The within-gender concordance suggests that individual differences be related concordance.

Only based overall feelings arousal identity, heterosexual lowest Stimulus significantly influenced for most groups women: Ambiphilic female male stimuli. These findings suggest (particularly one’s gynephilia) explain some seen
