Subject: visual attraction
Any experts in the science of sexuality out there?  I informed my eighth
grade science class that males are visually stimulated sexually more than
women are.  I told them this was "programed in their biology" and part of
the way their nervous system operated their sex organs. I concluded that as
a result of this biological difference in men's "sexual programming"
society has adopted many different attitudes about sex for men and for
women.  When someone questioned me on how exactly I knew this, I realized I
didn't have any definitive scientific proof to offer.
Did I make all this up, or has science actually proved that men are more
visually stimulated sexually?  Anyone know or know where I could find out?
Thanks!  Mike Schulist
