"I think a lot of women who end up seriously dating another woman were probably lesbians to begin with but afraid to admit it to themselves."

Among the male subjects, however, the straight men were turned on only by erotic films with women, the gay ones by those with men. "We found that women's sexual desire is less rigidly directed toward a particular sex, as compared with men's, and it's more changeable over time," says the study's senior researcher, J.

Just MY opinion here (in other words, I don't think that there's any scientific fact to back me up! LOL!)...I think that there are more women who are willing to admit it.
