I think this is something we should keep in my mind when discussing topics like n count or sexual experience. Too often we frame these conversation in an exclusively heterosexual context and assume people are only having sex with the same sex. Well as it turns out, a large number of people (especially in the younger generation) who identify exclusively as heterosexual have reported having had a sexual encounter with someone of the same sex. So this is not only something people who identify as gay/bisexual have done.

Research has found that a large number of people have had same-sex experiences, but still identify as heterosexual.

The Archives of Sexual Behavior found that almost one in eight men and one in four women have had sexual encounters with partners of their own gender, but do not identify as gay or bisexual.

The results come after research was conducted on over 24,000 undergraduate students. The co-author of the study, Arielle Kuperberg, Ph.D., director of Undergraduate Studies in Sociology at The University of North Carolina, made it clear to Metro UK that having sexual experiences does not alter your sexuality.

Now that we know this, does this change anything at all in your mind when it comes to a lot of the sexual topics discussed on here in regards to the younger generation especially?
