Fluidity in attractions and behaviors among same-sex attracted women has been
well-documented, suggesting the appropriateness of dynamical systems modeling of
these phenomena over time. As dynamical systems modeling offer an approach to
explaining the patterns of complex phenomena, it may be apt for explaining
variability in female same-sex sexuality. The present research is the first
application of this analytical approach to such data. Dynamical systems modeling,
and specifically generalized local linear approximation modeling, was used to fit
daily diary data on same-sex attractions and behaviors over a 21 day period among
a group of 33 sexual minority women characterized as lesbian, bisexual or "fluid"
based on their identity histories. Daily measures of women's reported same-sex
attractions were fit using a linear oscillator model and its parameters estimated
the cyclicity in these attractions. Results supported the existence of a "core
sexual orientation" for women in this sample, regardless of how they identified
and despite a high degree of variability in daily same-sex attractions. Thus,
modeling individual differences in the variability of attractions and behaviors
of sexual minority women may be critical to furthering our understanding of
female same-sex sexuality and human sexual orientation more broadly.
