Back to the gutter today!
This study reports that when men look at pictures of couples having sex, they look first at the eyes or faces of the women before straying south while women’s eyes went straight for the goods. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. And here’s why.
Hey, if you’re thinking about getting nekkid with someone, it’s kinda nice to know if they’re thinking the same. Clues that a man is aroused are easily found with a glance in the right direction. Women’s bodies aren’t quite so overt in that regard. The best evidence is found in facial expressions or dilated pupils. Guys know this, regardless of boob-staring stereotypes.
But the study doesn’t tell the whole story. The images used were overtly sexual. What about general walking around situations? Are women any more demure than men about sizing up the goods? An informal survey of female friends suggests that package-checking, while probably not first on the list, is certainly not last. Especially if the pants are tight or the bulge impressive.
I admit to some guilt in that regard. As well as some wildly inappropriate mental images at the most incredibly inopportune times. But I generally manage to carry on with business and hope it’s not too obvious. At least I don’t have to worry about my pants giving me away. I have no idea how much is visible in my face.
