The two chemils seemed to be leadg a double life, playg the role of odor wh one sex and of pheromone wh Swedish rearchers have now repeated the experiment but wh the addn of gay men as a third group.

The gay men rpond to the two chemils the same way as did women, Dr. Savic reports, as if the hypothalam's rponse is termed not by blogil sex but by the owner's sexual Savic said that she had also studied gay women, but that the data were "somewhat plited" and not yet ready for fdg is siar to a report 1991 by Dr. Simon LeVay that a small regn of the hypothalam is twice as large straight men as women or gay men.
"The big qutn is not where homosexualy om, but where do sexualy e om, " said Dr. Savic se the bras of gay men uld be eher a e of their sexual orientatn or an effect of . Savic's fdg uld be jt a nsequence of straight and gay men's g their bra different ways.

The occurrence of male homosexualy both members of a tw pair is 22 percent nonintil tws but ris to 52 percent intil men have fewer children, meang that Darwian terms, any geic variant that promot homosexualy should be quickly elimated om the populatn.

Smellg a male pheromone prompts the same bra activy homosexual men as do heterosexual women, a new study has found. It activated the anterr hypothalam and medial preoptic area of gay men and straight women alike. So the bra-activatn of gay men by AND may ntribute to sexual orientatn of those men, or simply be the rult of their orientatn and sexual behavur.
But addn to that activatn, AND exced the bra areas associated wh sexual behavur for female and gay male participants, as did the EST for straight men. Savic’s team has also nducted siar experiments wh gay women and the rearchers are currently analysg the rults.

GAY PHEROMONE STUDY - OFFICIAL RULTS RELEASED
Bisexual men are perceived to sound more mascule than men who are straight, acrdg to a study of Atralian subjects.Amics at the Universy of Sydney pared the voic of gay, straight and bisexual men a study volvg 160 people.In the rearch led by clil psychologist Jam Morandi, people were reced to analyse the voic of 60 men, 20 of whom were gay, 20 straight and 20 bisexual.
They were then asked to rate the men on their sexual orientatn g a sle om zero (exclively heterosexual) to 10 (exclively homosexual).Listeners were also asked to rate each man’s perceived level of femy or masculy the voic on a siar sle.The men volved the study were asked to rerd themselv on a smartphone recg the first two l of the Atralian natnal anthem.Voice sampl were then modified to remove any background noise while volume levels were ma the same to ensure nsistency.Rults om the study showed listeners uld distguish between gay and straight men’s voic wh an accuracy of 62 per cent, apparently nsistent wh prev rearch.However, the study participants uld not terme any differenc between bisexual and straight men’s voic wh any gree of accuracy.

The thors said their rearch showed bisexual men’s voic were perceived as beg more exclively attracted to women pared wh both gay and straight men’s voic.Bisexual men’s voic were rated as more mascule than both gay and straight men’s voic.Rearchers claimed the abily to intify a man’s bisexual inty om his voice alone uld have cril social implitns such as helpg to rce feelgs of alienatn.‘Voice may unter visibily many bisexuals feel’An abstract of the study, tled Can listeners tect if a man is bisexual om his voice alone, reads: “The prent study examed whether bisexual men n be intified om their voic ak to how gay men n be intified on their voice alone.“If this is the se, voice may be an important target of discrimatn on the one hand but may also unter the visibily many bisexuals feel (if their bisexual inti n be apprehend by their voice alone, whout explic disclosure required).“The fdgs may also she light on whether bisexual male voic, like gay male voic, differ om straight voic terms of their genr non-nformy – a qutn that to date has not been examed.”But amics noted the rearch was limed on the grounds all men who participated the study are Atralian, which may not be reflected among wir cultur.And the thors nced the study did not ntrol for the rerdg environment or microphone-to-mouth distance, which uld have affected the qualy of the voice sampl.The thors said the fdgs suggted that while the voic of bisexual men the sample were perceived as more mascule and attracted to femal, listeners did not associate this imprsn wh bisexualy.As a rult, while bisexual men may appear to be at lower risk of facg voice-based intifitn and discrimatn than gay men, they may often be mistaken as beg straight.The study was published the Journal of Sex Rearch.

BT GAY PHEROMON TO ATTRACT MEN
Specifilly, participants wh an orientatn to men (straight women and gay men) rpond to male pheromon but not female pheromon. Self-intified gay men and straight women were more likely to perceive masculy when exposed to the male pheromone, but had no reactn to the female pheromone. Straight men perceived the female pheromone as arog and the male pheromone as simply an odor, while both gay men and women perceived the male pheromone as arog and the female pheromone as simply an odor.
That study did not specify the rults for gay women, bee the data were apparently “somewhat plited” and not yet ready for publitn.
Rearchers have also recently found certa geic signatur that gay men have mon, suggtg another geic ponent to the plex qutn as to what term sexual orientatn.
