to start telling the bisexual that are wrong and that, in reality, they are on their way to homosexuality ".

In this regard, other researchers and some bisexual declared that the technique of this study did not allow to measure the excitement properly because, as the sexologist Fritz Klein says, social and emotional attractions are very important elements in the bisexuality .

The truth is that the results of the investigation and the historical conception of the bisexualism male. Therefore, according to specialists, a greater number of variables and people should be considered in the future.
