Bisexuality does not exist ... er


A group of U.S. and Canadian psychologists have developed reactions to a hundred volunteers. "Either they are heterosexual or homosexual," they said. But experts rightly complain: "Sample too small and because the reactions were analyzed only mechanical erection.
Who is proclaimed bisexual is a liar: it supports a group of psychologists in Chicago, Illinois, and Toronto, Canada, that bisexuality, much-trumpeted by experts as the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud and Alfred Kinsey that of modern sexology, buffaloes are colossal.
Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago and the Center for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto are based on reactions of a hundred male volunteers, which were studied during the screenings erections porn movies is 'straight' (heterosexual) is 'gay'.
Based on the results obtained, the vast majority of self-proclaimed bisexual appeared in fact homosexual, while only 15 per cent is heterosexual. The research, intended to raise a fuss, does not convince many experts, as noted by the New York Times devoting ample space to the story, having focused exclusively on mechanical and not sentimental.
How did it go? Psychologists in Chicago and Toronto were recruited through advertisements in gay magazines around 101 men, of whom one third (33) have proclaimed bisexual, 30 heterosexual and 38 homosexual.
A sample according to several experts is far too limited to draw definitive conclusions, like those of North American researchers, which will now be published on 'Psychological Science'.
At 101 'guinea pigs', equipped with special sensors to measure the erection porno movies were screened with both men and with women protagonists. As expected, those who have proclaimed heterosexual reacted positively to the movies with female protagonists, and the same happened to the movies with homosexual men. For proclaimed bisexual, the reactions were not of double excitation, ie both with the images of men and women in action. Three quarters of them reacted as gay, the rest as heterosexuals. Psychologists in Chicago and Toronto have no doubt that teachers like Freud-that everyone is really bisexual-and-Kinsey the first to publish a report in the 40 behaviors sexual-Americans have resoundingly wrong. Kinsey, in particular, was identified in the famous report that bears his name-many married men outside the couple's life had regular homosexual relationships. "Males do not represent two separate populations, heterosexual and homosexual - he wrote, inter alia, the famous researcher -. The world must not be divided into sheep and goats." One of the writers of the report of the Chicago and Toronto, Michael Bailey said instead: "I am not denying that bisexual behavior exists, but I think there is no indication that true bisexuality exists in men."
a position that does not convince many researchers in the field, because the study of two universities in North America is purely mechanical and does not take into account factors such as erotic feelings or affections
