sometimes i wish i wasnt attracted to women at all because it makes me feel like a creepy agphon
at least im bisexual instead of just liking women but i often feel like i like women more than men
idk im probably brainwormed and spend too much time on this board
You actually arent, its just comp het, you actually only like men if you werent repressing your sexuality.
what
doesnt make sense
men are pressured to like women, trans women are men
guess all cis women are creepy agphons
>We used fMRI to investigate neural correlates of responses to erotic pictures and videos in heterosexual (N=26), bisexual (N=26), and homosexual (N=24) women, ages 25–50. [...] We found that homosexual women’s subjective and neural responses reflected greater bias towards female stimuli, compared with bisexual and heterosexual women, whose responses did not significantly differ. [...] Bisexual women tended to show more mixed patterns, with activations more responsive to female stimuli in sensory processing areas, and activations more responsive to male stimuli in areas associated with social cognition.

>Women’s, unlike men’s, sexual attraction patterns may be less affected by a partner’s sex and more affected by contextual, cultural, and social factors [...]. Based on the responses from volunteers in sexual arousal research, women are, on average, sexually aroused to both male and female sexual stimuli, regardless of their sexual orientation. Contrarily, most men are sexually aroused to either males or females, consistent with their sexual orientation. This sex difference was described with both measures of sexual arousal used in the present research: genital response [...] and pupil dilation while viewing sexual stimuli [...].

pseudoscience
brain scans cannot directly measure sexual arousal
they just make the studies say whatever their pre-existing beliefs were by manipulating the technology
>brain scans cannot directly measure sexual arousal
they do and you're seething because you can't lie anymore if the brain activity betrays your true orientation
also brain scans are consistent with pupil dilation and genital response anyway
>they do
how?
explain in your own words how you KNOW what they are measuring is specifically sexual arousal
explain how they don't? the studies are right there youre the one that should be disproving them
your job to prove your own claims, not mine
not that anon but the studies are right there their attempt to prove their results is right there, so if theyre wrong somebody needs to correct them..
>explain in your own words
no
>how you KNOW what they are measuring is specifically sexual arousal
"neural correlates of responses to erotic pictures and videos"
even if thats true im not the same as a cis woman
i mean that there is a huge difference between a bisexual cis woman and me
mainly the fact that im male
btw
>Lesbians are the exception because they tend to be more aroused to their preferred sex than the other sex, a pattern typically seen in men. [...] Although both studies confirmed that lesbians were more male-typical in their sexual arousal and nonsexual characteristics, on average, there were no indications that these 2 patterns were in any way connected. Thus, women’s sexual responses and nonsexual traits might be masculinized by independent factors.

Neuroimaging assessments may shed light on the neural systems that are involved in responding to a given paradigm. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a neuroimaging approach that allows for the indirect assessment of brain activity by tracking ratios of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood a proxy for neural firing. When used in the context of presenting erotic stimuli, this non-invasive neural measure could provide a converging line of evidence for interpreting the genital and subjective arousal findings described above. In this study, we used fMRI to specifically focused on the “reward system” in order to address the question: to what extent is there an affective significance to findings from the literature on women’s sexual orientation and genital arousal?
The part of the “reward system” that we focused on is the ventral striatum, a dopamine-sensitive area of the brain that is a reliable measure of reward-related processing–and in particular, wanting and “incentive motivation”28,29–including with respect to sexual orientation30. Most neuroimaging studies of sexual response have focused on men31,32, but the ventral striatum has also been found to reliably activate in studies of women’s responses to erotic stimuli33,34,35. However, until now, no studies have measured neural responses to erotic stimuli in bisexual women.
>tfw exclusively gynephilic
>tfw think dick is gross so not even t4t
it's over as FUCK bros... i saw a post earlier today saying that one of those like unshaven clearly autistic af dudes in a pink frilly dress probably was a t4c transbian and honestly it really hurt my feelings
i get you more or less and i like dick too but i just cant stand other trannies most of the times and i just like cis women more
i feel barely different from a straight dude even if i have breasts and my dick doesnt work anymore
