Two large empirical studies examined bisexuality among self-identified heterosexual college students in three regions of the United States. For women college students, the rate of bisexuality was fairly consistent across both studies and the three geographic regions sampled with approximately 30% reporting same-sex feelings. The findings for heterosexually identified college women suggest considerable sexual variability exists for this population, thus challenging predominant constructs and measurements of sexual orientation. There was more variability in reports of same-sex feelings among heterosex-ually identified college men, with higher rates reported in the northeast and mid-Atlantic states than in the northwest. Further studies using larger samples of college men are needed to clarify these latter findings
