Chemical sexuality
Reuters reports on another link between sex hormones and sexuality.
PCOS is strongly linked to high levels of androgens (like testosterone). It's now also strongly linked to lesbians:
"The prevalence of PCOS is two and a half times, almost three times, as high in lesbian women compared to heterosexual women."
The London clinic was among the first centers in Europe to offer fertility treatment to lesbians and single women. In a study of 618 women treated at the clinic, Agrawal discovered that 38 percent of the lesbian women had PCOS, compared to 14 percent of the heterosexual women.
Now, 518 isn't a huge sample size by anyone's standards, but it's yet another link between testosterone levels and sexuality.
