Today's New York Times Thursday Styles section has a very intriguing piece on a recent study conducted by a Dr. Meredith Chivers at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health at the University of Toronto.
In the study, Dr. Chivers "showed people video clips of naked men and women in various sexual and nonsexual situations and measured their genital arousal."
Heterosexual women, Dr. Chivers and her colleagues found, were no more excited by athletic naked men doing yoga or tossing stones into the ocean than they were by the control footage: long pans of the snowcapped Himalayas. When straight women viewed a video of a naked woman doing calisthenics, on the other hand, their blood flow increased significantly.
So, women find the female body more attractive. Interesting. Yet slightly obvious. But Dr. Chivers' point is that there is "a growing body of scientific evidence that places female sexuality along a continuum between heterosexuality and homosexuality, rather than as an either-or phenomenon."
But, she's also quick to point out that this does not make heterosexual women, well, homosexual.
"To conclude that women are bisexual on the basis of their sexual responding overlooks the complexity and multidimensionality of female sexuality," she wrote in her paper. She did allow that the apparent flexibility of women "may be related to greater potential for bisexuality in women than in men."
What do you think? As a woman, are you more attracted to the female form or the male form? Men, do you ever find yourselves attracted to the male form? It's a happy place here - share your thoughts below!

The reason some individuals develop a gay sexual identity has not been definitively established – nor do we yet understand the development of heterosexuality. The American Psychological Association (APA) takes the position that a variety of factors impact a person's sexuality. The most recent literature from the APA says that sexual orientation is not a choice that can be changed at will, and that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors...is shaped at an early age...[and evidence suggests] biological, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality (American Psychological Association 2010).

Bibcode : 2004JThBi.230...33B . doi : 10.1016/j.jtbi.2004.04.035 . PMID 15275997 . Bogaert argues that: "The prevalence of male homosexuality is debated. One widely reported early estimate was 10% (e.g., Marmor, 1980; Voeller, 1990). Some recent data provided support for this estimate (Bagley and Tremblay, 1998), but most recent large national samples suggest that the prevalence of male homosexuality in modern western societies, including the United States, is lower than this early estimate (e.g., 1–2% in Billy et al., 1993; 2–3% in Laumann et al., 1994; 6% in Sell et al., 1995; 1–3% in Wellings et al., 1994). It is of note, however, that homosexuality is defined in different ways in these studies. For example, some use same-sex behavior and not same-sex attraction as the operational definition of homosexuality (e.g., Billy et al., 1993); many sex researchers (e.g., Bailey et al., 2000; Bogaert, 2003; Money, 1988; Zucker and Bradley, 1995) now emphasize attraction over overt behavior in conceptualizing sexual orientation." (p. 33) Also: "...the prevalence of male homosexuality (in particular, same-sex attraction) varies over time and across societies (and hence is a "moving target") in part because of two effects: (1) variations in fertility rate or family size; and (2) the fraternal birth order effect. Thus, even if accurately measured in one country at one time, the rate of male homosexuality is subject to change and is not generalizable over time or across societies." (p. 33)

Heterosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between people of the opposite sex or gender . As a sexual orientation , heterosexuality is "an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions" to people of the opposite sex; it "also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions." [1] [2] Someone who is heterosexual is commonly referred to as straight.

Along with bisexuality and homosexuality , heterosexuality is one of the three main categories of sexual orientation within the heterosexual–homosexual continuum . [1] Across cultures, most people are heterosexual, and heterosexual activity is by far the most common type of sexual activity. [3] [4]
