Brazil: survey indicates 45% of heterosexuals have thought about having a gay relationship
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – A survey conducted by Gleeden, an extramarital dating app, revealed that 45% of heterosexuals have thought about having a gay relationship. According to the survey, 20% of people who declare themselves straight said they had already had sex with someone of the same sex, but only 18% bet on a homosexual relationship.
Although the numbers are significant, only 10% of people registered in the application declare themselves bisexual and 1% homosexual. The data also showed that 70% of the survey participants believe that all people could be bisexual. For them, what prevents this is moral, cultural, and religious conditions.
“There are several reasons for the upward trend in bisexuality. One is due to identifying one’s own sexuality, and another is due to curiosity and the need for experiences of more diverse sexes,” says Laia Cadens, a clinical psychologist specializing in sexology and counselor at Gleeden. She points out that 96% of the users who participated in the study agree with bisexuality and do not condemn it.
The sample also highlights that women usually tend more towards the side of bisexuality than men. Laia explains that “women, many out of dissatisfaction or boredom, have seen new opportunities open up and satisfy their sexual needs.”
In addition, she points out that many men go through bisexuality when they are in doubt about their sexual orientation. “Many of them claim that the idea of having sex with men is in their head, and they fantasize about it, but from thinking to execution, there is a process.”
