Study concludes that no woman is totally heterosexual

Researchers at the University of Essex in the UK have published the results of a study that concludes that there's no such thing as a 100% heterosexual woman.

:-O

Gay women tend to be exclusively sexually attracted to women, while straight women are more likely to be aroused by both sexes, a study says.

Researchers asked 345 women about their sexual preferences and compared these with their arousal levels when shown videos of attractive men and women.

The University of Essex study concluded that no woman is "totally straight".

Full Story (BBC)

No one is 100% heterosexual.

Instead, a persons sexuality would be best shown by placing a mark on a line like this:

Straight ------------------------------------------------- Gay

Sexuality is a very complex and diverse part of human life. To shove it into 3 strict categories is a MAJOR over-simplification of sexuality.

Yeah agreed with this.

What the study found is that, for women, you can place a mark at the far right of that scale, but you cannot place a mark at the far left of the scale.

That's not true

LOL studies aren't always reality. And if that study were reality then the results would be the same for men.

Good to know that girls in general don't have a problem with threesomes...

Oh wait, it doesn't guarantee promiscuous behavior? Damn.

You can use fake percentages to prove anything. 89% of all people know that. Here, let me show you this chart..

Tell me where I can find a bisexual woman who is willing to bring other women into bed, then. I'm single now, so I'm serious. Cause I honestly don't see very many bisexual women around, let alone women who aren't judgmental about looks.

Nothing is gay until someone gets penetrated

What about shoving it into one category?

More on topic, I'm fine with the results. In fact, they align with my views on human nature in general.

While I admit to enjoying this idea I have to admit that the sample size of this study seems rather small.

Old news to me. But damn, why does it make me feel so insecure....

I question the results of all studies. They are influenced by the individuals doing the study and what outcome they are looking to achieve.

the one enlightening thing missing from the methodology is what kind of visual stimulation was used, just saying they show woman pictures of women and monitored their eye movements and brain chemistry isn't saying enough by itself, the nature of the pictures might effect the outcome of such a study

the female gender as far as social constructs goes are largely acceptable and even encouraged to display and accentuate their beauty and/or sexuality as a way to conform to their femininity, whereas men and masculinity this is typically not the case

as far as the conclusion goes, I'm not debating they're wrong in the women are more open to having sexual thoughts about other women, but I don't think that's entirely an innate attribute to sex that's hardwired in us in our genes, I think that the influences are social in origin and are the product of our development, for instance look at the acceptance in mainstream culture of displays of lesbianism being accepted and encouraged and men finding it okay, whereas just the opposite for anything between two men, I think these kinds of double standards and growing up around them have big impacts on our sexual development

makes sense. I've known many women that "experimented" either in college or in their youth with the same sex, and while they might not be turned on by the same sex now, they do find certain same sex individuals attractive. The number of times I've heard a woman say "I'd like a piece of that..." (or equivelent) about a member of the same sex is countless.

I don't think it is really about being bisexual or anything like that; I just think it is less taboo and more fun for women to go after women.

Women's sexuality is elastic and will change depending on the environment and situation they're in. Guys only experience that when they are in their developmental period - and then after that their sexuality is rigid.

Also - every girl I've dated says they've been attracted to girls or have had sexual experience with them. So yea - I won't argue with the study.

It doesn't surprise me, but I'd be willing to bet that the same would be true for men as well.

Women are just more open about their sexuality so they are likely to be more honest about it.

It's hard to do these kind of studies on men because a lot of them are insecure of their sexuality. Just look at 4chan and their trap loving culture.

So it's true. They really don't need men. :-P

I could have told you this.

Women these days have come up with alot of nonsense and with LGBT hype. An ex I had told me she was bisexual like 6 months after we were in a relationship, and after that I had no trust in her when she was around other girls (and I was fucking right be cause when we had split for a couple months this bitch went out and had a threesome with another gurl, but when we were in a relationship she would nag the shit about me that we had too much sex and that she didnt feel right going to church twice a week while we were having sex every other day. That she wanted to do right by god and I even toned down the sex for her to once every two weeks or so.)

When I was in High school, I could already tell that 40% of the girls in my school were bisexual, 20% lesbians, and the rest of the 40% left claimed to be straight but had either had a girl on girl sexual experience or wanted/wouldnt mind doing so.

I remember the day that I gave up... this bitch was dared to either flash her tits or make out with a girl. This bitch ran up the bleachers and almost raped another girl. Then turned around and said she isnt lesbian/bisexual that she had a boyfriend and that she wouldnt just flash us because she didnt want us to see her tits.

Let's remember how left wing media is brainwashing the populace. The line between man and woman is blurred, manliness is looked down upon, slutiness is encouraged. In many cases women are just as manly as "men". These women just need a real man and they would not be so confused.

@LostProphetFLCL: most men lean against heterosexual though

@LostProphetFLCL: I hope you understand that on a spectrum includes people who are singularly one end of it.

Well, having worked the doors, I have seen how touchy feely the modern day youth is. If a bloke had put a hand on my bum at that age, he would have got a swift punch in the face. And no i am not a bigot, we just did not get touchy feely like that. The article does not surprise me in the slightest. Always wondered if male Yoga practioners give themselves a selfie as it were :D
