Women are never straight - they are either gay or bisexual, study suggests

Although lesbians are much more attracted to females, most women who say they are straight were aroused by videos of both naked men and naked women.

The study, led by Doctor Gerulf Rieger from the Department of Psychology at the University of Essex, showed a series of videos of naked men and women to 235 women and recorded their responses.

It found 82 per cent of the women tested were aroused by both sexes, based on indicators such as whether their pupils dilated in response to sexual stimuli.

Of the women who identified as straight, 74 per cent were strongly sexual aroused by videos of both attractive men and attractive women.

In contrast, lesbians showed much stronger sexual responses to women than to men.

"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," Dr Riegler said.

Saw this on Facebook earlier. I question the truth of this. But then I guess we'd have to get the views of some of the women here on the forum

Actually a lot of my friends, straight friends, can honestly say if they think a man is attractive or not (generally, not sexually). But like you would have no interest in doing anything or having a relationship with a man.

It is different for many older men though lol

But the article states straight women are aroused by naked women. That is almost certainly not true of straight guys with naked guys

Reminds me of this..............



Maybe it's just not such a big deal for women.  I have a pretty open mind, well ok, a very open mind on these things. I can find women sexually attractive but I never felt that attraction was strong enough to act on it.

I've been married since God was a boy anyway but if I had of been attracted to a girl when I was younger I wouldn't have been hung about about.  Maybe I would have kissed a girl to see if I liked it

But that would have been it, I can't imagine being in love or a sexual relationship with another woman.  I love men too much
