“this sexuality doesn’t exist because there’s no scientific studies about it”
Let me break down how silly you actually sound when you say something as ignorant as this.
Tldr? I explain just how tough it is to formally get approved to do legal, ethical research in the USA, human sexuality in general is a huge pain in the ass to get approved because of how taboo the subject is. I’ve also personally worked on research committees, so I have “insider knowledge”.
For starters, did gravity suddenly not exist before we had theories and studies that actually absorb the physics of gravity? No? See how dumb that is?
Now let’s break down the actual reason for why saying something as stupid “the sexuality doesn’t exist, because no sign studies have been done on it” I’ve worked on research committees that help research proposals get approved so they can be published and formally recognized by the scientific community.
If you are not aware, a scientist could not just say, “I want to do a research on (blank) topic.” They have to go through the formal process of getting research (often via grants), write a research proposal to show to said people who will give the money to help fund their project, and and then IF they are given funding (big IF, espicially if it’s coining new terminology or concepts), they can then formally submit their research proposal to the research ethics committee (NIH) to get approved, or disapproved for their project idea.
The way approval works, simply put, is that everyone on the committee must give a uniamous approval. However, everyone on the committee is an ANONYMOUS source, typically with some kind of level of experience in the subject of the research paper (physics, biology, excercise science, sociology, whatever the subject is), or heavy interest in the research project subject. If even ONE person gives a disapproval, then the person has to go back to the research brainstorming table, and resubmit a modified proposal. This process continues, until the person gets a unanimous approval. However, many people lose interest in pursuing this, because of how tedious it can quickly become (I’ve know some researchers that had to resubmit SIX TIMES the same research idea before getting approved).
Again, the committees are anonymous, and you are not aware of what the other committee members are doing with the project (give a approval to the idea or deny the idea). So if you give the proposal a “no/negative/no stamp of approval” (whatever you want to call it), and you’re the only person that denied them? They have to start the process of proposing all over again to a committee with a modified proposal. The research committees, are typically given a template that they must grade the research proposal on, as well as make sure that the persons spelling and grammar are top notch.
If after all is said and done, you get approved, congrats you can do your study. then, it’s a matter of what journals you can submit your research too, and potentially gain fame, or infamy, depending on your own individual background experience, as well as what journal you specifically submit to. Some journals, even in the scientific community, have not so good reputations for being “scientifically sound” or might be very biased towards a certain set of ideas.
Human sexuality in general, is a very tough subject to get approved within research committees, because of how taboo the subject matter is. a great colleague of mine, actually was the first researcher to Pioneer study on pubic hair, and that was published in freaking 2015. Why it took that long to get a formal study about pubic hair done, I shall never know.
So yeah, when it comes to coining new terminology or anything like that, on top of it being involved in the human sexuality research field? You have a VERY SMALL CHANCE of it actually being approved within a REASONABLE time frame (reasonable for most other research topics is 6-12 months from the time you send off your first research proposal idea to the committee to when you actually get approved).
