YourTango • • health
Key Points:
- Research indicates women are more likely than men to leave their husbands for other women due to greater sexual fluidity, meaning they may change their sexual preferences over time.
- Psychologist Lisa Diamond's studies show women often shift their sexual orientation identity based on circumstances, unlike men who tend to maintain a consistent sexual identity.
- Sexual fluidity in women is not necessarily linked to higher rates of infidelity, but it can contribute to relationship complexities and divorces when combined with other issues.
- Biological factors such as hormonal changes and increased testosterone levels in women during their 30s and 40s may influence sexual fluidity, alongside social acceptance of female same-sex relationships.
- Social stigma around male same-sex relationships is believed to suppress similar fluidity in men, making women's fluidity appear more prevalent due to fewer social consequences.
