Slog - Comments on Great Experiments in Cunnilingus http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/great_experiments_in_cunnilingus From MSNBC.com... More women experimenting with bisexuality More women--particularly those in their late teens and 20s--are experimenting with bisexuality or at least feel more comfortable reporting same-sex encounters, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The survey, released Thursday by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, found that 11.5 percent of women, ages 18 to 44, said they’ve had at least one sexual experience with another women in their lifetimes, compared with about 4 percent of women, ages 18 to 59, who said the same in a comparable survey a decade earlier.

Or adamantly terrified of being gay, since she doesn't like guys and has been in love with me for a year...without sexual contact. Grr, I hate closet cases. I'm so off topic.

Hey, this is good news. More bi girls to play with to get over her.

What percent increase is that? Like, 100 percent +, right?

Close to a 200% increase. But the cohorts are not the same. 18-44 (27 years) versus 18-59 (42 years). A hefty chunk of the "increase" could be due to that. On the other hand, the older women have had more time to get it on with each other.

A lot of my lesbian friends complain about how their ranks tend to thin out around the age of 30. My theory is that straight guys younger than that basically aren't worth talking to, let alone fucking, and that some women just mistake understandable lack of attrraction to a pack of walking hard-ons for lesbianism.

But not all bi girls who end up with men are suddenly strait, you know...just because you choose one as a life partner doesn't mean you give up lusting after/having sex with the other.

I know plenty of men that are at the very least trying out the bi/gay thing.

I would attribute all of this to the fact that sex is just not a big deal anymore. Its like "whatever, sex big fucking deal" directly in opposition to what the religious right/parents preach. Kids now know the truth: get it while you are young and you want it, before you a labored down with a soul-less job and a mortgage, cause at least you can say "one time I was HELLA freaky".

ok, shit. I should not drink and comment. Whatev's.

I've known quite a few of those, but I think Dianna was just saying that the post intimated that that was the only way things happened.

She claims that many girls who say they are bi are trying to attract guys (sort of like those Girls Gone Wild videos).

For girls it's "hip" to pretend to fall in love with women because that's what guys do, and it turns guys on. For men to have sex with men... oh no, that's degrading because that makes them more feminine. And that should be avoided at all cost!
I also think women are more likely to (consciously or subconsciously) repress their desires in order to fit society's standards. Which might explain why there are more gay men than gay women.

The latter was WAYYYYY better in bed.

I know a lot of girls who are unattractive and date women because they don't think they can attract guys.

Does any man really know how a woman's sexual anatomy is supposed to work? Men and women are just not very compatible, sexually or otherwise. It makes sense to me that people of the same sex have better sex than people of opposite sexes.

Go on, girls.... more men for me! ;)

That's just who I am, I'm attracted to both the body and mind of women. People need to shut up about experimenting sexuality and just love someone. If you like guys, great, if you like girls, great. You like both? Great. Go do it. Stop "experimenting"; you can feel an attraction to someone. Plenty of straight people who have been attracted to the opposite sex and have failed relationships. The person you end up with defines you "who you are." You end up falling in love with a man and you say you are bi? You're a girl who is straight, because odds are that you are not going to cheat on your man, thus making you straight, 'cause you only now have sex with this man. Yeah, you can be attracted to the other sex, okay, well, you're over that now, since you chose to be with him as a lifelong partner. Until that day you break up and find someone new or cheat the fuck out of him and he says it's a-okay, you can't be "bi." Likewise with a man who says he's bi and ends up with a guy. He's gay. It's just easier this way if you want to label. Well, unless all you do is have sex, then why bother labeling if you just have a ton of sex? You want a label, you can settle with "hypersexuality" or something. And congrats to those who surely know who they want to spend the rest of your lives with-- you already know if you're straight or not.

Just a friendly reminder:

one typical manifestation of heterosexism is assuming that people who get it on with people of the same sex aren't actually queer, but have other motives other than good ole fashioned lust.

I know the attitude and the assumptions because I used to have the same ones before I turned into a homo myself.
