Editing Sexual fluidity (section)

== Cultural debate ==
The exploration on sexual fluidity initiated by Lisa M. Diamond presented a cultural challenge to the [[LGBT community]]; this is because although researchers usually emphasize that changes in sexual orientation are unlikely, despite [[conversion therapy]] attempts, sexual identity can change over time. That sexual orientation is not always stable challenges the views of many within the LGBT community, who believe that sexual orientation is fixed and immutable.<ref name="Exploring">[http://www.advocate.com/health/love-and-sex/2014/02/11/exploring-umbrella-bisexuality-and-fluidity "Exploring the Umbrella: Bisexuality and Fluidity"], Trudy Ring for ''The Advocate'', February 11, 2014</ref> 

There is some level of cultural debate regarding the question of how (and if) fluidity exists among men,<ref>[http://www.dailydot.com/opinion/mostly-straight-men-sexual-fluidity/ "Why men's sex lives are more complicated than you think"], Nico Lang for "The Daily Dot", Jan 30, 2015</ref> including questions regarding fluctuations in attractions and arousal in male bisexuals.<ref>[http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/08/16/9534403-case-closed-bisexual-men-exist "Case Closed: Bisexual Men Exist!"], Dan Savage for ''The Stranger'', Aug. 16, 2011</ref>

Sexual fluidity may overlap with the label ''abrosexual'', which has been used to refer to regular changes in one's sexuality.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-06-21|title=LGBTQ+ 101 - What does abrosexual mean?|url=https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/life/what-does-abrosexual-mean/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-22|website=[[Gay Times]]|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=Francis|first=Shadeen|title=Sexual Fluidity Behind Culture|date=2020|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-36222-5_7|work=Cultural Differences and the Practice of Sexual Medicine: A Guide for Sexual Health Practitioners|pages=115–132|editor-last=Rowland|editor-first=David L.|series=Trends in Andrology and Sexual Medicine|place=Cham|publisher=Springer International Publishing|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-36222-5_7|isbn=978-3-030-36222-5|s2cid=213379215|access-date=2021-09-22|editor2-last=Jannini|editor2-first=Emmanuele A.|editor2-link=Emmanuele A.
