>From my set of women friends, a "bi" percentage of ~50% is far too high (even counting "to varying degrees"), and ditto for the men friends. Even 20% is generous; of course, it's also not a question that we typically ask each other, so I could be 'way off. ;} As Dan touched upon in an earlier post, "intimacy" seems often to be confused with "sexuality," which seems to be one of the memes that we as a society inherited from the Puritan world-view. True intimacy, or moments of intimacy, tend to be very intense from an emotional standpoint, and "emotional intensity = sexual attraction" seems to be another equation that we often use, rightly or wrongly. As young women, most of us are taught to "be careful of sending the wrong signal to a young man," and this leads to certain inhibitions in interactions with men, but not with women. I think a large part of the whole 'college lesbian experimentation' is an outgrowth of this situation: intimacy is experienced/practiced with women-friends, and can become confused with sexual attraction. OTOH, it's also a sure-fire way of avoiding pregnancy while being sexually active... Debbi Dang, Now You've Got Me Thinking About Jean-Luc And Tyr And Rupert...(But Not Them Together!)
