Flawed sexuality or flawed study?
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and a whole lot of other Greeks and Romans were actively bisexual. Also, bisexuality has been extensively observed in other species and often commented on in this forum. Hard to believe that this is all due to closeting or self deception. It seems that such overwhelming evidence for real bisexuality calls the methodology of this particular study into question. I always have doubts about such studies that use simplistic measures for very complex behaviors. In particular, restricting arousal to visual inputs while ignoring smell and touch seems to restrict any possible conclusions. Also, maybe the females whose pictures were shown just weren't the bisexual subjects type. I'm a heterosexual (if memory serves), but very few females (homo sapiens) turn me on.
As for Phat's comment:
Sexuality is a lot more than arousal patterns.
(post no. 10)
Well, no. Sexuality is exactly arousal patterns. But arousal can refer to a hole lot of stuff other than genitals, which is probably what this study was restricted to.

LGBT Pride Month - (no, not a sandwich).
Is it irony, coincidence, or design that this topic is posted right in the middle of LGBT "Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Pride Month" (google on it)? Perhaps to answer all these questions we can go right to the horse's mouth (no pun intended - well, maybe a tiny pun).
