The updated numbers are in. In the latest Gallup Poll,<\/strong>[1]<\/a> we\u2019re told that \u201cLGBT Identification\u201d has risen \u201cto 5.6%\u201d \u2013 at least, if the \u201cLatest U.S. Estimate\u201d is to be believed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to analysts, extrapolating from a recent poll of public opinion, those identifying as something other than<\/em> \u201cheterosexual\u201d saw a \u201c1.1-percentage-point increase\u201d in 2020.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s that got to do with this website?<\/p>\n

Well\u2026 the gallup.com news summary relates that the \u201cMajority of LGBT Americans say they are bisexual\u201d!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What should we think about this news?<\/p>\n

Specifically, is this news good or bad for the Forced-Bi fetish?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actually, given the peculiar nature of sexual fetishes, the question has a bit more subtlety than one might first suppose.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin by cataloging the proverbial \u201cpros\u201d and \u201ccons.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the plus side, this information may be an indication that our titular fetish is primed to see a lively boost.<\/p>\n

Ms. Vivian, of Dallas Domination, recently commented to us that she believed the Forced-Bi fetish would continue to grow. (Listen to her remarks, HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Or, again, Empress Nymph remarked that Forced Bi was part and parcel of \u201cmen …embracing their sexuality.\u201d (For her interview, see HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Similarly, Miss Lee is of the opinion that \u201c…the popularity of the forced-bi fetish is …due to acceptance of the fact that gender and sexual preference is not binary.\u201d Ostensibly, her sentiment tends to find reinforcement in the recent statistical developments. (Read more from Miss Lee, HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

One might even think that hearing or seeing the information itself <\/strong>(H\/T: Ms. Vivian!) could prompt some people to explore \u201ccoerced bi,\u201d \u201cencouraged gay,\u201d or other kinds of \u201cforced bisexual\u201d play.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, from where we sit, that would be a definite \u201cwin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, from a selfish perspective, we also think it\u2019s prudent to restrain our enthusiasm \u2013 at least somewhat<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And this is the case for two main reasons.<\/p>\n

Firstly, there\u2019s the boring, mathematical-statistical reason. It\u2019s not entirely clear how much can be made from the available data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professedly, pollsters queried around 15,000 individuals.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

This seems like a fair amount, until one realizes that there are about 200 million adults in the country.[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

But this means, then, that the sample set only represents approximately 0.0075% \u2013 or seventy-five ten-thousandths of a percent \u2013 of the population, which is vanishingly small.[4]<\/a><\/p>\n

Obviously, everything turns \u2013 crucially \u2013 on the question of whether or not this was a representative sample.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn\u2019t. In other words, what we have is inconclusive.[5]<\/a><\/p>\n

For our part, we just don\u2019t know<\/em> \u2013 hence, our slightly attenuated zeal.<\/p>\n

Secondly, though, and maybe more interestingly, there could be a fetish-relative concern that, as \u201corganic\u201d bisexuality increases, the popularity of this particular activity would \u2013 almost necessarily \u2013 diminish.<\/p>\n

After all, the fetish manifestly has to do with the idea \u2013 some would say \u201croleplay\u201d \u2013 of being \u201cforced\u201d into bisexuality.<\/p>\n

To put the worry another way, as the number of self-professed \u201cbisexuals\u201d rises, it\u2019s natural to suspect that the number of \u201cforcing\u201d candidates will decrease.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was voiced quite forcefully by Bastienne Cross. When we asked her whether she believed that the Forced-Bi fetish was growing in popularity, she replied as follows.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll probably lose a bit of steam as the homophobic older generations die out. It\u2019s a fetish largely based on homophobia after all.\u201d (For her further thoughts, click HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Along the same line, Valkyree Jaine declared: \u201cThe only reason this fetish can even exist in the world is because of the incredible stigma there is around men being gay or bisexual.\u201d (See her interview, HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

In one place, Domina Jemma seems to express partial agreement with this when she stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be real. Guy-on-guy stuff is the last taboo in male sexuality. There is still a lot of homophobia about, as well as incredibly old-fashioned ideas of masculinity.\u201d (For Domina Jemma’s complete interview, please see HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The implication perhaps being that, as Bastienne Cross opined, if and when homophobia declines, and the guy-on-guy taboo gives way to something else, this fetish may go the way of the dinosaur.<\/p>\n

(Still, when I asked Domina Jemma is Forced Bi was increasing in popularity, she answered fervently by saying: \u201cOh, for sure! Viva La Revolucion Sessual!<\/em>\u201d So, you can see that this is a bit complicated.)<\/p>\n

For the sake of our favorite fetish, maybe we should hope that things don\u2019t get to that point any time soon!<\/p>\n

Speaking solely from a self-interested point of view, fetishists might therefore be happy that, even with the recent gains, those who identify (overtly, anyway) as \u201cbisexual\u201d remains a fairly low percent.<\/p>\n

However<\/em>\u2026!<\/p>\n

Apart from this somewhat tongue-in-cheek commentary, we\u2019ll conclude by predicting that many of our interviewees likely welcome this news.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many are thoroughgoing apologists for personal exploration, in general, and would probably interpret the increase in bisexuals as indicative of a population-wide broadening of sexual horizons.<\/p>\n

Goddess Shawna seemingly represented this perspective when she commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the education and communication about sexuality and gender roles has grown significantly these past few years and will only continue to become more normalized.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating a conversation in every household is important, and we are seeing it more and more, which will likely allow more young adults to experiment and explore without being shackled to societal norms.\u201d (Read her remarks in their full context, HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Finally, a few respondents, a bit more hardcore from the standpoint of social activism, are apt to find in the recent press releases further ammunition for their declared war on \u201cheteronormativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

For some representative, here, you might see the interviews from The Sissy Whisperer (HERE<\/a>) or Goddexx Daphne Wilde (HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But, we\u2019d love to hear from readers!<\/strong><\/p>\n
