Abstract :

Human sexual orientation has strong effect on determining sexual schemas, sexual partners and behaviors, so it is important to study it from a multiple perspectives. Growing sexual distortions in the West and its effects on policy, economy and etc. is an issue that could not be ignored. The role of women is substantial, especially in the western culture that beholds them as a commercial object. The Western governments use any means to induce their goals, even in other cultures especially Islamic ones. In the current article we investigated theories about lesbianism in women from a multiple perspectives including biological, cultural and psychosocial types. Also we have examined their strength. One of these theories is feminism – lesbianism theory which has basic role in shaping and inducing false ideas about women and lesbianism in women into culture.
