No woman 'totally straight', study says

[JulesMaximus]

Am I the only one that feels almost nothing watching lesbians using dildos? Making out gets me all hot, but dildos just seem so brutish and non-sensuous.

:thumbsup: Yeah, I'm not big on lesbians using tools on each other either. Now, show me a good carpet munching scene with girls who really look like they're into it and I'm like... :wub:

 

[JulesMaximus]

Meh, lesbo porn don't get me off at all; dildos or not. Same with a chick masturbating. I guess my porn needs more action than that.

As for the OP, gee, they realized sexuality is a continuum and not a binary yes/no?! Oh lawdy.

You mean it needs more penis? 😛

NOOOOOOOOOO

missed the link

Don't worry, I'm sure if you look around long enough you might be able to find a lesbian video on the internet. No guarantees though.

Thread winnar.

what was the link?

I'm not sure viewing of Porn can determine Sexual Orientation. What I mean by that is that there are variables involved in how the viewer may be perceiving the content other than merely finding the persons within that content arousing.

Perhaps seeing a woman in arousal is merely reminding themselves of their own feelings when aroused, for eg. Or the particular act being done to a woman in the Porn is something especially preferred by the viewer.

That said, it has always seemed intuitive to me that a woman is more likely to engage in Same-Sex experience. Mainly because women tend to be more affectionate with each other to begin with, both emotionally and physically. Men tend to be much more guarded in those respects.

what was the link?

Girl-Girl porn. If you frequent any well known Free Porn website and fancy that genre, you've likely seen it or something very similar.

just from an actual run of the mill site and not something linked from the article?

that seems kinda strange.

While I think there's something to the idea that many/most women are capable of being aroused by other women I do think the study goes a bit further in that interpretation than the data really permits. The continuum as it were is basically divided into straight, bi and gay, but I suspect there is another category that needs to be squeezed into the continuum.

If we presume that the bulk of women are actually bisexual my problem with that description is that it suggests these women are more or less equally physically and emotionally attracted to other women and I suspect that for many or most of them the attraction is largely limited to the physical and much less so emotionally. In essence, they can enjoy the idea of or actuality of sex with another women even if they couldn't feel completed in such a relationship.

The continuum as it were is basically divided into straight, bi and gay, but I suspect there is another category that needs to be squeezed into the continuum.

Sexuality is no more divided into Straight/Bi/Gay than light is divided into Red/Blue/Green. They are simply easy generalizations we use. Sexuality, like light, is an entire spectrum.

In essence, they can enjoy the idea of or actuality of sex with another women even if they couldn't feel completed in such a relationship.

Some women are that way, others are the opposite, they find it fulfilling to have romantic relationships with women, but need male sexuality to feel fulfilled sexually. Some need both, some neither. To some it does not matter what the gender is, to some that is all that matters. Sexuality is much, much more complex than simple categories. It is more than even a spectrum; it is more like a N-dimensional plane, and people, not just women, fall all over the hypersurface.

OK, what 'judgement' and/or 'assumptions' are we talking about? If you think the studies are a joke then perhaps you have data that suggests otherwise.

There's lots of suspect data out there on the subject and much of it is data driven by polling. When you ask 15 year old boys if they are sexually active you tend to get a lot of false positives whereas asking 15 year old girls you tend to get more false negatives. The data based on these polling research suggests boys start having sex about 6 months before girls do, but if so, who are they having sex with -- there can't be that many horny female school teachers out there even if the news would like you to believe there are.

The use of eye tracking is useful as it isn't under the concious control of the participant. Polling data is largely useless given the desire of the participant to conform to acceptable norms.

They are confusing beauty with sexual attraction. The two are not the same. In order to analyze someone, we size them up, and that includes looking at their naughty parts. If a woman has huge tits, of course women are going to look at them once or even twice out of admiration or shock. That doesn't mean that ALL women want to touch them and even sleep with her. Ridiculous, like you posting a porn link and thinking that would be ok.

The study did not just track what she was looking at, it tracked sexual arousal and linked it to what she was looking at.
