Although some bisexual men experience conventional sexual attraction to both males and females, others have less obvious sexual interests underlying their bisexual identity, attraction, or behavior (i.e., bisexual phenomena). Accordingly, it has been proposed that some men's bisexual phenomena are motivated by autogynephilia, a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of being a woman. For these men, sexual attraction to males is secondary to their autogynephilia, rather than a reflection of conventional attraction to males. The present study examined how common autogynephilia is among bisexual cisgender men, and how autogynephilic bisexual men may differ from non-autogynephilic bisexual men in their sexual interests and behavior, uncertainty about their sexual orientation, and gender-related experiences. We recruited a large sample of bisexual-identified men (n = 254) via Prolific to complete an online survey. Of the sample, 35% (n = 89) endorsed at least half of the items on a measure of core autogynephilia. Consistent with past research on autogynephilia, autogynephilic bisexual men reported more paraphilic sexual interests than non-autogynephilic bisexual men. Of clinical importance, autogynephilic bisexual men reported less certainty about their sexual orientation, elevated childhood and adult gender nonconformity, and elevated gender dysphoria relative to non-autogynephilic bisexuals. These findings suggest that a substantial minority of bisexual men experience autogynephilia, and that future research should consider the unique experiences and needs of autogynephilic bisexual men, including how else they might differ from other bisexual men.
虽然一些双性恋男性对男性和女性都有传统意义上的性吸引力,但另一些人的双性恋身份、吸引力或行为背后的性兴趣则不那么明显(即双性恋现象)。因此,有人提出,一些男性的双性恋现象是由自体性欲引发的,即男性倾向于因幻想自己成为女性或想象自己为女性的形象而产生性唤起。对于这些男性来说,对男性的性吸引力是其次要的,而不是对男性传统吸引力的反映。本研究调查了自体性欲在双性恋顺性别男性中普遍程度如何,以及有自体性欲的双性恋男性在性兴趣和行为、性取向的不确定性以及与性别相关的经历方面与无自体性欲的双性恋男性可能有何不同。我们通过Prolific招募了大量自称双性恋的男性样本(n = 254)来完成一项在线调查。在样本中,35%(n = 89)的人在一项核心自体性欲测量中认可了至少一半的项目。与过去关于自体性欲的研究一致,有自体性欲的双性恋男性报告的性偏好障碍性性兴趣比无自体性欲的双性恋男性更多。具有临床重要性的是,有自体性欲的双性恋男性报告其性取向的确定性较低,童年和成年期的性别非顺应性增加,以及相对于无自体性欲的双性恋者而言,性别焦虑增加。这些发现表明,相当一部分双性恋男性经历过自体性欲,未来的研究应该考虑有自体性欲的双性恋男性的独特经历和需求,包括他们可能与其他双性恋男性的其他不同之处。
