Let’s talk about this: Study Shows That Gay Sex Has Doubled In Frequency Since The 1990s. What would be your original hypothisis on this statement?????
The DailyMail is reporting that gay sex is trending higher and higher in 2016…
Less than one year since gay marriage was legalised across the whole of the US, a new study reflects our rapidly-changing attitudes towards sexuality.
It found the percentage of adults having gay sex has doubled since the 1990s, perhaps because Americans are not dampening their own desires to conform to societal pressures.
The study also revealed that acceptance of same-sex sexuality has quadrupled, suggesting the cultural change of the last few decades goes beyond tolerance.
Researchers from San Diego State University, Florida Atlantic University and Widener University in Pennsylvania, analysed data from the General Social Survey – a nationally representative survey of more than 30,000 adults that has asked Americans about their attitudes toward same-sex sexual behaviour since 1973 and about sexual partners since 1989.
They found that between 1990 and 2014, the percentage of men who reported having had sex with at least one man increased from 4.5 per cent to 8.2 per cent.
In the same time-frame, the number of women reporting having had sex with at least one woman increased from 3.6 per cent to 8.7 per cent.
The percentage of 33,728 adult participants reporting having had sex with both men and women rose from 3.1 per cent to 7.7 per cent.
The increases in same-sex experiences were largest among whites and in the South and Midwest.
Among Millennials – adults between the ages of 18 and 29 during the 2010s – 7.5 per cent of men and 12.2 per cent of women reported having had a same-sex experience.
The experts said that while lesbian experiences are more likely to occur when women are young, youth doesn’t seem to be a factor for encounters between men.
