Dr Luke Brunning, lecturer in Applied Ethics at the University of Leeds, said of the findings: "For some, heteroflexible will describe accurately how they experience attraction or typically behave. For others, it might be more of a promise-to-self, something they want to look into further, explore, or which they hope they will be in a position to experience in the future." Dr Brunning added that the flexibility could be viewed "negatively" as a "deviation" from the heterosexual standard, especially for men who may "suffer extensive bi-erasure" or be "unable to accept they are 'actually gay'".
