New Study: People Who Identify As Straight May Be More Fluid Than They Think

A study from Australia’s University of Sydney has found that people who identify as straight may be more fluid than they think, reports LGBTQ Nation.

Published in Nature’s Scientific Reports, the study asked straight-identifying participants to read one of two articles on the concept of sexual fluidity and the way sexual orientation can exist on a spectrum and change throughout one’s life.

Compared to a control group, participants were 28% more likely to identify as non-exclusively heterosexual after reading the first article on how sexuality exists on a spectrum, with 19% saying they were now more likely to engage in sexual activities with someone of the same sex, a press release reported. To put it another way, the number of people identifying as “non-exclusively heterosexual” increased by more than four times after reading the article.
