According to the findings, heteroflexibility is the fastest-growing sexuality, with the number of practitioners skyrocketing by 193% over the past year.

It is estimated that a staggering 15% of the US population — that’s 50 to 55 million Americans — now identifies as heteroflexible.

Of the heteroflexibles, two-thirds are millennials (born between the early 1980s and 1996), 18% are Gen Z (people born between 1997 and 2012) and 15.5% are Gen X (individuals born between 1965 and 1980).
