The first time I read this, I wasn't very convinced. Just because there may be an imbalance in the women that have been tested, it does not mean that these women were born with this imbalance. Difference in sexuality, I think, will certainly influence biological structures of the reproductive system. Over time, there should be a considerable difference (I would think, again) between women who take dick, and women who don't. One major difference that comes to mind is the process of reproduction. I think it has been proven that women who do not reproduce (give birth) are at a significantly higher risk for developing uteran cancer. I think the same may go for this condition in the ovaries.

Although this article doesn't convince me, somehow I still get this feeling that there IS a hormone difference b/w heterosexuals and homosexuals. I do think that there is SOMETHING biological ... but its not nature against nurture; rather, I believe that both play a large role in the development/discovery of sexual preference.
