The higher a woman's sex drive, the more she desires men and women, according to a study which says heterosexual women are 27 times more likely than heterosexual men to express attraction to their own sex.
Cal State Fullerton psychology professor Richard Lippa says a higher sex drive in men generally intensifies their existing sexual orientation.
"It's a common-sense view that heterosexual men with high sex drives are very interested in women, and gay men with high sex drives are super attracted to men," Lippa said. "The unexpected result of this study is that it suggests that women are more intrinsically bisexual."
Lippa's study was published in the January issue of Psychological Science. For the study he polled 3,600 people, mainly California-based college students. Lippa was also involved in a BBC survey of over 200,000 people, which he says bolstered his findings. He says the BBC data and his study's results do not vary across cultures or age groups.
"These findings suggest that sexual orientation is fundamentally different in men and women," Lippa said. "It almost seems that in most women, there is a latent bisexuality and that high sex drive energizes it."
