Bisexuality Credited as a Real Sexual Orientation

USA Today felt compelled to release a story today on women and bisexuality, saying that it is not just a phase that young women go through.

Being bisexual is a distinct orientation, not a temporary stage, says the study by Lisa Diamond, an associate professor of psychology and gender studies at the University of Utah. It is being published next week in the January issue of Developmental Psychology, a journal of the American Psychological Association.

Well isn’t that shocking!

As a 21 year old bisexual woman myself, I knew that bisexuality wasn’t a phase. However, as young women start exploring their sexuality at younger ages and straight men continue to support the “girl-on-girl action is hot” stance, I suppose it is easy for the media and society to come to this conclusion. However, bisexuality–and not in the “I’m a girl and I kissed my best friend so that makes me bisexual” sense, is not a phase, it is as real as being straight; and now the University of Utah can back up that statement!

Volunteers from other universities to conduct the “Bisexual Men Exist” study?

Sex-Positivity

I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.

So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.

What I'm Reading

Out Campaign

The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
