This passage comes from bisexual playground.
A study by the mailman school of public health at Columbia University looked at the reasons why bisexual men refuse to cheat. The results show that bisexual men want to avoid the stigma and homosexual panic that can lead to strong negative emotional responses and romantic relationships. The study was published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
The researchers explored the behavior of bisexual men in large sample groups, and did not, often, never plan to confess their sexual orientation to their friends, family, and girlfriends/wives. The researchers interviewed 203 men from New York City who did not disclose their homosexual behavior to their female partners. To ensure the study was reasonable, participants were satisfied: 18 years old, self-identified as bisexuals, and had sex with both men and women over the past year. Participants were recruited through the Internet, advertising and recommendations.
Mailman school of public health, social medical science, associate professor Eric w. Schrimshaw, says Dr The results clearly show that need to popularize to the public common sense about the bisexual men – they are not gay, not people with HIV, and to follow the monogamy.
In addition, the negative reaction of prospective female partners indicates that certain measures need to be taken to help bisexual men to be honest with each other, while minimizing negative reactions and trying to maintain relationships.
Bisexual men choose silence because of shame causes include: expectations of negative emotional reactions and expectations, to change the negative relationship with family members, friends, partners attitude toward homosexuality disgrace concept, as well as the previous negative experiences about sexual orientation and so on.
The reasons for the participants’ report did not include heterosexual self-identity, self-identity uncertainty, or other self-identification reasons.
According to Schrimshaw, bisexual men often use silence to avoid humiliating reactions from social circles, such as ridicule, exclusion and injury.
The strangest reason to keep silent is that all men view their friends, family and female partners’ religious or cultural backgrounds as public barriers because they think it leads to rejection.
Theories about gay men’s public orientation are contradictory.
Martin j. from public health solutions, Downing said while research has suggested that sexual orientation is a part of self identity development, will be at the individual self-identity to sex more confident and more occurs after the self-acceptance, but this is not the study found.
The researchers said they found that bisexual men were more likely than gay men to respond to stigma.
However, researchers put forward since the study will not gay men as the research object, so whether gay men perceive less stigma (and thus more willing to open), or both perception, it is not clear.
Downing said the study was important for understanding the potential cause-and-effect relationship between gay and bisexual men’s shame and openness.
Schrimshaw’s previous research has shown that one of the consequences of sexual orientation for bisexual men is depression.
So the current study provides a new perspective on the mechanisms that lead to depression, says Schrimshaw.
