A new survey has revealed the thing that most holds women back from dating men.
Glamour magazine recently studied over 1,000 women from the ages of 18 to 44 regarding their own sexual experiences and identity and found that 63% would not date a man who has slept with another man.
The same percentage also shunned labels like 'homosexual', 'heterosexual' and 'bisexual'.

Ritch C. Savin-Williams, director of the sex and gender lab at Cornell University told the magazine that people have a penchant for inventing their own labels. "There is a growing tendency not to be boxed in, especially among millennial women," he said.
This is what happens when you type 'relationship' into our media library.
"I don't look at a woman and think, 'Oh, I wanna bone her.' But I do think sexuality is fluid," one volunteer study said, speaking of her first same-sex experience. "It was fun, but it didn't change how I see my sexuality. I just thought, 'Oh, this is a new way to have sex.'"
Sex therapist Joe Kort, Ph. D. wrote a Huffington Post blog last year detailing the "more fluid" tendencies of women and sexuality.

"Male and female sexual fluidity are expressed in ways that may not yet be showing up on paper," he said.
"If a guy marks a box on a survey saying, yes, I've been attracted to another man, or, yes, I've had sex with another man in the past year, it may not be at all the same thing as when a woman checks the same box.
"There are many various expressions of straight male sexual fluidity."
