I have touched upon this in other blog post, based on studies that I have read I am currently looking for the exact study to post here,While I look I do have a similar study that is in a NY times article.

It talks about the study of how women get stimulated by watching other women. Women get stimulated by animals (”not me saying this”) It is a interesting read.

Here is a quote from the researcher- “looking at a naked man walking on the beach is about as exciting as looking at landscapes.”HTML clipboard

Dr. Chivers, a research fellow at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health at the University of Toronto, says she has data to support this assertion. She recently published results of a study in which she showed people video clips of naked men and women in various sexual and nonsexual situations and measured their genital arousal.

This may show why women don’t like looks at first, also explains why they like dance clubs so much. Doesn’t explain why women would not like it if a random guys starts jacking off in front of them.

This might be just another piece to find out really, what women want.

Previous research suggests that women’s genital arousal is an automatic response to sexual stimuli, whereas men’s genital arousal is dependent upon stimulus features specific to their sexual interests. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a nonhuman sexual stimulus would elicit a genital response in women but not in men. Eighteen heterosexual women and 18 heterosexual men viewed seven sexual film stimuli, six human films and one nonhuman primate film, while measurements of genital and subjective sexual arousal were recorded. Women showed small increases in genital arousal to the nonhuman stimulus and large increases in genital arousal to both human male and female stimuli. Men did not show any genital arousal to the nonhuman stimulus and demonstrated a category-specific pattern of arousal to the human stimuli that corresponded to their stated sexual orientation. These results suggest that stimulus features necessary to evoke genital arousal are much less specific in women than in men.

Quote From: Psychological Science, a journal of the American Psychological Society.

“In contrast to men, both heterosexual and lesbian women tend to become sexually aroused by both male and female erotica, and, thus, have a bisexual arousal pattern.”
