female sexual preference flexibility is genetic

Pas de Deux of Sexuality Is Written in the Genes

I knew it...!!! Bet this article gets a lot of hits...

Presumably the masculinization of the brain shapes some neural circuit that makes women desirable. If so, this circuitry is wired differently in gay men. In experiments in which subjects are shown photographs of desirable men or women, straight men are aroused by women, gay men by men.

Such experiments do not show the same clear divide with women. Whether women describe themselves as straight or lesbian, “Their sexual arousal seems to be relatively indiscriminate — they get aroused by both male and female images,” Dr. Bailey said. “I’m not even sure females have a sexual orientation. But they have sexual preferences. Women are very picky, and most choose to have sex with men.”

Dr. Bailey believes that the systems for sexual orientation and arousal make men go out and find people to have sex with, whereas women are more focused on accepting or rejecting those who seek sex with them.

Why spoil the concept by reading it? In summary does it mean the mother daughter, twins and other family combo's are more likely than you'd think?

Logic? I only wanted to have a look for the pictures. Sadly disappointing.

Most men have always suspected that most women are naturally bisexual. Article only confirms this. I mean, when's the last time a guy said to his friend, "Look at that butt! He's got such sparkling big eyes. He's so handsome." Het guys, I mean. But girls say those kinds of things about other girls all the time.

Explains why y'all girls go to the bathroom together....

Really? Then a typical Australian male is far worse. They would take a look at your interesting helicopter haircut and then snigger upon realising where the cockpit is :lol:

From a related article:

For men, there is a strong concordance between their physiological and psychological states. If they are looking at images that they describe as sexually arousing, they get erections. When the images are not to their expressed taste or sexual orientation, however, their genitals remain unmoved.


My genitals are unmoved by your image! :lol:

On the other hand:

Women's genitals, it seems, respond to all sex, all the time. Show a woman scenes of a man and a woman having sex, or two women having sex, or two men, or even two bonobos, Dr. Chivers said, and as a rule her genitals will become measurably congested and lubricated, although in many cases she may not be aware of the response


Now that's hot! :eek:

Lo Pan: Shut up, Mr. Burton! You are not brought upon this world to get it!

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there -- MONICA BALDWIN
