Lead author Ritch C Savin-Williams, a psychologist specializing in gender studies, warns we still struggle with the concept of bisexuality - particularly when it comes to men.

Savin-Williams' new book Mostly Straight: Sexual Fluidity Among Men finds younger generations are increasingly open to "looser boundaries", and interviews 40 men who insist they are "straight" but dabble in liaisons with other men.

Savin-Williams的新书《大部分是直男：男人的性向流动》里发现，年轻一代的男性对待性别边界的态度越来越宽松。他调查了40位男性，他们都坚持自己是直男，但也愿意与其他男性发生关系。

liaisons：私通

It builds on his study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Savin-Williams examined volunteers who identified as either male or female.

Women's eyes dilated watching men with women, and watching women with women.Men's eyes dilated watching women masturbate, and watching men masturbate - regardless of their stated sexual preference.
