Girls Just Want to Have Fun

In the last post, research on fetlife, had revealed a large number (37%) of the profiles described themselves as somewhere in the middle on the dominance/ submission axis, switches to some extent or another. These data were easily collected because the profiles themselves didn't need to be examined, just the thumbnail to the profiles. This week I want to describe some additional findings I acquired from examination of information contained in the profiles themselves. In the next post I will describe the results in detail, but here I just want to describe the most striking result. In the profiles people list their sexual orientation. The choices come from a pull down menu. One choice is straight, and then there are a number of more or less crooked choices. They include some mild deviations from strict heterosexuality, (heteroflexible, fluctuating / evolving) some clear bisexual choices ( bisexual, pansexual) and some homosexual indications ( gay).

So how many of the guys describe themselves as straight? 69% of our survey respondents did so. That means 31% did not, and only a few of those described themselves as gay, so it is a fairly substantial number of bi or heteroflexible gentlemen, much larger than the proportion that describe themselves that way in the general population, where the reports are in the low single digits.

But how about the girls? Well I hesitate to give the answer lest I be accused of besmirching the reputation of womanhood. Because the way I count it, only 34% of women on fetlife describe themselves as straight! 66% swing some other way, or at least are interested in doing so. Contact the American Family Association, we may have a problem. The Ladies appear to be coming across that ocean of girl on girl porn that the guys so love, and are liking what they see. At any rate, I had no idea. And the transex people, well transsex people who describe themselves as straight are an endangered species coming in at 10%. and I didn't even sample my own profile!!. So what gives? I will provide more info in my next post.
