Sociosexual behavior in male and female homosexuals: a study in sex differences
Abstract:
The results of a post hoc comparison of two West German studies on male and female homosexuals are reported. The lesbian sample consisted of 151 subjects, 18-35 years of age. The male homosexual sample included 581 males of the same age range. The data of both studies are compared with regard to "coming out," heterosexual experiences, homosexual activity, partner mobility, and partner relations. The results indicate that being a woman tends to influence the sexual behavior of lesbians more than being a homosexual.
