A new scientific study by the University of Essex in the UK shows that the sexual orientation of lesbians in particular can be read at the fingertips. That's what Tuesday's Watts said Tuesday, spokesman for the scientific journal The Archives of Sexual Behavior. According to the psychologist, 32 single twins were examined for a large number of physical characteristics. Among all the twins, one person was heterosexual and the other party was described as lesbian, gay or bisexual.

After previous research, it has already been suggested that our sexual orientation is determined in the uterus and depends on the amount of male hormone to which we are exposed. The more testosterone is abundant, the greater the risk of becoming homosexual or bisexual. According to British researchers, this would explain how it is possible that only one of the two twins falls on a person of the same sex. "Since 100% of identical twins possess the same genes and yet have different sexual preferences, it is not possible that these differences of sexual preference are formed in the uterus and that the hormone testosterone is the cause, "said one of the researchers refers to the difference in growth of finger length

In women, the index finger and the ring finger usually have the same length, while the ring finger in humans is usually slightly longer. The recent British study shows that lesbian participants had a more male ratio of two fingers, the ring finger being slightly longer than the index finger. The difference between pairs of male twins was smaller, but homosexual participants also had a slightly longer ring finger than their heterosexual twin brothers. Dr. Tuesday, Watts says based on his research that "a single look at a person's hand can indicate if a person is homosexual".
