Sexual Fluidity in Male and Females

People's sexual attractions, behaviors, and identities can shift over time.

“a growing body of literature reveals that sexual behavior, attractions, and identity do change over time (Diamond, 2016;Katz-Wise & Todd, 2022).”

Most longitudinal work suggests that those with plurisexual identities show the most sexual fluidity.

“most longitudinal work suggests that those with plurisexual identities show the most fluidity (see Diamond, 2008aDiamond, , 2016)), although these samples are small and mostly comprised of women.”

Plurisexual participants were the most likely to show fluidity in all directions, potentially supporting the idea that plurisexual identities can be open to change and may shift in response to different relationships or experiences.

“Consistent with past work (e.g., Savin-Williams et al., 2012), however, plurisexual participants were the most likely to show fluidity in all directions, potentially supporting the idea that plurisexual identities can be open to change and may shift in response to different relationships or experiences (Blumstein & Schwartz, 1977;Diamond, 2016;Ross et al., 2012;Weinberg et al., 1995).”

Plurisexuality may represent an inherently fluid identity for some people.

“This underscores the possibility that plurisexuality may represent an inherently fluid identity for some (Diamond, 2016;Ross et al., 2012;Weinberg et al., 1995)”
