Research 3 out of 4 women are lesbian or

A controversial study that has been published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology concludes that The vast majority of women are not heterosexual, but are attracted to other women

In this way, the research calls into question the sexual tendency that has traditionally been assigned to women and the correspondence between gender and heterosexuality.

Women are lesbian or bisexual, but almost never heterosexual

If you are a woman, this research will make you reflect on your sexual tastes. If you are a man, this study will change your life because your partner may be lying to you

This study, carried out by the University of Essex, seems to indicate that women are lesbian or bisexual, but rarely heterosexual. Obviously these data must be confirmed by other studies, but lThe results obtained in this research have caused a great impact worldwide

According to the study’s author, “Although most women identify as heterosexual, our research clearly shows that when it comes to sexual arousal, they are lying. They are lesbian or bisexual, but almost never heterosexual.”

The data from the controversial study

The research was led by Dr. Geruf Rieger from the Department of Psychology at the University of Essex in the United Kingdom. The study had a sample of 345 women, and initially sought to find a relationship between non-sexual and sexual male behaviors of lesbian women.

It was found that some lesbian women were more masculine in their sexual arousal and others in non-sexual characteristics, but for the most part there is no connection between both indicators, since Lesbian women’s nonsexual traits and their sexual arousal are influenced by independent factors

Rieger explains that “there are women who can dress in a masculine way but do not necessarily show masculine sexual behaviors,” and adds that “this informs us that although some women may appear in public with a very masculine attitude, in private they do not. It is known if they will also have masculine sexual behaviors.”

Most women are bisexual

For the study, subjects were shown videos of naked women and men andand recorded different indicators of the level of sexual attraction such as pupil dilation or genital arousal.

The results showed that 82% of participants were aroused by both sexes, so the vast majority of women are bisexual. Furthermore, of the women who claimed to be heterosexual, 74% were aroused by both sexes Most women who claimed to be lesbians were only aroused by videos in which naked women appeared.

    More studies with similar results

    There are other studies that show similar results, that is, they confirm that the majority of women are attracted to other women. Research carried out by Boise State University (United States) in 2011 states that 60% of women who say they are heterosexual are attracted to other women

    Another study conducted by the University of Montreal in 2014 also found that: “although many women claim to be heterosexual, they are attracted to the same sex.” 36.9% of the sample of 718 women who claimed to be heterosexual had fantasized about having sexual relations with other women.

    Other research claims that women are attracted to both men and other women… like chimpanzees

    Possibly one of the most striking investigations in this line of research is the study carried out by Meredith Chivers.

    After analyzing the data, It was concluded that women are even excited by seeing two chimpanzees performing sexual acts For the study, Chivers used vaginal photoplethysmographs, a device that is capable of collecting blood flow in the vagina, and concluded that women become aroused when they watch videos of both people and animals masturbating or making love.
