New research has suggested that even the most heterosexual of women find some other women to be sexier than a man. At the recent NewFest Film Festival that was held in New York, a documentary entitled "Bi the Way" was previewed. The premise of the documentary is that straight women may actually be a bit inclined to like the fairer sex, even if they ultimately don't act on their instincts.

In the documentary, Dr. Meredith Chivers discusses the results of research she conducted on the subject. Chivers, who is a research fellow at the University of Toronto's Center for Addiction and Mental Health, has also recently published the results from a study that she conducted. During the study, people were shown video clips depicting naked women and men in both nonsexual and sexual situations. The subjects were hooked up to a photoplethysmograph, a device that gauged their genital arousal. It was found that heterosexual women seemed equally aroused while watching naked men doing various mundane activities, such as doing yoga, as they were while watching boring footage of landscape shots of the Himalayas.

However, while watching a naked woman exercising, their arousal went through the roof. Although they found the naked woman to be erotic, the clip wasn't all that got them all hot and bothered. Clips showing masturbation or couples of various genders having sex also got their blood pumping. It seemed that gender didn't necessarily matter when it came to arousal, but to the activity that was being performed. Either way, knowing that your seemingly straight girlfriend could be turned on by a hot chick may end up working in your favor. Use this study as a piece in your next bedside conversation.
