Girls Just Want to Have Fun III







The picture was taken at a music festival this weekend, where there were tons of young people and one very affectionate female couple shown here. There was a mello vibe as these girls passionately kissed, but I couldn't help but feel this young and apparently very heterosexual crowd might have been more perturbed if the lovers were a pair of boys. But I leave that for my next post where I would like to describe the concert experience of one ancient hippy in a sea of the young and the restless.


In some previous posts, I was able to explore some issues near and dear to my heart, through an analysis of randomly sampled Fetlife profiles. I discovered among the participant in fetlife, that a lot of folks described themselves as switches, and a lot of folks describe themselves as bisexual.

>Part 1

Most surprising is while lots of males describe themselves as dominant, and lots of dominant males say that they are straight, Females are more varied in their descriptions. More of the gals describe themselves as bisexual than straight, and this is true even for submissive females.

Part II

Theres weren't enough transgendered people in random samples to really get a picture, so in order to get that picture, I looked at a popular group on fetlife, the genderblender group and sample transgendered people from there where they represent more than half of the thousands of group members. The table is seen below.





























































































































































Most of the trangendered people were XY people, almost 70% as in the fetlife population as a whole. Almost 33% of those call themselves male, rather than one of the TG designations (MtF, genderqueer, etc) but the profile shows that they at least favor dressing girly. (In fact it is harder to tell if a female is transgendered, because these cues are less salient in the data.)





So here is the transgendered male breakdown.






Dominant Switch Submissive
Straight00%11%05%
Bisexual 02%54%25%
Homosexual00%00%02%






So the overwhelming number of transgendered males describe themselves as bisexual (81%).



If the girls just want to have fun, the t-girls just wanna have more fun, and in their D/S preferences most are switches again, but they are more traditional females than the GG's, only 2% exclusively dominant.




The female sample was still small only 27. Ten of them were homosexual and none straight, so There is a signficant group of D/S lesbians on fetlife but D/S gay males are very rare.

The overall picture is pretty clear. The fetlife participants are not very traditional either in their D/S orientation or their sexual orientation. They like to experience the full range. Males and Females both span the D/S spectrum, and females , glorious females!! well they have come a long way baby. What all these numbers seem to indicate to me, I will leave to tomorrow's post when I tell the tale of my concert experience.
