Instead it seems how we identify our sexuality is somewhat dependent on what’s accepted in our society.
In fact, it’s been widely documented ancient civilisations frequently participated in same sex relations. Using the Kinsey scale, a method of clarifying sexuality, only 46 per cent of 18-24-year-olds placed themselves on the exclusively heterosexual end of the scale, compared to 72 per cent of the rest of the population.Īlthough this might seem to suggest our generation is more gay than our predecessors, this isn’t necessarily the case. A recent YouGov survey revealed 1 in 2 young people don’t identify with being 100 per cent straight.
