书籍介绍
This unsettling and original book offers a radical new understanding of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Lisa Diamond argues that for some women, love and desire are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as women move through the stages of life, various social groups, and, most important, different love relationships.
Lisa M. Diamond is Associate Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies at the University of Utah.

psychological standard research, with insights of bisexuality, still essentialism to some extent
Sexual fluidity means situation dependent flexibility in women's sexual responsiveness. which makes it possible for some women to experience desires for either men or women under certain circumstances. regardless of their overall sexual orientation.
相信在你的身边，也或许遇到过“性向流动”的人——起先，他/她是一种看似静态的性取向，随后则发生了变化。人们通常会习惯性的将这种人称为双性恋者（“啊，你是双！”）。不过，按照文中的观点，“一直持续地对男性、女性都感兴趣的双性恋并不属于流动性取向。而从另一个方面来讲，那些只在一段时间里喜欢男性或者女性的，才叫流动双性恋”，所以，主要的区分在于动态流动性。
被一位微博陌生好友种草后，毕业季阅读进度缓慢。书里结论有很多理论实验支撑，案例有趣形象，也澄清了很多世俗观念里的误解，不是说喜欢过异性就不能再喜欢同性，喜欢了同性再喜欢异性之前的恋爱就是假的，就不是真正的les。（看了之后非常想读性学……为什么知名度这么低呢？大概是没有译本吧：）
