从历史上看，性一直被认为是人类基本的、由生物学决定的特征。最近，对人权的更好保护和对非传统关系的承认已经导致人们对同性恋、变性人和双性恋者的接受。尽管如此，在充分理解人类性行为的复杂性方面进展甚微，而且最近的研究发现，性行为毕竟可能不是固定的。相反，它似乎更加多变和流动。对性流动性的综合回顾提出了四个讨论主题：性作为一个连续体、女性的性流动性、性能动性和男性异性/同性恋二元性。有几个问题需要更多的研究来理解整个生命周期的性流动性，并制定计划来帮助个人理解和接受这一特征。此外，需要进行宣传，以确保在社会和经济方面不受歧视的平等权利和自由。
Historically, sexuality had been considered a fundamental, biologically determined characteristic of humans. Lately, better protection of human rights and recognition of non-traditional relationships have been leading to acceptance towards gay, transgendered and bisexual people. Nonetheless, little advancement has been made into fully understanding the intricacies of human sexuality and recent research has found that sexuality may not be fixed after all; instead, it appears to be more variable and fluid. This integrative review on sexual fluidity has drawn four discussed themes: Sexuality as a Continuum, Sexual Fluidity of Women, Sexual Agency and Hetero/Homosexuality Binary of Men. Several questions call for more research into understanding sexual fluidity across the lifespan and the development of initiatives to help individuals to both understand and accept this trait. Furthermore, advocacy is needed to ensure equal rights and freedoms without discrimination, both socially and economically.
