Have you ever heard of female celebrities sharing in interviews that they have had or are currently in a same sex relationship but can be totally into guys too? This is not a trend because according to a new study, women are flexible when it comes to their sexuality that is why they tend to be more bisexual than men.

The Telegraph UK writes that according to a research conducted at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, women have a more fluid-approach when it comes to building romantic relationships than men, who are either 100 percent heterosexual or homosexual.

Dr. Elizabeth McClintock, lead study author and assistant professor of sociology, explained that if women have favorable options with the opposite sex then they might not experiment in building a romantic relationship with a same gender partner. This indicates that romantic opportunities greatly affect and influence women's sexuality.

The study have observed more than 5000 women and 4000 men as they developed from puberty to young adulthood, mostly questioning and reviewing their sexual preference, Business Standard reports. The results have revealed that successful, physically attractive women who have avoided young motherhood are less likely to try same-sex relationships and are more possibly 100 percent heterosexual.

This is not the same case with men, who are less likely to get attracted to both sexes. The research has identified that the male sexuality is less fluid and tend to stick to their sexual preference all throughout their life, regardless of their education, current situation and physical features or aspects.

This study becomes apparent as more celebrities are openly talking about their sexuality, The Daily Mail UK adds. Supermodel Cara Delevigne, for example, insists that her bisexuality is not a phase while Angelina Jolie and Amber Heard admit to having same-sex relationships before settling down with Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, respectively.

However, the study has angered netizens on social media, of which many do not find any purpose for the study, The Independent states.

Experts like Dr. Qazi Rahman of King's College London said that the study might spark debate as it is relatively new and controversial. The results will be awaiting peer review after being presented at the American Sociological Association meeting in Chicago.
