Discussion
This study is the first to provide empirical evidence that women’s first sexual encounters with a female partner are initiated for largely similar motives, regardless of their self-reported sexual identity in young adulthood although previous work (Hatfield, Luckhurst, & Rapson, 2011; Leigh, 1989; Whitley, 1988) has theorized about potential differences in sexual motivations based on women’s sexual identities. The exclusion is the fact that MH and LGB ladies tended to report greater motivations linked to closeness and research, in comparison to EH females, to be appropriate because of their very very first same-sex contact.
