Diotrephes I wonder how many people have a series of different relationships over a lifetime. Some with a different gender. How many later in life experience a sexual event with the same sex. Especially among those that fall into the bi range. It would be interesting to read a study.
While a younger person maybe more confused by some attraction to both sexes, men especially feel the need to reject those desires during mid life. Then from what I have read, often later in life is once again willing to explore.
Plenty of variables. No two lives are exactly the same. Plus the under 30 are less likely to feel the stigma of same sex experiences. Maybe see sex as an activity they can enjoy with a variety of people without it defining them as straight or gay.
Some that lose a spouse by divorce or death may share living arrangements with someone of the same gender. May or may not include a sexual element. But may include the needed support during illness or life’s negative times.
