"Women Are Never Straight" States Scientists!

#1

Women are either bisexual or gay but 'never straight', a new study has claimed.

Women who class themselves as heterosexual are aroused by naked videos of both attractive men and women - whereas lesbians are far more attracted to the female form.

Clips were played to women and their responses, including whether their pupils dilated when shown sexual stimuli, were recorded.

Experts from the University of Essex found straight women were strongly aroused by both sexes, even though they said they were only interested in men.

In contrast, lesbians showed far stronger responses to women and barely any when shown the 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 favorite sex.

The study, involving 345 women, was led by Dr Gerulf Rieger from the Department of Psychology.

'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,' he said.

Dr Rieger also said his study showed that lesbians who may dress in a more masculine way may not have more masculine behaviours.

'Although some lesbians were more masculine in their sexual arousal, and others were more masculine in their behaviours, there was no indication that these were the same women,' he said.

'This shows us that how women appear in public does not mean that we know anything about their sexual role preferences.'

Later Gerulf Rieger said ‘never' was too strong but he meant ‘the majority of women who identify as straight are not straight in their sexual arousal.'

Here is what else they found:

82% of the 345 women were aroused by videos of both men and women.

Of the women who identified as straight, 74% were strongly aroused by videos of women.

Women who identified a gay showed a much stronger response women, as expected.

"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," stated Dr. Rieger.
