heterosexual individuals frequent) as more promiscuous
than those who kiss a man, and that women and men perceive such women as more likely to be
heterosexual than bisexual or lesbian.2 In some ways, this last finding may suggest that women and men do not always perceive female - female kissing as necessarily an expression of women's same - sex desire.
