Re:Interesting Timing--Link to Story

Two threads below deal with either desired or filmed girl-girl sex.  AP reports a study by CDC that an increasing number of young women are trying sex with another woman.  Up to 14 percent of women in their late teens and 20s.  Amongst college women there's apparently a new acronym--LUG or Lesbian Until Graduation.  Great, women are becoming more bisexual, multisexual, whatever.  I'd settle for anysexual right now.

First, "LUG"s...these women are primarily with other women in the same age range of late teens to early twenties, other ladies in college. They are not going out and finding older women and dating them, so the chances that if they were to be with men, that they would look to men outside of the 18-22 range is unlikely.
Now I don't know, you might be 18-22 years old, and in college, so this may effect you, but if you're not, I don't think it's messing with your odds too much.

Now, you can also look at the "Sexual Behavior and Selected Health Measures: Men and Women 15-44 Years of Age, United States, 2002" which has such interesting atatistics as:

*Four percent of females had a sexual experience with another female in the last 12 months

*The proportion who had same-sex contact in their lifetimes 11 percent for females.

*In response to a question that asked, “Do you think of yourself as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or something else?” 90 percent of men 18-44 years of age responded that they think of themselves as heterosexual, 2.3 percent of men answered homosexual, 1.8 percent bisexual, 3.9 percent “something else,” and 1.8 percent did not answer the question. Percents for women were similar. These findings are similar to data collected in 1992 by Laumann et al.

*Among women, 86 percent said they were attracted only to males, and 10 percent, “mostly” to males.

So, that leaves in the entire population of women ages 15-44, 4% that prefer, or are mostly attracted to women.

I still gotta go with the odds being on your side, couple that with what I have heard many women say, and has even been said by women recetly on this board, that they give more leeway to men when it comes to appearance, and look to other qualities, and that gives men an adavtage even amongst bi-sexual women.  

Though I guess, if you feel bad about that 4%, or want to try and tap into that small minority, you're allowed, and I suppose you can always try to "turn" them.  :)
