The study focused on relationships between bisexual men and heterosexual women. A new study has found that bisexual men make better lovers and fathers. The study – conducted by Deakin University – aimed to look into relationships between bisexual men and women on a broader scale and to challenge the biphobic stereotypes often surrounding such relationships. The findings will be outlined in a new book titled ‘Women in Relationships with Bisexual Men – Bi Men By Women’. During the study, researchers interviews a...

This just in: Bisexual men make the best lovers… At least, according to heterosexual women. A new study has found that bi guys are some of the most sexually attentive and emotionally available men out there. The study was led by Dr. Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli at the Deakin School of Health and Social Development in Australia. 78 women, ranging from ages 16 to 65 years, participated in the survey. They all came from a variety of cultural, sexual, and geographical backgrounds, but they each had one thing in common: they had all...

A new study has found that a surprising number of same-sex couples employ traditional gender stereotypes when dividing up household chores. The study, titled “Making Money, Doing Gender, or Being Essentialist? Partner Characteristics and Americans’ Attitudes Toward Housework,” was conducted by Indiana University and surveyed over 1,000 people. Researchers learned that gender stereotypes play a large part in how same-sex couples determine who does what around the house. Respondents were given information about either a heterosexual or same-sex couple, including each person’s occupation and income level, as well as their hobbies and interests. They...

Homophobia is gay, to quote Dan Savage. A study conducted in 1996 found that homophobic men responded favorably downstairs when viewing “male homosexual” “erotic stimuli.” They were shown gay, straight and lesbian “stimuli,” and while both the homophobic and non-homophobic men became aroused during the straight and lesbian material, only the antigay men were aroused during the gay imagery. “Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies,” the abstract of that...

In a research, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior that has been conducted throughout many years, during 1973-2014, the surveys with over 30,000 participants revealed that Americans have more openness to same-sex activities. The study focused on sexual behavior and attitudes towards same-sex activity. The number of men and women who had sex with same-sex partners increased, The General Social Survey shows. In comparison with year 1990, the number of men having sex with men rose from 4,5% to 8.2% in...

There's been debates over where homosexuality resides in, and science seems to prove that it's innate. Another study using genetic material from 47 pairs of twins, where one of them was gay, revealed different DNA structures. "The relative contributions of biology versus culture and experience in shaping sexual orientation in humans continues to be debated," said Margaret M. McCarthy pharmacology professor at University of Maryland."But regardless of when, or even how, these epigenetic changes occur," she added, the new research "demonstrates...

Some studies say that straight men like anal sex with their partners. Either they are using dildos, fingering, strap-on, they somehow want their partner to reach that area. So the study revealed that 30% of straight men had anal sex with their partner, while the other 70% hadn't yet they fantasize about it. No wonder, this recent survey with 9,000 participants, aged 18-44, revealed that 2.3% of them identified themselves as straight men and had same-sex sexual activity. “You do expect some differences,”...

Who could have predicted, right? Well, now it seems like all of everyone’s suspicions are more or less confirmed and researches have finally reached a consensus. Homophobes are actually hidden gay people. However, it seems like not all of them but those who are the most hostile and violent towards gay people. They have found that there is a strong correlation between the radicalism of the homophobic ideas in an individual and his actual homosexual inclinations. The more radical and...

It is a sad fact that a lot of the teenagers get depressive when identifying themselves as gays and more often than not, their suffering is ignored by those around them. Several years ago depression was not even considered a real affection and patients were not able to receive medical treatment. Now we know how it works and how to treat it, but it is still a big issue for a lot of people. Especially when talking about LGBT...

This study comes as a confirmation for other that took place over the years. People have always confronted with homophobia, xenophobia, racism and intolerance or even hate towards minorities and so on. Through the study of the brain, neurobiologists have shown in the past that people can actually empathize with people coming from the group they were intolerant towards provided that they will have positive social interactions with them. This seems to be the key factor that can lead to...

This is still a hot topic nowadays as it was decades ago and researchers may have reached a consensus about this issue. We have published yesterday a study supporting the idea that homosexuality is an evolutionary feature that is essential when it comes to increasing women’s sex appeal and fertility and what the study claimed was that women having the gay gene seem to be a lot more appealing to men. Now the problem that arose was how could gays...

A new study released by YouGov shows that a half of the U.K.’s young people aren’t “totally heterosexual,” and one-third of American adults under 30 feel the same way. The researches were using a modified Kinsey scale to define sexuality by asking guys and girls to place themselves on a range from ‘totally heterosexual’ to ‘totally homosexual.’ The results of the study show that overall 78% of American people say they are totally heterosexual while 4% define themselves as gay....
