  I recon women peak sexually later than men. Team that with an older women feeling more confidence,and perhaps a greater willingness to defy societal convention and follow their urges and maybe you get women changing teams later in life.

  I think that it would be more about maturing, not early repression of sexuality.Personally, when i started having sex at 16, i could not ever imagine having sex with a woman, but now into my late 20's I believe that i am bisexual. To me it makes sense that some women may not fully mature into their sexuality until their 30's.Just as an example, when i was a child I hated eating mushrooms with a passion, but now i love them. I don't think that I had a repressed desire for mushrooms as a child, rather that my tastes have matured with time.Hope that makes some sort of sense...Mrs NTN

  I'm with Sweetiepie. I don't think there's any more likelihood of a woman waking up one morning as a lesbian than there is of me waking up as a gay. I think that the power and control issues that are important to men make them less likely to be bi-inclined and experiment with it, but that's different to "turning lesbian".

  Just had a look at the source journalism mentioned and think maybe it's a bit of a "splash rag". In just a few mintues, I learned about the likelihood of a Doomsday event in 2012, Hef got engaged again to another bunny, a former bunny shot her husband with Polanski's gun and how to get a tan and remove unsightly body hair all in one hit. Oh yeah...and there is snow everywhere and the global markets are not performing too well. | I think we need to remember that about 78.2% of all statistics are made up and the woman cited are in the media quite often. Sex sells (newsflash) and this might make for a good headline or interesting read with the right pictures. Probably the more pictures, the more credible the article...and lots more fun to read.| I think the likelihood of people in general starting to experiment a bit more in their thirties, both male and female...would make for a more interesting read, and agree with the other that it is not likely that you wake up one day at say, 35 and change your sexual orientation permanently. Might just be the time in life when we all get a bit of experience under our belts and push a few boundaries. | That said...if I believed everything I read in the Telegraph this morning...there's a 94.2% chance that in the year 2012 it would be a great idea to duck into a bomb shelther with a few friends, a few stars and starlets...and Nigella Lawson because she is hot and can cook...and come up for air in six months. | I think there's about a 99.9% chance that I would be grinning from ear to ear.

  Quoting 'dazza31' Men treeting woman like shit would have a lot to do with it. I've been treated like shit by women before, but it's never lead me to seek solace in the arms of a man.

  in this thread so far, we've been seeing sexuality as a social phenomenon - a group thing, like a trend or a movement. i'm more with the Kinsey research team who introduced the idea of the 'sexual continuum'. it's the idea that everyone's individual sexuality falls somewhere along this scale... and slides up and down it during the course of their life. i'm not saying that, within this theory, sexuality is completely fluid, but it is mutable within your own individual experience. of course, outside factors would have to be a major force in helping people's sexuality move within this framework - maybe men being bastards causing women to move to lesbianism, as you say. i know more than one sex worker who ended up 'choosing' lesbianism after they were unable to associate hetero sex with anything other than a commercial transaction. and then, of course, there's plenty of very straight-identifying men having some suspiciously gay-looking sex with each other during a stint in jail, only to leave and proclaim themselves as straight as ever once they're released. (let's just stick with consensual examples of this one!) so back to the original question: outside factors such as experimentation and experiences can very much shape, expand and move sexuality around - and i'm going to put it out there that women are generally more likely to experiment and experience new things in bed, particularly in past generations, both to please their lover, and also because female sexuality hasn't had to be set in stone nearly as much as the "don't touch my arse, i'm not some kind of poofter" male sexuality that dogged society for years up till surprisingly recently. we've been less likely to say no - and our sexuality is the more diverse for it. well, that's my story, and i'm sticking with it. :D
