Research: 3 out of 4 women are lesbian or bisexual

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

In this way, the research questions 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 the 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 of the controversial study

The research was led by Dr. Geruf Rieger from the Department of Psychology at the University of Essex in the UK. The study had a sample of 345 women, and initially sought to find a relationship between the non-sexual and sexual masculine 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 mostly there is no connection between both indicators, since the non-sexual traits of lesbian women 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 behavior”, 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, the subjects were shown videos of naked women and men and various indicators of the level of sexual attraction were recorded, 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 turned on by both genders . Most of the women who claimed to be lesbians were only turned on by videos featuring naked women.

More studies with similar results

There are other studies that show similar results, that is, they confirm that most 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 "despite the fact that 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 sex 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 to see two chimpanzees performing the sexual act . For the study, Chivers used vaginal photoplethysmographs, a device that is capable of collecting blood supply in the vagina, and found that women become aroused when they watch videos of both people and animals masturbating or making love.
