Women Are Either Bisexual Or Gay But Never Straight, New Research claims
Most women are either bisexual or gay but "never
straight", new research as shown.
Women who say they are straight are in fact aroused by
videos of both naked men and naked women, whereas lesbians are much more
attracted to the female form.
The study, led by Dr Gerulf Rieger from the Department of
Psychology at the University of Essex, involved 345 women. They were shown
videos and had their responses recorded, including whether their pupils dilated
in response to sexual stimuli.
The results found that straight women were strongly sexually
aroused by videos of both attractive men and attractive women, even though they
said they were only interested in men.
This was in contrast to lesbians, who showed much stronger
sexual responses to women than to men.
The researchers said lesbians were the most like men in
their responses because it is usually men who show distinct sexual responses to
their favourite sex.
Dr Rieger said: "Even though the majority of women
identify as straight, our research clearly demonstrates that when it comes to
what turns them on, they are either bisexual or gay, but never straight."
