The strict gender orientations that have defined men and women for years are on pretty shaky ground, according to a new study. According to this study, there are no 100% heterosexuals.
Research, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, argues that There are no 100% heterosexuals, neither in women nor in men.
The researchers showed women and men different types of pornographic material and studied the physiological responses to this material, and above all pupil dilation (dilation of the pupils), which is a sign of sexual arousal.
The study showed that they women have dilated pupils both during sexual intercourse between a man and a woman as well as during sexual intercourse between a woman and another woman.
The same was observed in men. They were shown a photo of a woman masturbating, and their pupils dilated. They also showed them photo of a man also here the pupils dilated a little.
Study author Ritch C. Savin-Williams says it is the idea of bisexuality is becoming more and more acceptable, especially in women. Men still struggle with patriarchal stigma.
Otherwise, quite a few studies have already been carried out, where they came to the conclusion that women are naturally bisexual.
