Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Bisexual women are more likely to report experiencing male-perpetrated, "non-voluntary" or "forced" vaginal intercourse in their lifetime than heterosexual women, according to survey findings released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Among respondents, 36% of bisexual women reported instances of non-voluntary or forced sex, compared with just under 18% of heterosexual women and 18% of women who identified as lesbian or gay, the data showed.
Nearly 19% of the more than 14,000 women surveyed indicated they experienced non-voluntary or forced sex at some point, the researchers said.
"Understanding harmful attitudes toward bisexual women in relation to sexual victimization and perpetration might help explain this higher prevalence ratio for bisexual women," the CDC researchers wrote. RELATED Two-thirds of romantic couples started as friends, study finds
"These findings underscore the need for comprehensive prevention approaches tailored for sexual minority women," they said.
For this study, the CDC researchers used data from the National Survey of Family Growth, which interviewed women between 2011 and 2017.
The researchers defined "non-voluntary sex" as instances in which a woman indicated that they did not choose to have first vaginal intercourse "of [their] own free will." Sex was considered "forced" when a woman was "forced by a male to have vaginal intercourse against your will." RELATED More U.S. teens identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual, study says
Women who said they were unsure of their sexual attraction were nearly four times more likely than those only attracted to the opposite sex to report non-voluntary first vaginal intercourse, the data showed.
Those who identified as lesbian or bisexual and women who reported attraction to the same sex only were more likely to have endured non-voluntary first vaginal intercourse.
In addition, non-heterosexual women were also more likely to have experienced non-voluntary or forced sex at an earlier age, according to the researchers. RELATED Gender-affirming surgeries improve mental health in young, study says
On average, lesbian and bisexual women reported their earliest instance of non-voluntary or forced sex at just under age 13 and just under age 16.
Meanwhile the average earliest age of non-voluntary or forced sex for heterosexual women was age 17, the researchers said.
"Compared with sexual majority, or heterosexual, women, nonvoluntary first vaginal intercourse was more common among sexual minority women, and the first experience of forced sex occurred at younger ages for sexual minority women," the CDC said in a press release.
"Comprehensive approaches to preventing sexual violence and child sexual abuse should be tailored to meet the needs of sexual minority women and ensure intervention effectiveness," they said.
And they have time for this 5hit?
I’m really worried about this data and won’t be able to sleep tonight now
Thanks a lot
>> And they have time for this 5hit?
Thankfully, you have time to post it ;)
Now imagine that unexpected poke during that special bi moment... WTF?!
It’s logical since as Woody Allen said it doubles your chances for a date.
At this point, I think sex is overrated.
This is one of those stories that could go either way?
In other words, mentally ill sluts have faulty memories...aka regret.
“Crazy people see themselves as victims, and wish to blame others for their unhappiness.”
Guess it is more common in their three-somes...
All it proves is that bisexual women are 2X more confused/resentful/regretful compared with normal women.
This appears to be an unusual survey.
Threesomes aren’t so gleesome...
Hmmm, am I male or female? Gosh that’s a hard one.
Hmmm, did I say yes or no? Gosh that’s equally hard.
Time to defund the CDC.
Yeah no kidding. Ever watch a tiger or lion having sex? It lasts like 5 seconds.
So yes, genital sex is mainly for procreation. If you want pleasure, use the biggest organ of the body...your entire skin. If there is a choice, I will take 30 minutes of sensual massage over 5 minutes of genital sex.
You are as male or as female as your mind thinks you are.
Correlation does not prove causality. In this case, I suspect the causal dynamics are the reverse of those being theorized by the advocates who authored this report.
