Recent studies investigating the relationship between self-reported sexual desire and attraction to same- and opposite-sex individuals have found that homosexual men's sexual desire is positively correlated with their self-reported attraction to own-sex individuals only, while homosexual women's sexual desire is positively correlated with their self-reported attraction to both men and women. These data have been interpreted as evidence that sexual desire strengthens men's pre-existing (i.e., dominant) sexual behaviors and strengthens women's sexual behaviors in general. Here we show that homosexual men's (n = 106) scores on the Sexual Desire Inventory-2 (SDI-2) were positively correlated with their preferences for exaggerated sex-typical shape cues in own-sex, but not opposite-sex, faces. Contrary to the hypothesis that sexual desire strengthens women's preferences for sexual dimorphism generally, homosexual women's (n = 83) SDI-2 scores were positively correlated with their preferences for exaggerated sex-typical shape cues in opposite-sex faces only. Together with previous research in heterosexual subjects, our findings support the proposal that sexual desire increases the incidence of existing sexual behaviors in homosexual and heterosexual men, and increases the incidence of sexual responses more generally in heterosexual women, although not necessarily in homosexual women.
最近的研究调查了自我报告的性欲望与对同性和异性个体吸引力之间的关系，发现同性恋男性的性欲望与他们自我报告的对自身性别个体的吸引力呈正相关，而同性恋女性的性欲望与他们自我报告的对男性和女性的吸引力都呈正相关。这些数据被解释为性欲望增强了男性已有的（即主导的）性行为，并增强了女性的一般性行为的证据。在这里，我们表明，同性恋男性（n=106）的性欲望量表-2（SDI-2）得分与他们对自身性别面孔中夸大的性别典型形状线索的偏好呈正相关，但与异性性别面孔无关。与性欲望普遍增强女性对性二态性的偏好的假设相反，同性恋女性（n=83）的 SDI-2 得分与她们对异性性别面孔中夸大的性别典型形状线索的偏好呈正相关。结合异性恋受试者的先前研究，我们的发现支持了这样的假设，即性欲望增加了同性恋和异性恋男性中现有性行为的发生率，并增加了异性恋女性的性反应发生率，尽管不一定增加同性恋女性的性反应发生率。
