"Men looked at the female face much more than women and both looked at the genitals comparably" said lead author Heather Rupp (note: she is a woman) of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction.at Indiana University.The findings are detailed in the journal Hormones and Behaviour.
"The eye-tracking data suggested what women paid most attention to was dependant upon their hormonal state."Rupp said""women using hormonal contraceptives looked more at the genitalia , while women who were not using hormonal contraceptives paid more attention to contextual elements of the photographs"
interesting! You know, this reminds me of the viagra angle - ever since Sex and the City showed that episode where Samantha got addicted to it as an aphrodisiac.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, I don't think viagra is a hormone at all, so this angle, though popularly believed, may be purely psychological. All the more that a female is using it. Remember, it's prescribed for erectile dysfunction. (Someone with empirical evidence, please inform us otherwise.)
Strangely enough, it was proven that Viagra can be used to extend the life of cut flowers (i.e. prevent wilting).
I was told long ago a Panadol (pain killer) works just as fine...
