- For women, sexual orientation based on gender is not a good model for their arousal patterns. It turns out that women tend to prefer being dominated in the bedroom on average, and that this might be more analogous to the idea of being "straight" in men. Women who do not like to be dominated in the bedroom are a minority, and may be considered to be more analogous to "gay". Women who do not like being dominated tend to have a revulsion towards being dominated, rather analogous to the way men tend to be disgusted by the opposite sexual orientation of their own. It does not appear to be the case that women who are into being dominated are disgusted by vanilla sex, but rather, aren't much aroused by vanilla sex.
