Is everyone bisexual?

[JamesHunt]

“According to Freud everyone is born bisexual. Is he right?” asks tonight’s Richard Bacon phone-in show on Radio 5.

They say, “Is everyone at least a bit bisexual? Are we all on a spectrum. Is bisexuality the natural way we are? Is it our upbringing and society that shapes to go one way or the other. Or are most simply born straight or gay – and a tiny minority born bisexual?”

“We’re bi-curious to know what you think.”

“According to Freud everyone is born bisexual. Is he right?”

I think blanket statements about "everyone" are incorrect.

Freud was an arrogant ass. But then again, isn't "everyone" with an opinion?

I think damn near everything Freud put forward has been de-bunked. He may have started psychology as science, but all his theories are pretty much disregarded these days. Jus' sayin'.

Not everything, but a lot of it.

The problem was he was wrong on some big things and this discredited him as a source and folks started to say that anything he did was crap without actually testing it. Now that they are testing more of it, they are finding a good number of things, while said in questionable ways, was essentially correct.

On topic, I have not seen testing on this topic that did not involve just looking at pictures and using a questionable set of devices for testing blood flow. I have read about a brain scan test, but it was still essentially a picture test which doesn't allow for being attracted to personalities, but was still more hopeful that the blood flow to the genitals tests.

we covered freud in school, i mean, he has some good points like the ego, superego and the id... but he oversimplifies things too much i think...as far as everyone being bisexual, that's just not true...i think it depends on person

You ought to change your name to Kelly Freud.

Just a thought...

I'd say that around 60-70% of people would be open to bisexual behavior in a society that didn't judge. Just look at all of the musicians who experimented in the past when it wasn't taboo or career killing. I think I recall hearing a story about Mick Jagger's wife catching him in bed with David Bowie. If two musicians did that in today's society there mainstream career would be over.

Well i'm bi, but I dont think most men are though. With women it seems more common. It was probably part of female bonding rituals in our distant evolutionary past.
