Survey shows more and more women experimenting with bisexuality
Survey shows more and more women experimenting with bisexuality

More women -- particularly those in their late teens and 20s -- are experimenting with bisexuality or at least feel more comfortable reporting same-sex encounters, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The survey, released Thursday by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, found that 11.5 percent of women, ages 18 to 44, said they've had at least one sexual experience with another woman in their lifetimes, compared with about 4 percent of women, ages 18 to 59, who said the same in a comparable survey a decade earlier.

For women in their late teens and 20s, the percentage rose to 14 percent in the more recent survey. About 6 percent of men in their teens and 20s said they'd had at least one same-sex encounter.

While those who conducted the survey took measures to protect respondents' privacy, researchers say it's unclear whether the figure for men was lower because they're are more likely to avoid same-sex experiences or whether they're not reporting them.

2. IMHO this is very very bad!!!
Men in America are about to become doubly insecure! Explain to your buddies that your wife left you for another woman. Then explain that the one you got dumped for makes better money too. I can see heads exploding now! :rofl:


IT'S ALL HILLARY'S FAULT!!!!!!! :hide:
