I think it's like this. Straight males have a primary sexual and romantic interest in slightly younger females, until their main age of attraction reaches around 20. Then there is a split between romantic and non-romantic sexual attraction. While the man's romantic age of attraction keeps going up, his non-romantic one just stays the same. This may explain girllovers. Straight females don't have this split in attraction. A straight female remains attracted to slightly older males throughout her life, sexually and romantically. Gay people show the patterns of the opposite sex, mostly. A gay male is attracted to males of the same age, throughout his life. However, the gay man is likelier to be into boys then the straight woman, because males just show more variation in most things. A lesbian is attracted to females of the same age, until she reaches around 20, then her attraction splits like a straight man's. Adult lesbians are less likely to be into girls than straight men are. Excluding normal sexuality (some amount of minor-attraction is normal, despite the stigma), MAPs are most likely to be male girllovers, then male boylovers, then female girllovers, and finally female boylovers. If including normal sexuality though, it's likely that female girllovers are more common than male boylovers. Most adult lesbians have some girl-attraction, just like most straight men. Like, with the peak age of attraction being around 20, attraction to 17-year-olds really isn't far off. |
