I feel like the basic premise of this study is far too complicated, because of traditionally far too static classifications.
People have never and will never be strictly heterosexual or strictly homosexual.
They have a preference, but they are never going to find the other sex entirely unattractive, even if some people would want to do your head in for claiming otherwise.
Ultimately, a butt is a butt, a nipple is a nipple and a man boob isn't that different from a woman boob either.
Certain characteristics like fitness, charisma, nurturance, intelligence, loyalty etc. can be viewed as sexy, too, and are entirely decoupled from sex.
As such, when you identify as heterosexual, you have a preference for the opposite sex, which is high enough that you wouldn't consider both sexes generally equal like with bisexuality, but it does not mean that you cannot find anyone of the same sex sexy, too.
They could have lots of characteristics that are typically ascribed to the other sex. Or they just happen to have the right combination of characteristics, apart from the sex, that you find really attractive.
You would prefer for them to be the opposite sex, but you would also prefer for that opposite-sex-person that's into you to be a top model. At some point, you just stop holding your breath and bang what's available.
- oceanghost 9y ago> People have never and will never be strictly heterosexual or strictly homosexual. Horseshit. I am attracted to the opposite sex and only the opposite sex. Trying to redefine sexuality in terms convenient for you, is frankly offensive. I'm sure if I tried to define your sexuality, you'd have an issue with it.
- Sylos 9y agoWell, I'm glad you always have your dowser ready to determine the sex of a butt, nipple or whatever else you might find sexy before you actually find it sexy. And trust me, I have no problem pissing someone off who sees any need to be offended by someone insinuating that they might find people of the same sex sexy to any degree at all. And no, I would not have a problem with you defining my sexuality. I'm frankly not sure what that's even supposed to mean. I find things sexy that I find sexy. There's nothing to define about it.
