The NYT: Validating All Your Girl on Girl Fantasies

12bisex-600.jpgThe NYT’s Style Section, ever the bearer of cutting edge cultural revelations, today brings us what is sure to be the most emailed article for the foreseeable future, not to mention the new corner stone of every man’s late night argument that a little “lesbian” love is completely natural!

Heterosexual women, Dr. Chivers and her colleagues found, were no more excited by athletic naked men doing yoga or tossing stones into the ocean than they were by the control footage: long pans of the snowcapped Himalayas. When straight women viewed a video of a naked woman doing calisthenics, on the other hand, their blood flow increased significantly.
Who could have guessed women were so complicated! Perhaps the Doctor and her colleagues should have sat in on a Sex and the City screening and measured the blood flow of women as they viewed Carrie’s closet: that seems just about as reliable by way of an explanation.
