A gender neutral bisexual future?

last year YouGov made a poll that showed half of young Britain is bisexual

This sounds like a blatantly wrong statistic. Got a link to the details of it somewhere?

Are we really classing somebody who was one option below exclusively heterosexual on a self reported 0-6 scale as a "proper" bisexual? e.g if somebody maybe thinks to themselves "egh I guess I might try it with the opposite sex one time just to see what it's like" is it correct to class them as a bisexual person necessarily?

Also not sure if a sample size of roughly 1.5k is entirely representative of the full population. The full PDF provides much more useful data, which, interestingly does not say that half of young people identify as bisexual at all. You've kind of sensationalised what the data's actually showing, which will be why it sounds wrong to anybody that pays attention to people.

I didn't sensationalize anything the media reported it that way. That were exactly the headlines last year when that poll was made public.

And for me personal heterosexual means i have no interested in the same sex, so no matter where you fall on that scale, if you want to try sex with the same gender you in my eyes are not heterosexual.

People label themselves as these hip new non-existent genders/sexualities because it's become fashionable... Further proof of just how sick modern society is. I used to say that with time they'll grow up, however I am starting to believe that these people will never stop deluding themselves. Only through strong culture change will we begin to make a difference. We're starting to see this in the US with the rise of Trump, but given the left is further rooted into European society I fear that such things wont happen over here for a long time.

Thats not what the poll showed.

no the YouGov poll was from last year i was just referring to that poll because more and more polls like this come up if you scroll through the answers here you will find the link to that YouGov poll.

I do believe there are people that go through a 'phase' of bisexuality.. but asexuality? That's a bit far-fetched.

I know which poll you are talking about and that poll made the rounds and if you actually looked at the poll and analysed it, you would realize it did not actually show that most people were bisexual or identified as bisexual.

I'd say, judging by the natural world, we are all bi-sexual to some extent. Sex is, more or less imagination.

You probably could, if you put your brain to it find a blow up bit of plastic attractive or a sheep.

One assumes you could plot a graph as bi-sexual in the middle (the mean) and we're all somewhere near the graph line.

So basically no one is "gay" or "straight" - they are just labels we give to sexual thoughts and actions that are imaginations have so far limited us to - but we all know we could imagine something else if we so wished...

Umm, sorry but that's just blatantly not true.

In the natural world, we are largely heterosexual, at least according to the large population of the planet in every species that has a male and a female.

Now, that's not to say I'm of the "it's natural so it must be right" crowd.

A lot of nature is bad and wrong. The human nature to kill, for instance.

Most animals of most species kill each other.

Natural is not good.

If we were au naturelle we'd be living in caves still and mating would amount largely to being raped (case in point - the ducks I can see outside of my kitchen window right now are not "making love" - there are 3 mallards trying to mount a female).

All of human progress has rested on us not following our natural instincts.

Now, back to the debate.

Am I saying straight is natural?

Nope. There is evidence of a lot of homosexuality amongst species.

But is it rarer? Of course. Natural selection would not allow for high instances of this.

And we know from science that homosexuality isn't hereditary, but it is largely something we're born with, so unless the drinking water is changing, I don't for a second believe that homosexuality is now more common.

What is true is that people are being encouraged to let go of rigid gender and romantic stereotypes, which, can only be a positive thing.

The less men are repressed into these unattractive useless, uncaring, cavemen, beer-swilling "lad" stereotypes the better.

And the less women are repressed into these bimbo, looks and perfection obsessed, self-sacrificing play doll stereotypes the better.

Being 25 I think I might be of the last generation that had to grow up forced into this culture, which is quite sad.

Overall a positive development I'd say.
