< http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories....y-study >QUOTE So imagine the surprise and confusion when subsequent revisits to the same research subjects found more than 70 percent of the self-reported adolescent nonheterosexuals had somehow gone “straight” as older teens and young adults. “We should have known something was amiss,” says Savin-Williams. “One clue was that most of the kids who first claimed to have artificial limbs (in the physical-health assessment) miraculously regrew arms and legs when researchers came back to interview them.” I swear to God this is not the Onion.

Most likely the problem is that the questions were way too broad. A lot of people are primarily heterosexual but have a couple of people of the same sex they've found ... interesting. Not enough to want to "switch teams" as it were, but enough that by the questions listed they'd suddenly be considered bisexual and inflate the numbers.Sexuality is sometimes fluid. People are attracted to people, and usually they're of one particular type but not always. Sometimes they are surprised themselves by who suddenly caught their eye.

< Sometimes it's an OS >.But seriously, I guess I should be grateful they even took the trouble to go verify their results. QUOTE “I can take a joke as well as the next academic,” says the Cornell professor, a licensed clinical psychologist, author and director of the university’s Sex and Gender Lab who has spent a lifetime studying adolescent development. That'd be "not at all" then, would it? Posted by thibodeaux on Jan. 25 2014,12:14
