Bisexual behavior genetically tied to risk-taking, controversial DNA analysis finds

Politically and ethically fraught, research into what leads to bisexual behavior or exclusive homosexuality typically sparks controversy. The latest study, published today in Science Advances, is no exception. By mining a DNA database of some 450,000 people in the United Kingdom, a research team has concluded that the genes underlying bisexual behavior are distinct from those driving exclusive same-sex behavior, and may be intertwined with a propensity for taking risks. This connection to risk-taking, the authors suggest, may also explain why men with a history of bisexual behavior still have a reasonably high number of offspring, albeit fewer than heterosexual men, possibly explaining why the genes driving such sexual behavior have persisted.

Nothing better than being balls deep in some tight pussy while another guy is balls deep in my tight ass!

R4 seriously? How do you navigate those situations? The guys I imagine are easier to get onboard but how do you convince the women. They’re notoriously homophobic towards Bi guys.

by Anonymousreply 5March 21, 2024 12:19 AM

People have to accept that majority of bisexual guys are like "straight guys with expanded sexuality".

You can enjoy giving and getting head from guys

You can enjoy fucking and being fucked by guys

You can fantasize about gay sex and gay porn

And still have NO DESIRE to date or have any feelings towards guys.

The hypothesis that male bisexuality persisted among apes (including humans) because you fuck more holes and there is higher chance that you impregnate some female than if you were caring only about fucking female holes is old as fuck and well documented among bonobos, Gorillas, macaques etc.

R5 a lot of women don't care as long as guy is hot and has good hygiene. Gay porn is 4th most viewed category.

R8, not true. Bi guys have to be "discreet" and on the down low. They are the most duplicitous people out there.

Depends on which bi men [R10]. Gay-leaning and equal bisexuals are often out and not on DL. It's mostly straight-leaning bis "straight" guys who are on DL. Its just that they overwhelm gays and out bis so its seems like nearly all bis are like that.

Bisexual men are on average more masculine and hotter than gay men. This is the reason why gays are still giving them second thought even after shitting on them and denying their lust for cock.

The “straight” guys who actually CAN be had are the ones who come in for the most abuse. Doesn’t make sense.

So hooking up with Married bi guys, to be successful you have to follow the rules and play the game. I have 4 long term FBs who are bi and married.

1. They make contact when they are ready. You should not make frequent contact with them under the guise of " haven't heard from you in a while" etc.

2. As time goes on and and you have built trust with them they may reveal some aspects about their personal life regarding the family work etc. Don't assume this a true friendship.

3. Some bi guys will "take a break" from cock for awhile, respect that. 95% of the time they will re-engage with you within 60 days.

4. Be up front about your sexual health. Offer to share your test results. I have 2 bi-FBs that have their prep Rx sent to my address so the wife does not find out.

5. If you happen to run into your FB in public , best advice is no acknowledgement. If he is comfortable engaging he will initiate conversation.

6. The biggest fear is exposure. Don't brag about your encounters to anyone do not give details no matter how hot he is.

I'm attracted to trans- guys. The ones who resemble guys but have a vagina.

Does that make me bisexual or no I'm still just a gay guy?

by Anonymousreply 21April 24, 2024 12:51 PM

R20 are those bi guys hotter/more masc than your average gay hookup? Are they straight-leaning? Or opposite.

by Anonymousreply 22April 24, 2024 1:02 PM

So risk-taking genes affect whether or not guys who were born bi ever act on their secret urges in a homophobic society? No shit…..

Interesting research, thanks for that OP. The genetics of behaviour is an extremely fascinating and underresearched field

R26, along those lines, I've been told it's not even sex since no birth control is needed. All just elaborate mutual masturbation, men understanding men's needs. I wondered if that's what he told his wife.

But for something that was supposedly nothing more than a physical friendship, emotionally he took it hard when I broke it off in favor of a real gay man.

Gross biological determinism, bisexuality is an identity, is a neurological condition NOT A BEHAVIOR.

Risk taking like no condoms? Or a BB orgy? Or sex in pickle,park at 11 am just outside the baseball fields? Or sex at the gloryhole at Sears at the Mall?

I wonder what risk taking they are referring to.

by Anonymousreply 34May 2, 2024 10:39 AM

People here really think that bi men take high risk sex with men only. Maybe its a wishful thinking that those men are really gay. Bi men are straight and gay at the same time- a lot of them will happily bang some pussy in club toilet or in a back of a car or wherever. Its not just dick.

“will happily”

R35

True they might fuck a tree if the knot hole feels good. But finding trees and women to fuck is not as easy as it sounds. Men who provide a service on the other hand are quite easy and plentiful.

There are of course many men who will cruise virtually daily for female street walkers. $20 bj in the car. But one difference is that virtually everyone of those hookers will demand condoms before giving oral.
