There is a suggestion that the opposite applies to gay men. That a woman who has had more than one son carries higher oestrogen levels in order to combat the repeated doses of testosterone felt by carrying sons. So the finger test (ooh-er) is supposed to apply, as it position in the family.
However data gathered seems to suggest this is just a trend, not anything that can be relied on. There are people trying to determine whether people are born gay or decide to be gay, so you can bet if there was any real proof it would be widely disseminated (!)
