Our society has thankfully become less rigid in its definitions of male, female, gay, straight, husband and wife, due in large part to a rejection of puritanical values. As these definitions evolve to their new normal, we will see many more people experiment with, and, perhaps declare their bisexuality.

I would much rather live on a street with fun gay couples than repressed people, who label everything as sinful.

Ya know. You say a thing and say a thing. Say a thing and say it some more. Have multiple people look at you like you're flipping insane. Try to paint you in all sorts of ways for having said it and then bam.

[An issue with past research in the field, Dr. Lambert said, is that unexamined cultural projections — largely by the white heterosexual men who have dominated the field — resulted in many researchers failing to accurately document what they were seeing.

“We’re missing so many observations of sexual behaviors because the people looking at them thought that it must have been an abnormality, based on a preconceived notion of how the world should work,” Dr. Lambert said.

While cultural ideas can affect our observations of biology, Dr. Kamath said, biology doesn’t necessarily tell us anything clear about culture. The team was careful not to draw explicit links to any aspects of human culture, including L.G.B.T.Q. communities.

“We do not want our work to be leveraged in harmful ways and we’ve done our best to avoid that in the way that we’ve constructed the paper itself,” she said.

Ms. Monk and her colleagues say that explicitly flipping the cultural assumptions — in this case by conducting the study with researchers who self-identify as queer, and bringing in outside disciplines like social science — can yield better research.

“It’s important for us as scientists to recognize that while we’d love to think about what we do as objective, it might be really framed by our culture and context,” Ms. Monk said.

There are still a lot of questions left to be answered, and the team hopes that the study will inspire more research on the prevalence of same-sex behavior across the animal kingdom and its potential costs and benefits. When it comes to opening up new avenues of research, Ms. Monk said, sometimes it’s as simple as looking at a place where people are asking “why,” and instead asking “why not?”]

This is why i rather enjoy science.

We have yes but as we can see with how people determine their sexuality on this site specifically much more work needs to be done.

(As these definitions evolve to their new normal, we will see many more people experiment with, and, perhaps declare their bisexuality.)

Seriously, i don't see people not treating the word as if it were some sort of insult any time soon. Especially not when there's so many people running from the label like it was the literal manifestation of ebola brought to life.

I am not so convinced that it is the "Norm"... But it seems to be a 'Majority' of men... There are so many men online, 10's of 1,000's and I am only talking about few dozen sites I've been on, There are tens of thousands more sites times tens of thousands of men. Even without bots, fakes and duplicates. Reason is ... "It Depends" ... On "Where You Are" ...
Where you are In: Life, Marriage, Career, Geographical location, Type of peer environment at work and neighbors... etc and so on...
Until I moved to Denver I really had no good way of keeping my bi-sexual appetite private.
One of the BIG factors in that list is "Marriage" I am on my 4th marriage, (and now Bi might know why)...
I can't get away from her without lying for more than an hour or 3 and that's about it. I would have enjoyed much more MM contact by now.
I would be at 99% / 01% for the first month at least... So point is; marriage really puts a damper on it for me.

As far as i can tell they were only saying bisexuality is normal in nature. With animals and only animals. Not that it's normal with human beings in general. Though i'll say it is. Don't get me wrong though. That's by no means saying all human beings are bisexual. Normal doesn't always mean often.
