Dr Sally Johnston, an adjunct professor of anthropology and sociology, emphasizes that we need to rethink the nature of human attraction and desire as only one-to-one experiences.
The study reveals that many participants reported feeling a sexual attraction to the 'third force' or 'synergy' between existing members of a couple, rather than the individuals themselves.
Dr Johnston's findings first emerged while exploring the treatment of 'unicorns' in polyamorous communities, shedding light on how attraction dynamics operate in these contexts.
Through data from The Pleasure Study, Dr Johnston's research aims to give voice to a phenomenon that has often gone unstudied and unrecognized within sexual attraction.
