[caerbannog]

What turns us on and where we place ourselves on the sexual spectrum is exceedingly personal. A new study investigating the existence of this spectrum may prove somewhat controversial, then: It claims that women are almost always gay or bisexual and are almost certainly not straight. The research has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

Previous studies using volunteers to investigate the sexual arousal of both men and women have been conducted. Many have suggested that women are, on average, physiologically aroused – as in, showing physical changes in their bodies indicating attraction – to both male and female sexual stimuli. The same is apparently not true for lesbians as, surprisingly, they are significantly more aroused by their own sex than by the opposite sex.

This new study, led by Dr. Gerulf Rieger from the Department of Psychology at the University of Essex, asked 345 women of varying sexual orientations to watch a series of videos featuring sexual content. At the same time, their biological responses were measured, including their pupil dilation and their genital response (pulse and blood flow).

The subjects were women ranging in age, educational background, and ethnicity. They were asked to place themselves on a sexual spectrum scale, identifying themselves as either “straight,” “mostly straight,” “bisexual leaning straight,” “bisexual,” “bisexual leaning lesbian,” “mostly lesbian,” or “lesbian.”

The results indeed found that women who identified as heterosexuals were, on average, strongly aroused by videos of both attractive men and women. In contrast to this, self-identified lesbians exhibited a far stronger response to women than men, which the researchers likened to the responses of heterosexual men: both groups show proportional levels of attraction to their self-identified sexual orientation.

A major criticism this paper is likely to receive when it is published is that arousal is not precisely the same as sexual orientation, despite the language of the lead author suggesting so in the media. “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. Rieger said, as reported by Pink News.

The study notes that, unlike men, a woman’s sexual attraction may be less affected by a partner’s sex and more influenced by cultural and social factors; these factors include relationship history, educational experiences, religious beliefs and cultural assimilation. As a result of this, a woman’s sexual attitude may vary far more than a man’s, and studies such as this one – and others – appear to back this idea up. Hormonal exposure levels from a young age are also cited as a possible explanation for the general variability in responses to sexual stimuli.

It’s a distinctly tricky subject: The authors of the study also mention that “there is considerable variability across sex in physiological sexual arousal to male or female stimuli.” They point out that their research base falls into the Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic – or WEIRD – demographic, and thus their results cannot be accurately applied to the wider populace just yet.

I feel like it could be cultural. Maybe it's from the excessive sexualized of women in media? And constant emphasis of women's attractiveness. Like you gotta know what you're competing against where as that pressure isn't as strong on men.

Never straight? Women disgust me sexually, so this is hilariously wrong.

How did you miss the "almost"?

Re: Copy paste summary

Rather than the study that's suspect, it's the blog write-up of it. Just saying. The study is measuring arousal, not sexual orientation

Re: Study Suggests Women Are Bisexual Or Gay, But Almost Never Straight

[philstar22]

My thoughts are that this is in large part due to the sexualization of women's bodies in media and culture and does not mean that all women would sleep with or be in a relationship with other women. Seeing the attractiveness in someone or even being turned on does not mean you would actually sleep with them. Some people have been known to be turned on when they are shown images of animals. That doesn't mean anything about their sexuality.

Maybe we should lock up a couple of guys with only teen wolf and magic Mike for a few months to see if we can get the same results.

This is why I'll always wonder if I'm really bi or just... that. And then I feel awful for wondering because it buys into straightness being the default and being anything other than straight needs a "reason."

Re: Study Suggests Women Are Bisexual Or Gay, But Almost Never Straight

Well, I think there's probably a good argument for most humans getting sexually aroused by sexual pictures of other humans, no matter the gender. I think that's different, though, then randomly being attracted to someone in the street. I think it's misleading to call someone "not heterosexual" because a sexual picture of a woman aroused them. If in real life scenarios you never or almost never feel attraction toward women, you're not bisexual.

But I do think human sexuality is probably a lot more fluid than most of us understand, in the right circumstances, or with the right mindset. Labels just box people unnecessarily.

There's a really easy answer to this: if shown pics of women, probably women picture themselves in place of the woman

Show a dude a video of a dude really really enjoying a blowjob and there's bound to be response even if the person doing the blowing is male

I will have to disagree here.

The thought of touching another woman's vagina or even boobs is revolting to me.

I can aesthetically appreciate a beautiful woman (and be jealous of her looks too) but I just don't want to be touched by another woman in a sexual manner or touch another woman in a sexual manner. At all.

I think lesbian couples are adorable. But the thought of inserting myself into that mix is pretty revolting to me.

I have a hard time watching straight porn because I don't like looking at vaginas too.

I feel kind of bad for writing it out like that because it makes it seem like I find it inherently disgusting or something (and I don't think that). It's just for myself that I'm repulsed.

Women do nothing for me on a sexual level.

I can totally understand not caring or not wanting to touch the private parts of women, but why do you find it revolting? Is this how all straight people feel?

Re: Study Suggests Women Are Bisexual Or Gay, But Almost Never Straight

[(Anonymous)]

Smart women aren't straight, but I do believe there are some undereducated homophobes too scared to let themselves be anything other than straight.

okaaaay but

that doesn't make anyone bisexual, it just measures a physiological response...

kinda interesting though

"that doesn't make anyone bisexual, it just measures a physiological response..."

THAT.

If this were Facebook, I would Like this comment, and then unlike it just to like it again.

I honestly find this idea that women are all bisexual (or have "fluid" sexuality, while men don't) obnoxious. It always seems to lead to guys saying lesbians should be "cured" so they can have sex with men, and that straight women who refuse to have threesomes with a man and a woman are just being jerks because they can totally *make* themselves be attracted to a woman...

These studies bug me because opportunistic people immediately start looking for ways to use them to exploit womens' sexuality.

Most men would probably be "almost never straight" if they were viewed in society the same way women are, I think.

Men just don't receive the same "incentive" to fantasize about other men the way women do with other women, so I think it's fishy to single out biological attraction of an entire gender when it's not entirely defined by biology but also by societal expectations.

1. Sexuality is a complex phenomena that can't be reduced to measuring eye dilation, blood flow, or squishy-part turgidity while watching porn.

2. Speaking of which, why don't these studies deal with the possibility that erotic/pornographic art featuring women is ubiquitous, and response to it might be learned?

3. At least some people who have seen the study in question suggests that it doesn't really say that.

Re: Study Suggests Women Are Bisexual Or Gay, But Almost Never Straight

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I don't care what someone thinks about whatever arousal I may or may not get, I m straight and that means I'm not going to fuck another woman.

I find the conclusions of this study very, very questionable.

Re: Study Suggests Women Are Bisexual Or Gay, But Almost Never Straight

Wasn't there already a study that said women respond sexually to viewing sex acts while men respond to the participants in sex acts?
