This just in: female sexuality is confusing

So says Science!
One researcher, Meredith Chivers, measured sexual response in both men and women to various stimuli, taking both physical readings from their genitals and self-reported data on levels of arousal. First, the women showed a physical response to all kinds of stimuli, and second, unlike the men, their objective and subjective responses didn't really match.
"All was different with the women. No matter what their self-proclaimed sexual orientation, they showed, on the whole, strong and swift genital arousal when the screen offered men with men, women with women and women with men. They responded objectively much more to the exercising woman than to the strolling man, and their blood flow rose quickly ? and markedly, though to a lesser degree than during all the human scenes except the footage of the ambling, strapping man ? as they watched the apes. And with the women, especially the straight women, mind and genitals seemed scarcely to belong to the same person. The readings from the plethysmograph and the keypad weren't in much accord. During shots of lesbian coupling, heterosexual women reported less excitement than their vaginas indicated; watching gay men, they reported a great deal less; and viewing heterosexual intercourse, they reported much more. Among the lesbian volunteers, the two readings converged when women appeared on the screen. But when the films featured only men, the lesbians reported less engagement than the plethysmograph recorded. Whether straight or gay, the women claimed almost no arousal whatsoever while staring at the bonobos."
Bonobos?

Well, that was profoundly unhelpful.

i'm sorry Yum. i thought you were asking WHAT they were.
i think they were testing the reaction to beastality. but that's probably more unhelpful than my first post.

i read it. i'm not sure what to think about it. other than maybe we were wrong all along. maybe the roles are actually reversed and our genitals have minds of there own.
i'm not sure why she included bonobos in her studies in the first place. i'm thinking it's suppose to represent the "primal instinct" maybe? i dunno. i'm honestly really confused on that one.
