Homoerotic Motivations in Heterosexual Identifying Women and Men: Facilitating and Inhibiting Factors for Self- Reports

We attempted to identify psycho-social predictors of homoerotic motivations in heterosexual identifying individuals. There was a significant relationship between attitudes towards lesbians and gay men and homoerotic motivations for men and women. For men, felt pressure to conform to gender stereotypes and open-mindedness had a significant relationship to homoerotic motivation.
