[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are bi.  [b]Actually scientists say that all women are either bi or lesbian- almost no totally straight women[/b].  But of course, we live in a patriarchy, and the majority of men (again according to scientists) are straight- so they don't exactly want women to start exploring relationships with other women.  Hence how that part of female sexuality is never explored [/quote]

Link please?  I am a 100% straight woman and I'm sure I'm not a tiny minority. [/quote]

I'm the PhD PP.  Couple of quick comments: Typically, media stories about research report where studies were/will be published.  Doesn't look like this story mentions whether this research will be published in a peer-reviewed, reputable journal.  Second, it only includes women.  For all we know, "straight" men may also react similarly when exposed to naked photos of men and women--this study doesn't say either way whether women are more likely to be gay or bisexual than men.  Third, they're measuring sexual arousal by pupil dilation.  When I was in my grad program, we measured arousal pretty unequivocally, via genital arousal in men and women.  Again, I don't work in this area anymore, but it seems that pupil dilation could be an indication of other emotional states besides sexual arousal, such as concentration, fear, etc.  Bottom line: I don't think one study tells the whole story on female sexuality.[/quote]

"The researchers said lesbians were the most like men in their responses because it is usually men who show distinct sexual responses to their favourite sex."

I think the scientists knew what they were doing.  I also doubt anyone is trying to say that this tells 'the whole story'- but it certainly speaks volumes.
