As in the gays, lesbians too have a male and female partner but when we say male the person does not necessarily dress like a man. It is only visible through certain behavioural patterns, that is which need the person wants fulfilled. Hence there is no definite pattern to their appearance, as in the case of transvestites who like to dress like a woman or a man to show their preference. It is believed that sometimes a bad experience too make a lesbian. But it is not necessarily true in all the cases because more often than not the preference of ones sexuality is a natural one.
Many women just prefer the emotional and sexual bonds that are formed with other women.
Amazing facts were revealed through a study done on oystercatcher birds. Researchers believe that if a female oystercatcher cannot find a mate, she sometimes attacks another female who has one. Sometimes she succeeds in driving away the original woman while other times the woman manages to drive away the other woman . But sometimes a surprising thing happens and all three of them begin to live together in harmony with the two female birds indulging in lesbian sex while in turn also taking turns with the male. Statistics show that only about two per cent of these birds form lesbian relationship.
