Women are either bisexual or gay but 'NEVER straight', says new research
WOMEN are "never straight" and are turned on by both naked men AND naked women, according to new research out today.
Women were said to be turned on by both naked men and women
Even if they identify as heterosexual, women were found to still be aroused by attractive females.
Lesbians of course were much more attracted to the female form.
The findings came from a psychology study involving 345 women.
The women were tested on their responses to videos, with their pupils monitored to see if they dilated to sexual stimuli.

It found that straight women were sexually aroused by videos of both attractive men and attractive women, even though they said they were only interested in men.
In contrast, those who identified as lesbians showed much stronger sexual responses to women than to men.
The study was led by Dr Gerulf Rieger from the Department of Psychology at the University of Essex.
Dr Rieger said: "Even though the majority of women identify as straight, our research clearly demonstrates that when it comes to what turns them on, they are either bisexual or gay, but never straight."
The women in the study were made to watch videos to test their response
The women were still attracted to men as well
He added the results indicated that lesbians who may dress more masculine may not necessarily have behaviours more associated with men.
He said: "Although some lesbians were more masculine in their sexual arousal, and others were more masculine in their behaviours, there was no indication that these were the same women.
"This shows us that how women appear in public does not mean that we know anything about their sexual role preferences."
