"... the case of one woman who became pregnant from the homosexual affair with a female friend..."

Wait, wait, wait. THIS deserves a great deal more explanation.

@Justin -- It's technically possible. If it was by parthenogenesis, it should have made world headlines because it'd be the first scientifically-confirmed case in human history. Much more likely, if it was true, was her female friend was bi, had recent sex with a man, and she and her female friend engaged in acts which transferred bodily fluids (I leave it to your imagination what positions they might have used).

This is "Jet" magazine, hardly a paragon of factual reporting. It sounds like someone is paraphrasing the Kinsey Report from 1953 for the masses.

Scissoring???

Do you know how to cure MEN's deviant sexual behavior? Castration and a lobotomy.
Does that perhaps express just how retarded I think this 'study' is?

I'm sure this study is correct for some "easy" women. I'm equally sure it's just as correct for some "studly" men. I'm even more sure it's not true for the majority of either of them, but that'll never get published.

I tracked down the original article. "A Clinical Appraisal of Some Sexually Promiscuous Females."

It's available free online:
