Abstract
Unraveling the Mystery of \u201cThe Specificity of Women\u2019s Sexual Response and Its Relationship with Sexual Orientations\u201d: The Social Construction of Sex and Sexual Identities
Highlights
In a critical review and of research examining women’s sexual response across a range of sexual orientations, Chivers (2017) draws a number of conclusions
Chivers completes her review with an evaluation of ten ‘‘hypotheses’’which could explain why‘‘androphilic women continue to be a mystery,’’because their professed‘‘sexual orientation’’is at odds with their sexual response
The positivist emphasis on facts and negation of values results in an absence of reflexivity
Summary
In a critical review and of research examining women’s sexual response across a range of sexual orientations, Chivers (2017) draws a number of conclusions. We need to look at the cultural and relational context of the‘‘androphilic’’women taking part in experimental sex research, in particular their discursive constructions of sex and sexual identity, in order to understand Chivers’ findings of gender-non-specific sexual response.
