[quote=Anonymous][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.

You clearly are desperate to believe that this one shoddy study is true. This study doesn't speak volumes at all. It just speaks volumes to you, because it's what you want to believe. [/quote]
