"Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited"

I'm ashamed to be an alumnus of a university that would support this study. There are some doofuses in Northwestern's Psych department who disavowal bisexuality (especially in men), but the arguably more intelligent and open-minded Gender Studies department accepts it.

I'm bisexual, but I'm more likely to be attracted to a certain type of woman. I wouldn't be surprised if this type wasn't even shown on the 'arousal test' images. I also know Gerulf... he's a nice guy, but works for one of the doofuses with questionable test methods.

Unlike you, Plum, I don't have to rely on the article for my information. I actually went to the university and personally know the people questioned in this article.

"Okay, but what are you accusing them of, then? Manipulation of results or just questionable methodology? Because as I said before, I found their methodology insufficient, as well."

Knowing what big trouble Bailey got in for his last study of transgendered people -- many of whom accused him of sleeping with them as a part of his "study" -- I don't think questionable methodology or manipulation of results is out of the question.

I actually think any study of sexuality (however heinous) is interesting, and I feel a mixture of annoyance and pride that this one is being conducted at my alma mater. It helps my case that so many other people from the left are immediately critical of what Bailey says. It's not clear whether his ideas will attain the legitimacy necessary for him to remembered like Kinsey. Many people at Northwestern hope they don't, and some say this in his 400+ person class on Human Sexuality...

To his credit, he's responsive.

"Seated alone in a laboratory room, the men then watched a series of erotic movies, some involving only women, others involving only men."

As a friend of mine said, "Maybe it just means they like watching gay porn."

I know plenty of gay men who are more aroused by straight porn than gay erotica. All this study seems to show conclusively is that most bisexual men like gay porn.

That is soooo true for MANY, maybe Most gay guys, RobbO. But it doesn't explain all the hetero sex I've had since moving to Gaytown.
