Summary:
"Is
love
"blind" when it comes to gender? For
women
, it just might be. This unsettling and original book offers a radical new
understanding
of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Diamond argues that for some
women
,
love
and
desire
are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as
women
move through different stages of life, different social groups, and most important, different
love
relationships." "This perspective clashes with traditional views of
sexual
orientation as a stable and fixed trait. But that view is based on research conducted almost entirely on men. Diamond is the first to study a large group of
women
over time. She has followed 100
women
for more than 10 years, from adolescence into adulthood. In this book they tell their stories, which are illuminated by Diamond'
s
review of an enormous body of research on the psychology of
love
and the biology of sex differences.
Sexual
Fluidity
offers moving first-person accounts of
women
falling in and out of
love
with men or
women
at different times in their lives."--BOOK JACKET.
