What caught my attention this morning…
Love triangles have been a staple part of narratives throughout storytelling history, but scientists now believe that this has influenced an entirely new sexuality.
A new study by researchers at Seattle University has identified that 'symbiosexual' people are attracted to the energy between established couples rather than between themselves and one other person, bringing a whole new meaning to the more, the merrier.
This type of sexuality is described as "attraction to the energy, multidimensionality, and power shared between people in relationships," as per a definition provided by the Archives of Sexual Behavior when discussing a previous 2023 study titled 'The Pleasure Study.'
The study, which surveyed 373 participants about aspects of their sexual and gender identity, also found that a large portion of participants in the study actually felt romantic and sexual attraction to the “synergy” of a third person being thrown into the mix."
