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".

  Thanks for the link, but you are wrong. The abstract starts with:

  Studies with volunteers in sexual arousal experiments suggest that women are, on average, physiologically sexually aroused to both male and female sexual stimuli.

  It goes on to discuss some differences with lesbians, but female bisexuality is a central topic.

  A positive result in a sexual arousal test is enough to make that conclusion?

  The abstract says "women are, on average".

    No less "enough" than other bits it talks about. Have fun splitting hairs.
