Thirty women aged 17 to 30 years with documented prenatal exposure to the nonsteroidal synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) were compared to thirty women of similar demographic characteristics from the same medical clinic who had a history of abnormal Pap smear findings. A subsample of the DES women were also compared to their DES-unexposed sisters. Sexual orientation in its multiple components was assessed by systematic semistructured interviews. In comparison to both control groups, the DES women showed increased bisexuality and homosexuality. However, about 75% of the DES women were exclusively or nearly exclusively heterosexual. Nonhormonal and hormonal interpretations of these findings are discussed.
将30名年龄在17至30岁之间、有产前接触非甾体合成雌激素己烯雌酚（DES）记录的女性，与来自同一医疗诊所、具有相似人口统计学特征且有巴氏涂片检查异常结果病史的30名女性进行了比较。还将DES女性的一个子样本与其未接触DES的姐妹进行了比较。通过系统的半结构化访谈评估了性取向的多个组成部分。与两个对照组相比，DES女性表现出双性恋和同性恋倾向增加。然而，约75%的DES女性完全或几乎完全是异性恋。讨论了对这些发现的非激素和激素解释。
