A study has revealed that most women saying that they’re straight
are in fact aroused by videos of both naked men and naked women.
Research has
found that although lesbians are much more attracted to the female form, most
women saying they are straight are still aroused by videos of both naked men
and naked women.
The study,
led by Dr Gerulf Rieger from the Department of Psychology at Essex University,
included 345 women those responses to being shown naked videos of attractive
men and women were analyzed.
The results which
were based on elements such as whether their pupils when shown sexual stimuli
showed that 82% of the participants were aroused by both sexes. Meanwhile 74%
of the women who classify themselves as heterosexual were strongly aroused by
naked videos of both men and women.
This was in
contrast to lesbians, who showed far stronger sexual responses to women than to
men. The researchers said lesbians were the most like men in their sexual
responses as it is usually men who show distinct sexual responses to their
favorite sex.
“Though the
majority of women identify as straight, our study clearly demonstrates that
when it comes to what turns them on, they’re either bisexual or gay, but never
straight. Moreover, lesbians who may dress in a more masculine way may not have
more masculine behaviors,” said Dr Rieger.
He also
added that even though some lesbians were more masculine in their sexual
arousal and others were more masculine in their behaviors, there was no
indication that these were the same women. “This shows us that how women appear
in public does not mean that we know anything about their sexual role
preferences,” claimed he.
