I think, regardless of age, more women are curious and acting on that curiosity. There's not a huge stigma attached to it nowadays; in fact, one might be considered a "cool kid" or enlightened for having experimented.

There are vacation packages/destinations that are geared towards people who want to explore their sexuality. There are local swingers clubs too. It's a booming business.

My group of friends/acquaintances are pretty open minded. Most have had at least one foray into same sex coupling.

I don't and never have wondered. There is interest, it just doesn't happen IRL. OLD is a different medium, it is easy to meet people there.

Which general population?

Church going soccer mom's? Maybe not so much that population.
But even among that set there sure does seem to be a lot going on on the down low.

But I don't live, and have no desire to live, in places populated by uneducated reglious boring vanilla suburbanites. None at all.

I think that they are giving up the "straight" label and trading it in for something else. Not that I care in the least what anyone else is doing behind their closed bedroom door as long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

I would mention, though, that if those newly bi women are married that they are still committing adultery and might lose their marriage over it.

Talked to a good friend about this last night...we have no compunctions about sharing everything even if it would seem embarrassing to admit.
We also both have FB's so not just two old fashioned, puritanical, uptight old ladies
She and I agreed to this. Including her so it's more than just one viewpoint.
Neither of us have any desire or curiosity . Not that we haven't thought about it ...can see some practicality in it ...but it simply doesn't ring the smallest bell even if it meant the prospect of a more orgasmically knowledgeable partner. It's simply a big turn off.
Sometimes there just isn't flexibility.

Exactly...that's what being straight means, that you desire ONLY the opposite sex. if you're aroused by the thought of trying it with a female, if you have that desire whether you act on it or not, you're bi.

Of course I don't KNOW that this is representative of the general population, but it is the impression I get. Church going, uneducated, vanilla, soccer mom's are the worst for sexual fantasies about multiple partners...as would be expected given the extreme limits they are surrounded by. You might want to reconsider living around such individuals. One may break at an opportune time.

Yup. And I say that as an older (ish!) female that has probably had more sexual "experience" than other women, and men for that matter, my age or even younger. It just does not flip my switch, nor does it for any of the other gals I hang with.

I've studied this extensively.


First off, despite what Hollywood and the porn industry tell you, women are NOT like men. Particularly, sexuality-wise. They are not the sex fiends Larry Flynt depicted them as. That was done to sell porn to men. He had a business to run. He knew who to aim it at. Believe me, it wasn't aimed at women.


What "turns women on" has nothing to do with the "here this minute, gone the next" orgasm that guys experience, or how (mentally) it gets there. Some slight anatomic/physiologic similarities exist, but, in reality, not achievable in many, but usually not the "wave of passion" men experience unless the social part precedes the physical. Simply put, for most women, the orgasm doesn't originate in the vergina, or even the clitoris. It's far more mental.


With regard to the OP's question, women are facultative in their choice of a partner. Unlike men, they must be treated right - physically and socially before they can experience the equivalent of what a man experiences even on the hoof. Under some circumstances, it's important to note, gender of that partner is not necessarily that important to women, unlike men who are usually 100% one or the other. "Attractants" are completely different between the two sexes.


If a woman has had poor experiences with men (often takes quite a bit of abuse in today's society) they may inadvertantly befriend another woman, and wind up sleeping with her. It happens a lot. Like men, though, they don't talk about it. They are not going to share their lezzie experiences at the bar - not even with their female drinking buddies any more than a guy would relate getting off by some guy last week in the showers at the gym.


Importantly, they can go back & forth from women to men, over years, depending upon their experiences. Men don't. It's usually one preferred gender or the other, right from the get go. Usually never changes.


Maybe women today are sleeping with other women more than they used to (I doubt that). Maybe more are admitting it. Hard to say. Too many variables. But I can tell you, it's nothing new.

Well I personally don't subscribe to labeling myself as anything. Maybe I'm straight but not narrow, eh?
