Meaning they give no actual indication of our preferences. Perhaps it is because the scientific community within the field of human and animal sexuality, has only started focusing on bisexuality relatively recently, whereas before it was completely based on homosexuality, which creates some inherent cultural bias within the studies.

I did find this though: The effects of sex, sexual orientation, and digit ratio (2D:4D) on mental rotation performance. - PubMed - NCBI

I don't see how a correlation has been established between 2D:4D and sexual orientation.

Please elaborate on how you connected the two things.

I didn't, researchers have. That is homosexual males tend to have very similar ratios to heterosexual women, and homosexual females tend to have similar ratios to heterosexual men. Bisexual men and women correlate with neither (homosexual or heterosexuals), though they are closer to their heterosexual counterparts. This is also stated in the article that that the other poster linked under the picture with instructions on how to measure the length of your fingers.

I see I'll look at the links more closely when I get a chance.

I'm thinking of a beautiful British lass to upload here, and to be honest, I genuinely can't think of one.

Not quite.

It shows MRT performance differences between heterosexuals and homosexuals of both genders. That's not the same as saying that homosexual males and heterosexual females have the same digit ratios/MRT performance.

True, that study itself doesn't say that. I had read it somewhere else, just not sure where.

P.S. Im a fan of Emma Watson. Especially in this cowgirl photo shoot.

Back in the 90s the UK had beauty icons such as a young Kate Moss.

Now it has ... Emma Watson?
