Literature examining gender-specificity of sexual response has not investigated the sexual arousal patterns of women with mixed-gender sexual interests. This study examined the genital and self-reported sexual response of women endorsing one or more dimensions of bisexuality (i.e., sexual identity, sexual attractions, romantic attractions, sexual fantasies, sexual behaviors) in response to audiovisual films that varied by gender and sexual activity level. Contrary to hypotheses, women exhibited and reported greater sexual response to female than male stimuli, for all dimensions of bisexuality. Consistent with our hypotheses and previous research, women's sexual responses generally increased with the level of sexual activity occurring in the films. Implications for our understanding of women's sexual response and sexual interests are discussed
