The reactions of study participants' pupils revealed that heterosexual men responded most to images of women and homosexual men responded most to images of men. Additionally, researchers found that homosexual women responded most to images of women, and heterosexual women expressed arousal in response to both men and women, though they were more likely to choose to watch men. Previous studies have shown that people's pupils widen in response to seeing others who they find attractive; the new study showed that, indeed, [URL="http://www.myhealthnewsdaily.com/1910-for-women-sex-may-be-improved-by-mindfulness-meditation-.html"]a person's sexuality [/URL]is evident in their pupils' responses. Results also revealed that bisexual men were attracted to both men and women, an idea that has been disputed, and that heterosexual women may be aroused by both genders, despite being straight. "The pupil reacts very quickly, and it is unconscious, so it's a method that gives us a subconscious indicator of sexuality," said lead study author Gerulf Rieger, a researcher at Cornell University. Sex researchers don't always want to rely on people's own reports about who they are sexually attracted to, because cultural and societal pressures can influence what people say, he explained. The findings are detailed today (Aug. 3) in the journal PLoS ONE. [B] Reasons for women's arousal[/B] Researchers asked about 300 study participants to watch 30-second videos of people of both sexes masturbating, and tracked the dilation of participants' pupils in response. The participants also watched simultaneous videos of males and females, and the researchers tracked where they spent more time looking. The finding that [URL="http://www.livescience.com/8779-fertile-women-manly-men.html"]heterosexual women are aroused by both genders [/URL]is in line with other studies. "The female brain is not as differentiated," said Sandra Witelson, a professor of psychiatry at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine of McMaster University. "They don’t have as strong a response for only men, as heterosexual men have for only women." The female tendency to be aroused by both sexes may be because of female brain composition, Witelson said. Study researcher Ritch Savin-Williams, a psychology professor at Cornell, said women's less-distinct preference for men may be the result of a defense mechanism that evolved to protect women from forced sexual intercourse. If a woman can become aroused with any sort of sexual simulation, the lubrication that results can protect her from injuries. [B] Bisexual men[/B] The pupils of men in the study who identified themselves as bisexual responded similarly to videos of males and females, confirming that bisexuality truly exists in nature, Savin-Williams said. This fact has been disputed because of past research suggesting that men who say they are bisexual actually respond only to men, in [URL="http://www.livescience.com/15380-nipples-genitals-brain-map.html"]measurements of genital responses[/URL], he said. Some have suggested that being bisexual is not a true state of sexuality, and is instead a sign of someone transitioning to accept himself as being gay. "I was surprised that the pupil tells us something more in line with what the people tell us, which is not what the penises tell us," Rieger said. In general, studies measuring genital responses are trickier, because such responses vary greatly between people, and are difficult to prompt naturally in a lab setting. Studies on genital responses from Northwestern University researchers have also confirmed the possibility of [URL="http://www.livescience.com/2254-study-bisexuality-experimental-phase.html"]male bisexuality[/URL], Rieger said. Overall, the study results show that pupil dilation tests can be used to assess overarching trends in sexuality in a large population, not necessarily the sexual orientation of individuals, Savin-Williams said. However, the researchers said pupil responses could possibly be used in the future for more specific measurements, like understanding the sexuality of someone on trial for a sex crime, Savin-Williams said.

[QUOTE=valkery;37098638][URL][IMG]http://www.adweek.com/files/imagecache/node-blog/blogs/kayak-pupils.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Something out of Underworld trilogy. :v:
I'm gay and that's a really nice ass.
shit, better sew my eyes close so my mom doesn't know i'm really gay
My eyes dilate at a rate of .01mm/s which reveals that I'm into gay scat bondage on horses!
It was all in the eyes.

so what happens when you trip balls and your pupils become dinner plates?
[QUOTE=Furioso;37099243]so what happens when you trip balls and your pupils become dinner plates?[/QUOTE] You're gay for the duration.
you suddenly find cheetos sexually attractive
does this mean that all women are bisexual jk
[QUOTE=Slacker996;37100436]does this mean that all women are bisexual jk[/QUOTE] No, but it does explain why bisexuality is (generally) more accepted among women than men.
People seriously thought Bisexuality wasn't real? What the fuck
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;37100873]People seriously thought Bisexuality wasn't real? What the fuck[/QUOTE] Unfortunately some people believed it to be the product of angst, which may be true for some really young people, but in a general sense...its not fake at all.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;37100873]People seriously thought Bisexuality wasn't real? What the fuck[/QUOTE] To be fair, a lot of people who come out of the closet says they might be bi as opposed to straight out gay to gauge the persons reaction. If the person is cool with it then they later go and say there 100 percent gay, which kinda leaves a impression. Still stupid to assume its all fake though.
i hope no one will look at my eyes when i look at dogs
Explains why my girlfriends pupils are always dialated to absurd extends. During her highschool years a few of her teachers thought she was high all fucking day.
Sometimes I wish I could be one of these participants in these experiments...
[quote=Retarded Study]Results also revealed that bisexual men were attracted to both men and women[/quote] stop the fucking press
[QUOTE=ItsMozy;37102570][B]Explains why my girlfriends pupils are always dialated to absurd extends.[/B] During her highschool years a few of her teachers thought she was high all fucking day.[/QUOTE] Erm, how? It explains that shes constantly attracted to everyone? Good luck bro...
It's only a matter of time before countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia use this knowledge to start hunting down homosexuals.
I'm not sure how anyone can dispute guys being bisexual, unless they've never actually talked about sex and relationships with a few.
[QUOTE=ItsMozy;37102570]Explains why my girlfriends pupils are always dialated to absurd extends.

My pupils do the same thing to the point where my irises practically disappear and I don't have to be around anything I find attractive for it to happen. Well, unless I have a secret furniture fetish that even I don't know about.

Better make sure there aren't any guys when I walk into dark rooms or else I'll become gay.
