How many heterosexuals are 'ex-homosexuals'? In 1984, a random sample of Dallas adults indicated that 8 (2.7%) of 294 currently heterosexual men and 4 (1.0%) of 393 currently heterosexual women said that they were ex-homosexual. Of an urban sample from 5 additional cities, 0.5% of current heterosexuals reported that they had been homosexually 'married'. It thus appears that perhaps 1-2% of heterosexuals are ex-homosexuals. Proportionately more adults than teenagers and more men than women moved from homosexuality to heterosexuality. Of the 18 who changed, 12 became heterosexual and 6 bisexual, suggesting that perhaps two-thirds of those who abandon "being" homosexual 'become' heterosexual and a third 'become' bisexual. Because labeling oneself 'homosexual' is so mutable and value-laden, the term 'omnisexual' is suggested.
有多少异性恋者曾是“前同性恋者”?1984年,对达拉斯成年人的随机抽样调查显示,在294名目前为异性恋的男性中,有8人(2.7%)表示自己曾是同性恋者;在393名目前为异性恋的女性中,有4人(1.0%)称自己曾是同性恋者。在另外5个城市的城市样本中,0.5%的当前异性恋者报告称他们曾有过同性“婚姻”。因此,似乎1% - 2%的异性恋者曾是同性恋者。从同性恋转变为异性恋的成年人比例高于青少年,男性比例高于女性。在18名转变性取向的人中,12人变为异性恋,6人变为双性恋,这表明,在那些不再“是”同性恋的人中,大概三分之二“变成”了异性恋,三分之一“变成”了双性恋。由于给自己贴上“同性恋”的标签如此易变且充满价值判断,有人建议使用“泛性恋”这个术语。
