Abstract

In this study, analysis of survey data from 436 self-identified heterosexual females from two southeastern universities reveals that almost half (47.9%) reported having kissed another woman out of sexual experimentation/curiosity, almost one-third (31.3%) reported having had a sexual dream of being with another woman, and almost one-fourth (23.2%) reported having had a sexual fantasy of being with another woman. Same-sex kissing, dreaming, and fantasizing were significantly associated with pro-gay attitudes, including approval of gay people having their own children and gay people adopting their own children. Theoretical explanations (contact hypothesis), implications, and limitations of the study are suggested.
