这项研究调查了199名(124名女性，75名男性)18-26岁的美国性少数民族青年在景点和性认同中的性流动性以及与性取向维度和性认同发展的关系。参与者完成了一份在线问卷，衡量了吸引力和性认同、性取向维度(性认同、吸引力、性行为)和性认同发展方面的性流动性。报告称，有52%的女性和52%的男性报告了景点的性流动性，其中49%的女性和36%的男性报告了基于体验景点变化的性认同的流动性，没有显著的性别差异。性流动的女性使用了一系列的性身份，而大多数性流动的男性认为完全是同性恋/同性恋。性流畅的人比非性流畅的人更有可能在过去与两性发生性行为。景点中的性流动性与性别认同发育里程碑的时间无关；然而，女性达到某些里程碑的年龄晚于男性。这项研究的发现揭示了女性和男性在性流动性和性认同发展方面的复杂性。
This research investigated sexual fluidity in attractions and sexual identity and associations with sexual orientation dimensions and sexual identity development in 199 (124 female, 75 male) US sexual minority young adults, ages 18-26 years. Participants completed an online questionnaire measuring sexual fluidity in attractions and sexual identity, sexual orientation dimensions (sexual identity, attractions, sexual behaviour) and sexual identity development. Sexual fluidity in attractions was reported by 64%of women and 52% of men, with 49% of those women and 36% of those men reporting sexual fluidity in sexual identity based on experiencing changes in attractions, with no significant gender differences. Sexually fluid women used a range of sexual identities, whereas most sexually fluid men identified as completely homosexual/gay. Sexually fluid people were more likely than non-sexually-fluid people to have engaged in past sexual behaviours with both genders. Sexual fluidity in attractions was not related to the timing of sexual identity developmental milestones; however, women reached some milestones at a later age than men. Findings from this research shed light on the complexities of sexual fluidity and sexual identity development in both women and men.
