More than half of women are attracted to other women - and it gets more pronounced as they get older


20th October 20

Most women are naturally bi-curious when it comes to sex, a new report has discovered. And what's more, it becomes more pronounced the older they get. The latest research simply claims it perfectly normal.

Boise State University found in a group of 484 heterosexual women, 60 percent were sexually attracted to other women; 45 percent had kissed a woman, and 50 percent had fantasies about the same sex.

Elizabeth Morgan, a professor of psychology at Boise State University, studies same-sex attractions among heterosexuals and finds that straight women often feel more than a friendly affection for other women.

Other data suggests upwards of 20 percent of women are attracted to other women. It's claimed this could be linked to the way women socialise from chatting on the phone for hours to snuggling during chick flicks.

It's said often women's friendships are barely distinguishable from romantic relationships. Prof Morgan said: 'Women are encouraged to be emotionally close to each other.

'That provides an opportunity for intimacy and romantic feelings to develop.'
