Is it the way he walks? The way she talks? Probably not. But researchers at Cornell University are saying that one way to learn sexual orientation is in the eyes. The study, published in Live Science, suggests that pupil dilation can point out someone’s level of arousal depending on which gender they’re eyeing up.
The learn finds that homosexual men who are attracted to other men experience a dilation of pupils when looking at erotic images of the same sex (while straight men responded to women and bisexuals responded to both). The same goes for women, though these results were a bit more complex as straight women in the research tended to dilate to images of both sexes even when they felt feelings of arousal for men.
“So if a man says he’s straight, his eyes are dilating towards women,” the lead researcher Ritch Savin-Williams te

Whether you're gay, straight or somewhere else on the spectrum, the truth of who attracts you could be in your eyes.
Pupil dilation is an accurate indicator of sexual orientation, a new examination finds. When people observe at erotic images and become aroused, their pupils open up in an unconscious reaction that could be used to examination orientation and arousal without invasive genital measurements.
The new study is first large-scale experiment to demonstrate that pupil dilation matches what people report feeling turned on by, said study researcher Ritch Savin-Williams, a developmental psychologist at Cornell University.
How To Narrate If Someone Is Vertical Or Gay
"So if a man says he's straight, his eyes are dilating towards women," Savin-Williams told LiveScience. "And the opposite with gay men, their eyes are dilating to men."

The link between pupil size and arousal goes way back. In 16th-century Italy, women would take eye drops made from the toxic herb Bellado
&#;Queer Eye&#; and the Formerly Straight Guy Who is Now a Gay Dad
As a professional full-time homosexual man, I&#;m obligated to write about Netflix&#;s recent reboot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I sat down with my husband recently to watch the first episode, and after I did, I had a scant thoughts.
My first thought: I hated it.
I&#;ll back up a bit.
The original series aired on Bravo from a kitschy and colorful little show in which five fabulous gay men kidnapped a slovenly vertical dude and taught him the ways of the Gay Force. The gays would give the unbent slob a makeover: a cool haircut, some improve outfits, tips on well eating and entertaining, even a renovated bachelor pad. They&#;d then reveal their Cinderfella to all his friends and family, who would cheer and applaud, and marvel at how those magical gays had sprinkled their fairy dust and transformed their pal into a man who was dashing and cultivated &#; but still direct, Thank God.
The show was popular, even downright linear for its time. It celebrated gay men and everything they brought to the ta
Think You Are Gay? It Shows in Your Eyes, According to Study
Aug. 6, &#; -- They say the eyes are window to the soul, and now scientists say the pupils can also reveal a person's sexual orientation.
For the first time, researchers at Cornell University have used a specialized infrared lens to measure pupillary changes while subjects watched erotic videos to decide which gender they found attractive.
The results of the study were published Aug. 3 in the scientific journal PLoS One.
In most cases, a person's stated sexual orientation matched the dilation of their pupils, which exhibit signs of arousal. Previously, scientists used instruments to measure genital arousal, methods that were "too invasive."
Arousal or "interest" is paired with pupil dilation.
"The idea was to find an unconscious measure," said lead researcher and investigate fellow Gerulf Rieger. "We tried to find measures that were not so invasive, but faithful. The eye tracker infrared camera focuses on the eye while the person watches videos or pictures and me
