Why Women Become More Bisexual As They Age?

60 percent of women are attracted to other women. Are you one of them?

Like most women, I have no shame in admitting that I find other females attractive. I have even admitted to being open to bisexual experimentation (“Of course I would sleep with Halle Berry! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”).

For women, it’s perfectly acceptable to be a little bi-curious (cue every male fantasy), and according to research, it’s the norm.

A study reveals that women’s sexual preferences tend to be a gray area (yep, identity confusion wasn’t just for those college dorm days).

In fact, researchers at Boise State University found that in a group of heterosexual women, 60 percent were physically interested in other women, 45 percent made out with a woman in the past, and 50 percent had fantasies about the same sex.

Sometimes when I catch myself staring at a beautiful woman in the grocery store, I wonder about my own sexuality. I’m not supposed to like girls! (At least according to society.)

We girls form deep relationships through friendships, which some say are the basis of love.

And personally I believe that emotional connection and physical attraction are linked — i.e., guys tend to get cuter in our eyes if they’re genuinely nice.

Experts support this view. “Women are encouraged to be emotionally close to each other,” psychology professor Elizabeth Morgan told YouBeauty.com. “That provides an opportunity for intimacy and romantic feelings to develop.”

From talking about personal issues for hours to calling each other “lovers” (well, maybe that’s just women in my generation), women’s friendships are often barely distinguishable from romantic relationships.

When heterosexual women hook up with other women, their relationships is based on an emotional connection. Lisa Diamond from the University of Utah believes that it only takes the right person for convince a woman to enter into a relationship with someone of the same sex. Continue reading here.
