Gay women tend to be exclusively sexually attracted to women, while straight women are more likely to be aroused by both sexes, a study says.

Researchers asked 345 women about their sexual preferences and compared these with their arousal levels when shown videos of attractive men and women.

They found 28% of straight women were mostly aroused by their preferred sex, compared with 68% of gay women.

The University of Essex study concluded that no woman is "totally straight".

    I think this doesn't affect guys because we are pretty much hardwired to compete and see fellow males as a threat

    Maybe, but seeing as how there have been well-documented societies where male-male sex was common (e.g. ancient Greece), I think we need to at least question that idea that it's "hardwired". And the animal kingdom? Male apes have been shown to get it on with each other too.

    Actually most of Greek culture frowned on actual penetration and considered the one who was penetrated to be the weak one, thus reinforcing what I said. See Plato's writings on the subject for more information.

      That is irrelevant.

      We are talking about being aroused and attraction as per the article. NOT penetrative sex or being in a homosexual relationship.

      These are VERY different things.
