    It’s like the Where’s Waldo of gay sex.

    source
  • TheDoozer@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s interesting that only one out of the lot of them was (at least within the last 6 months) gay. All the rest with same-sex relations were bisexual (at least within the last 6 months).

      I might be explained by the fact that it’s a lot harder to find a partner if you are gay and most of them outsource their search

  A striking lack of single dots that should be hovering around these.

  • essteeyou@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Would you consider that a romantic or sexual relation? Or both?

    • mkhopper@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Depends on which hand you use.

    • lolcatnip@reddthat.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The lines are relations. The dots are people.

  Surprisingly few gay relationships

  That one circular chain of people who seemed mostly to agree of having either two gfs or two bfs and never crossing another person in the chain…

  • mozz@mbin.grits.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I kept looking at that too. It's crazy to me that there are only 2 cycles in the graph. It honestly makes me think that either something must be wrong with the data, or it's reflective of some deep principle of math or sexuality (e.g. that people won't fuck around within their close social grouping nearly as readily as they will with people on the outskirts of it).

    • jnplch@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The authors wrote that they were surprised too and went back to talk to the students and apparently there was an unwritten rule that you don’t date the ex of the new partner of your ex. So if Bob and Alice split up and Alice starts dating Ben, then Bob should not date Ben’s ex Alison.

      Also feels weird there’s only one same gender connection (female to female) as far as I could see in that whole thing…

      I’ve spotted five cycles.

      1. The big boy.
      2. Six member cycle at the top of the big boy.
      3. Four member cycle with that guy who slept with nine girls.
      4. A second cycle with that same guy.
      5. That three way over to the right.

      It’s possible there’s more but I’m pretty sure that’s it.

    I find that extremely unlikely to occur. There’s just no way it’s a single link circle.

    source
  • muzzle@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That circle is just the scientific representation of the old Tom Leherer song!

• Schmoo@slrpnk.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  There are 6 people who’ve had gay sex that I could find and all but one of them are bi (or at least bi-curious). That seems like a statistical anomaly.

  source

  • antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s a 90s high school, somewhat rural and religious, according to the article. Either there really were few homosexual relationships there, or the students didn’t want to reveal them.

    source
  • flying_sheep@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You think?

    I think people feel liberated to say they’re gay these days, so there are much more people claiming to be gay than in previous decades. On the other hand, there’s still a lot of homophobes and also quite some biphobes around, so there’s probably a lot of bi people that present as hetero or even gay.

    I’d assume that most people are at least a little bi, and that they’ll try that out in high school even if they later decide they won’t pursue it.

    source

    • jjjalljs@ttrpg.network ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Not long ago I saw a woman’s profile on tinder in NYC that said “No bi men”. I guess it’s good that she put her phobia right out front like that.

      source
• essteeyou@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m surprised to see that a few people have had 5 or 6 sexual partners while in high school.

  source

  • TheDoozer@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    …within the previous 6 months.

    source
• EfreetSK@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  This is actually very interresting. I always found it hard to understand how some people can have so many sexual partners, and then there are people with very few of sexual partners. I had this theory that there must be some subculture of people who are really into this, date eachother in this group which causes their number to increase abnormally. It was just a silly theory but this sort of supports it?

  source

  • ricecake@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    If you look at this a little closer, you’ll notice that there aren’t actually that many highly connected nodes.
    The big structure is mostly composed of single link chains.

    source

    • EfreetSK@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Hmm you’re right, I thought the big circle was more interconnected. Actually it’s a bit weird that there are basically no crossing lines

      And that’s even more interesting. As someone who was not part of any of the graph in high school / college, how would a big link of chains play out in real time?

      Like “The Mary and Tom met at a party. Next week Tom stumbled into Lucy by the lockers…”

      I find it hard to imagine.

• rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I wonder how many lied

  source

  • essteeyou@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They’d have to lie about who they slept with, and I expect the other person might have something to say about that if it was not true.

    I wonder if they verified each claim from both sides.

    source

    • ICastFist@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      whether or not the nomination from i to j was reciprocated with a nomination from j to i.

• jabrd@hexbear.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  There is not nearly as much gay sex on this chart as I would’ve guessed. Just the one bi girl hookup in the second from the right tree at the top. Actually is that a threesome or do you think they just all screwed at different points in time?

  source

  • aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well it is a 20 year old study. Attitudes towards LGBT people were much less accepting back then

    source

    • Liz@midwest.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The relationships were from the early 90s. Everyone in the graph is in their 50s or close to it. So everything you said about attitudes is probably just more true.
