Are most women bisexual?

I personally think that most women are bisexual because there have been studies that show that females get turned on by both genders regardless of how they sexually identify. Also female homosexuality/bisexuality is less stigmatized that the male equivalent & has never been criminalized in many parts of the world because guys find it hot and many women who have homophobic attitudes only seem to be homophobic towards gay/bi males & not gay/bi females so maybe same sex attractions in women is extremely common. Also many women are very touch with other women and do stuff like holding hands or hugging in the same way that they would hug a guy that they are romantically involved with & nobody bats an eyelid but if guys were to do the same thing they would be called gay plus many women who claim to be "straight" like to check out other women and also watch lesbian porn so it makes me wonder 🤔

I think everyone (including guys) are bi to some degree.
Most women may find some other women physically attractive in some way but that does not mean they are bisexual in some way. I expect the proportion of women to want or have had some sexual relationship/one-off with another woman is higher than men with other men but not a majority.

The OP is I think correct in that there is a greater acceptance or lesser hate of same-sex relations between women than those between two men. Especially in sport.

i disagree I'm a bisexual guy & while I'm 100% sure there are definitely a lot more bisexual guys than it seems like I'm pretty sure not all guys are bi there are definitely a lot of straight guys out there as for women not so much imo

'studies show'.

What 'studies'?

PS - it's common in Muslim countries for men to hold hands. Do you think that means they're bisexual too...?
No. Just because a woman might hold hands with her friend or kiss her on the cheek, it doesn't mean there's attraction there. Just because women might hug their friends more than men and there is less stigma for it, again, does not mean attraction. People are capable of appreciating how someone looks without actually wanting to have sex with them or have a romantic relationship with them. Also, the porn people watch does not determine their sexuality. Many women prefer lesbian pornography because it's considered 'female friendly'. There are even categories on some websites where the 'female friendly' stuff is almost completely same-sex stuff. It doesn't mean anything

Not that it is but many see it as a stereotypical 'norm' in female sport, recently a prominent Australian tennis player has been ridiculed for saying something along the lines of 'tennis is full of lesbians'.

I would not say that females are mostly bi, I think girls are more comfortable in saying another girl looks good compared to boys (age old 'gay' jokes for making such a remark).

There's no correlation between "oh she's gorgeous" and "I like her"

my gf has said many times she would never ever be gay/bi but constantly shows me pictures of girls she finds attractive

That makes absolutely not sense whatsoever & just proves my point. If a woman watches lesbian porn & is turned on by it & using it to get off then that means they are sexually attracted to other girls even if it's just the girls in porn videos so by definition they aren't straight. Idk how hard that is for some people to understand. If a guy watched gay porn nobody would be finding excuses to call them straight

It really doesn't. Plenty of straight women watch lesbian pornography. Until you become a woman, you can't really talk about what women look for in pornography. Studies have shown it's different to men.

Women look for stuff that appeals to their needs. Since a lot of male/female stuff doesn’t address what straight women desire, it makes sense that they’d look elsewhere. Equally, most male/female stuff comes from the male perspective. Not so enjoyable for a woman in a lot of cases, hence the 'female friendly' thing of lesbian pornography.

More males than females identify as homosexual; whilst more females that males identify than bisexual. (There are more self-identified homosexuals than bisexuals).

Also, given the points mad enough in the OP, wouldn't you be saying "all women are omnisexual to some degree?"

Aesthetic attraction, sensual attraction, romantic attraction, and sexual attraction are all different things. You're only describing aesthetic and sensual attraction. (Source: I'm an asexual aromantic, but still experience aesthetic and sensual attraction- so it follows that women can experience these attractions to other women without wanting intercourse with them).

I don't think women like you understand the meaning of heterosexuality. To suggest that womem who are by definition only sexuallyattracted to men are still only sexually attracted to men when they get sexually aroused by women performing homosexual acts on each other means that you would just like to think that it's genuinely possible for a woman to be straight and still be turned on lesbians of course factually speaking they aren't straight but people can identify however they want to. Everyone knows that straight men watcg lesbian porn because they like women which is simple logic so if a supposedly "straight" women likes lesbian porn they obviously like women too.

It says 0.8% of women. Not 'most'.


That study talks about the amount of women that identify as bisexual , however as your points prove there are women who identify as straight but who ate by definition bisexual bringing the actual number of bisexual women to more than 0.8 the most part is just my personal belief

Again dude, it's not that black and white lmao, porn is 90% to a males taste, if there was hetero porn to a woman's taste then ofc they'd watch it. They don't watch lesbian porn to get turned on by the women, they watch lesbian porn because they can/want to relate to it far more than hetero porn.

Not many girls want to be "****ed hard in a taxi cause she can't pay her fare"
