Move over, throuples: the hottest new craze in non-normative sexuality is “flexisexuality.” Supposedly being pushed by celebrity stains like Katy Perry, flexisexuals are girls who have no problem kissing other girls, but are only really interested in dating boys. So, um, did we just come up with a word to describe some pretty normal adolescent behavior? Sure sounds like it! Flexisexuality is, of course, just a media-hyped buzzword that can be used to explain to parents that when they catch their daughters kissing their female friends, it’s no big deal; they’ll be back on boys in no time. (It’s also a dating website.)

“Heteroflexible” is another word for it. Simply people who identify nominally as heterosexual and only date opposite-sex people, but who wouldn’t be opposed to a same-sex encounter depending on the circumstances

Do we really need a fancy, technical term for “attention whore?”

@RAE: Lesploitation is the perfect word for this! You win!!

This is so stupid, what a slap in the face to LGBT youths
“hey if this girl can kiss other girls but still want to marry guys, why can’t all of them??”
All teenagers experiment, but it should be to help them figure out who they are, not a craze.
And also, just another way to “label” people, if katy perry wants to help, support LGBT.

Did Jason and his misogyny take the day off?
Damn.
