who can possibly quantify the sexuality of women? It is the only sexuality that has gone “unexplored” in the rhetoric; as if women, end their abberations, fetishes, and excessive dominance ( especially with children) is taboo.And did I mention, not “talkable.” Not examinable?

For heterosexual women, in contrast, sex drive correlated with both attraction to women and attraction to men. Thus, for heterosexual women, sex drive seems to act as a generalized energizer of sexual attractions to both women and men.Uh, doesn't this make them bisexual?

I am increasingly convinced that there are many kinds of sex drives and many kinds of sexual preferences. (How much a person is attracted to a specific gender, how much sexual behavior is limited to a specific gender, how much ‘sexual attraction’ matters in a romance, how much romance is essential/inessential for sexual attraction, etcetera.) I am quite willing to believe that men and women have different statistical likelihoods of having particular combinations of sex drives and preferences – but I reflexively consider it ludicrous to assume that all men are ‘this way’ and all women are ‘that way’. There is simply too much human variety for that to be the case.
