Fluiditas seksual

Fluiditas seksual (bahasa Inggris: sexual fluidity) adalah satu atau lebih perubahan dalam seksualitas atau identitas seksual (kadang-kadang dikenal sebagai identitas orientasi seksual). Orientasi seksual stabil dan tidak berubah untuk sebagian besar orang, tetapi beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa orang mungkin mengalami perubahan dalam orientasi seksual mereka, dan ini lebih mungkin terjadi pada wanita daripada pria.[1] Tidak ada bukti ilmiah bahwa orientasi seksual dapat diubah melalui psikoterapi.[2][3] Identitas seksual dapat berubah sepanjang hidup seseorang, dan mungkin atau mungkin tidak selaras dengan jenis kelamin biologis, perilaku seksual, atau orientasi seksual yang sebenarnya.[4][5][6] Namun, diagnosis psikologis dan data terbaru menunjukan fluiditas ini beberapa ternyata dipengaruhi faktor psikologis atau kejiwaan.

Orientasi seksual bukanlah pilihan.[7][8][9] Tidak ada konsensus tentang penyebab pasti berkembangnya orientasi seksual, tetapi pengaruh genetik, hormonal, sosial dan budaya telah diperiksa.[9][10][11] Para ilmuwan percaya bahwa itu disebabkan oleh interaksi kompleks dari pengaruh genetik (usang), hormonal, dan lingkungan.[7][9][11] Meskipun belum ada satu teori pun tentang penyebab orientasi seksual yang mendapat dukungan luas, para ilmuwan lebih menyukai teori berbasis biologis.[7][12] Penelitian selama beberapa dekade telah menunjukkan bahwa orientasi seksual dapat berada di titik mana pun di sepanjang kontinum, dari ketertarikan eksklusif pada lawan jenis hingga ketertarikan eksklusif pada sesama jenis (usang).[13]

Hasil studi longitudinal skala besar oleh Savin-Williams, Joyner, dan Rieger (2012) menunjukkan bahwa stabilitas identitas orientasi seksual selama periode enam tahun lebih umum daripada perubahan, dan stabilitas itu paling besar di antara pria dan mereka yang mengidentifikasi diri sebagai heteroseksual.[14] Karena perbedaan gender dalam stabilitas identitas orientasi seksual, seksualitas pria dan wanita tidak diperlakukan sebagai berfungsi melalui mekanisme yang sama. Para peneliti terus menganalisis fluiditas seksual untuk lebih menentukan hubungannya dengan subkelompok orientasi seksual (yaitu, biseksual, lesbian, gay, dll.). Konsep fluiditas seksual menggambarkan bagaimana orientasi seksual seseorang bisa berubah atau bervariasi sepanjang hidup mereka. Ini berarti ketertarikan seksual seseorang tidak selalu tetap dan dapat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, termasuk perubahan internal seperti perkembangan emosional dan psikologis. Fluiditas seksual menekankan bahwa orientasi seksual tidak selalu bersifat tetap atau biner, tetapi dapat lebih dinamis dan fleksibel. Perkembangan psikologis juga memainkan peran penting dalam fluditas identitas orientasi seksual.[15]

Penggunaan istilah fluiditas seksual telah dikaitkan dengan Lisa M. Diamond, terutama yang berkaitan dengan seksualitas wanita.[16][17] Istilah dan konsep tersebut mendapat pengakuan dalam profesi psikologi dan media.[18]

Debat budaya

[sunting | sunting sumber]

Eksplorasi fluiditas seksual yang digagas oleh Lisa M. Diamond menghadirkan tantangan budaya bagi komunitas LGBT; ini karena meskipun peneliti biasanya menekankan bahwa perubahan orientasi seksual tidak mungkin terjadi, meskipun ada upaya terapi konversi, identitas seksual dapat berubah seiring waktu. Bahwa orientasi seksual tidak selalu stabil menantang pandangan banyak orang dalam komunitas LGBT, yang percaya bahwa orientasi seksual adalah tetap dan tidak berubah.[19]

Ada beberapa tingkat perdebatan budaya mengenai pertanyaan tentang bagaimana (dan jika) fluiditas ada di antara manusia,[20] termasuk pertanyaan tentang fluktuasi ketertarikan dan gairah pada pria biseksual.[21]

Fluiditas seksual mungkin tumpang tindih dengan label abroseksual, yang telah digunakan untuk merujuk pada perubahan reguler dalam seksualitas seseorang.[22][23]

Sexual fluidity is situation-dependent flexibility in a person’s sexual responsiveness, which makes it possible for some individuals to experience desires for either men or women under certain circumstances regardless of their overall sexual orientation.... We expect that in all cultures the vast majority of individuals are sexually predisposed exclusively to the other sex (i.e., heterosexual) and that only a minority of individuals are sexually predisposed (whether exclusively or non-exclusively) to the same sex.

Modern scholarship examining the stability of sexual orientation also seems to support our conceptualizations of sexual orientation, sexual orientation identity, and sexual identity (e.g., Diamond, 2003a; Horowitz & Necomb, 2001; Rosario, Schrimshaw, Hunter, & Braun, 2006, see Savin-Williams, Chapter 28, this volume). Specifically, some dimensions of sexual identity, such as relationships, emotions, behaviors, values, group affiliation, and norms, appear to be relatively fluid; by contrast, sexual orientation [i.e., an individual's patterns of sexual, romantic, and affectional arousal and desire for other persons based on those persons' gender and sex characteristics (APA Task Force on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual orientation, 2009)] has been suggested to be stable for a majority of people across the lifespan (Bell, Weinberg, & Hammersmith, 1981; Ellis & Ames, 1987; Haldeman, 1991; Money, 1987).

Starting with their earliest erotic feelings, most people remember being attracted to either the opposite sex or the same sex. [...] The fact that sexual orientation is usually quite stable doesn't rule out the possibility that for some people sexual behavior may change during the course of a lifetime.

Therapeutic interventions intended to change, modify, or manage unwanted nonheterosexual orientations are referred to as “sexual orientation change efforts” (SOCE; APA, 2009b).

[R]esearch suggests that women's sexual orientation is slightly more likely to change than men's (Baumeister 2000; Kinnish et al. 2005). The notion that sexual orientation can change over time is known as sexual fluidity. Even if sexual fluidity exists for some women, it does not mean that the majority of women will change sexual orientations as they age – rather, sexuality is stable over time for the majority of people.

The mechanisms for the development of a particular sexual orientation remain unclear, but the current literature and most scholars in the field state that one’s sexual orientation is not a choice; that is, individuals do not choose to be homosexual or heterosexual. A variety of theories about the influences on sexual orientation have been proposed. Sexual orientation probably is not determined by any one factor but by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences.

The reason some individuals develop a gay sexual identity has not been definitively established  – nor do we yet understand the development of heterosexuality. The American Psychological Association (APA) takes the position that a variety of factors impact a person's sexuality. The most recent literature from the APA says that sexual orientation is not a choice that can be changed at will, and that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors...is shaped at an early age...[and evidence suggests] biological, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality (American Psychological Association 2010).
