Miscellaneous | Changing Sexuality 1/1

Nothing new and earth shattering, but a good article to stimulate thought about our own personal sexuality and experience.

The author, Jana Byars, has a PhD in history from Penn State – a good school. That makes it more credible to me than if it was written by a pyschologist! She gives a pretty good account of the “phases” of sexual activity through middle age. Starting with an adventurous and experimental early stage and then a “settling” down once partnered. Statistically, this may be true for most, but for some sex just keeps getting better and better – and the need/desire doesn’t wane into middle age. The functionality, however, doesn't always keep up with the libido.😢

According to the article same sex experimentation occurs mostly in the young – college students who have more opportunity, then subsides after partnering. We have several topics here that purport some become more willing to experiment with bisexual encounters as they get older. In another thread, it was proposed that we are all bisexual – but societal norms, religion etc. have shaped us into thinking that is wrong and steering us toward hetero only.
