Are you 'flexisexual'?
Are you 'flexisexual'?
It all started when Madonna kissed Britney Spears on stage, followed by Katy Perry who sang a song about a girl she kissed – and now it seems the 'flexisexuality' trend is fast catching up.
The new word has been coined for the growing number of straight women who flirt with bisexuality. It refers to people who have a sexual preference but refuse to be bound by it.
"Women are often more open to these experiences when they reach their 40s and are more confident with their sexuality. If an opportunity presents itself they may think "why not", particularly if they have come out of a long relationship," the Daily Mail quoted Psychologist Dr Cecelia D'Felice as saying.
Twice-married Barrymore, who has admitted having flings with women, has been quoted as saying, "Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else."
Actress Lindsay Lohan, 24, is among younger flexisexuals who see it as 'on trend'.

14. I think that's very common, actually.
I'm of the mind that sexual orientation is a continuum, and while most lean one way or the other, I think it's normal for situations to arise that bring about new experiences. Provided we haven't limited ourselves with preconceived notions, of course.
For some reason, his/her/its screen name reminds me of the pervs on crowded subways who take advantage of the situation to cop an anonymous feel.

24. Reminds me of the 70s, when being bisexual was very au courant
I do like the more modern term "heteroflexible." though. I have this thing that "real" bisexuals can be in love with someone of either gender. "Heteroflexible" is more accurate in describing people who typically are in love only with the opposite gender, but are willing to be open-minded given the right circumstances.
"Heteroflexible." Another one.

17. I'm trisexual. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it.
Okay, that one made me laugh.

21. No, I don't think this is what is meant at all
As someone who can identify, allow me to attempt to explain--at least from my own perspective. I am someone who considers herself "mostly straight". I am hetero, for me sexual pleasure (from another person) is all about the penis. I have been with other women, but it is not sexually gratifying to me (I love the penis). Yet I love women and often have serious girl crushes. I love the attention of women--they just lack the freaking penis. I sometimes would make out with a woman or have sex with a woman, but I really don't consider myself bi because gratification from another person for me is about the penis.
Whatever, don't fence me in.
So you're saying you like the penis? I just wanted to clear that up.
