Interesting article. I know in my case I find no contradiction in presenting as Heterosexual to society and Bisexual otherwise.
I do love women sexually...love everything about there bodies: pussies, tits, tits, eyes , lips, hair! A gorgeous woman will turn my head in a heartbeat. So, too, though, will a hot guy; I appreciate guys NOT just for their penis but their balls, ass, legs, lips, face, hair (or lack of hair). kissing and making out with either sex is so erotic and arousing I see no reason not to enjoy that. I look at sexual orientation as a sliding continuum, point A, totally heterosexual...point Z totally homosexual. But sometimes I'm at points B, C, or D and sometimes more at points W, X, or Y. I find that completely natural and satisfying. Maybe that's compartmentalizing things but for job and family considerations it works for me.

Interesting and pretty spot on. I don't really consider myself a true bisexual but do have the fascination with male gear, not the emotional parts.

Yeah, I don't think I'm interested in a romantic relationship with a guy, though I'd love a deep emotional connection with a gay guy that with I was also physical. But I get the article. I love women but something about two guys just fucking and sucking each other and enjoying the sex for the sex's sake is so hot.

Interesting most do not talk about it at all. I know two very hot str8 guys guys that one nigth horny not stoned flipped a coin and then fucked and flipped. They even told me they tongue kissed I almost came in my jeans lol

I think the study shows that human beings rationalize their thoughts and actions about this no less than many other parts of their lives.
Similar to "I want to fuck you, but I don't actually want you." It even addresses the things guys say to themselves when they go outside their primary relationships. It doesn't address their actual mental health, though, just how they rationalize.
As the cartoon character says, "People is the craziest things!

What's interesting is that this is the second study and it differs minimally from the first study. I'd like to see the study in another 10 years - with the same subjects - to see where they are. I'd find that fascinating.
