Americans Are Having More Gay Sex: Study<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Bi_flag\"<\/p>\n

The Bisexual Pride Flag<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sorry haters, but America is getting gayer — and more accepting of same-sex<\/a> activities.<\/p>\n

And it looks like the “B” in LGBTQ has played a major role in the change, according to data from the General Social Survey, an annual survey of almost 34,000 American adults conducted by the NORC at the University of Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A team of social scientists from three different American universities analyzed the prevalence of men<\/a> who have sex<\/a> with men<\/a> and women<\/a> who have sex<\/a> with women<\/a>, as well as the acceptance of such behavior nationally, from 1972 to 2014. The change they noticed was dramatic: the percentage of adults who believed that same-sex<\/a> activity was “not wrong at all” went from 11 percent in 1973, to 13 percent in 1990. By 2014, that number had jumped to 49 percent.<\/p>\n

According to the study, called Changes in American Adults’ Reported Same-Sex Sexual Experiences and Attitudes, 1973–2014<\/em> and published Wednesday in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior<\/a>, “the number of U.S. adults who had at least one same-sex<\/a> partner since age 18 doubled between the early 1990s and early 2010s (from 3.6 to 8.7 % for women<\/a> and from 4.5 to 8.2 % for men<\/a>). Bisexual behavior (having sex<\/a> with both male<\/a> and female<\/a> partners) increased from 3.1 to 7.7 %, accounting for much of the rise, with little consistent change in those having sex<\/a> exclusively with same-sex<\/a> partners.”<\/p>\n

\"kissesforkim\"The Washington Post <\/a><\/em>reports:<\/p>\n

“Millennials are markedly more accepting of same-sex<\/a> behavior than Gen Xers were at the same age — but then, so are most adults,” co-author Ryne Sherman<\/a> of Florida Atlantic University said in a statement. “The change is primarily one of time period, where all adults shifted in their attitudes.”<\/a><\/p>\n

That increase in tolerance likely helped drive an increase in sexual behaviors (and willingness to report them). The percentage of men<\/a> who have had sex<\/a> with at least one man<\/a> increased from 4.5 percent to 8.2 percent between 1990 and 2014. Women reporting at least one female<\/a> sexual partner increased from 3.6 percent to 8.7 percent of the population during the same period. But Twenge and her colleagues say that bisexual<\/a> behavior drove this change: The percentage of survey respondents who had all same-sex<\/a> partners didn’t increase significantly during that time, but the percentage of adults with both male<\/a> and female<\/a> partners increased from 3.1 percent to 7.7 percent.<\/p>\n

<\/i>“That’s what I found surprising,” Twenge told The Post. “When we looked more closely at the change, it was mostly due to people having sex<\/a> with partners of both genders.”<\/p>\n
