Lead Them Not Into Visual Temptation

[Mountain Girl]

That photo is probably photoshopped, but Christina Hendricks is definitely beautiful.

Here is a young Stephen Colbert. Yum!

[debrand]

Most of the men in Game of Thrones just make my middle aged loins super happy.

She is beautiful

Nah! I'm not visiually stimulated at all.

[Deleted08]

You rang :D

Cesare, meow :D

Fundy bloggers repeat the "Men are visual, women are not" stuff like it's gospel. Does anyone know if there is any evidence to back them up, or to knock them down?

ETA: I am enjoying the anecdotal evidence on this thread, I must say.

Yes, I'm enjoying the anecdotal evidence on this thread, too.

Hey, how did this get here?

Trying and failing to post a pic of Matt Bomer in those red pajama pants and nothing else.

Pfft. If women were visually stimulated this would be hot.

Yeah, if we were visually stimulated that would totally be distracting. Good thing we're... not...

...what was I saying?

[Minerva]

You guys DO know about the Provacateuse site, yes? No? Well, then, you're in for a treat.

Behold! Reams and reams and REAMS of high-quality beefcake (and cheesecake!), organized in highly aesthetic categories, for the visual consumption of (primarily) women.

Well, there goes my evening...

Sometimes I wonder if men actually see things (visually) different from women. Perhaps a sunset is even more beautiful through their eyes. How awesome to be able to visually enjoy God’s creations so fully.

I think there have been some studies that have shown people pictures and measured their brains/genitals to see what happens.

I don't have time to look at them now and try to figure if they are decent studies or not, but I've always been pretty visual, and I think it's generalised rubbish. Even if it's true, it's probably only a slight difference with huge differences in people. But I haven't read the studies.

[Lainey]

I ALMOST added a ScarJo pic, thanks!

Yes, thank you. :D I'm fond of her. I also think Kat Dennings is quite lovely.

But because I'm straight, I'm going to need a Colin Firth pic. I'd ask for Dwight Yoakam, but I know nobody will deliver that. I'm too lazy to post my own tonight.

KEEP TRYING.

*heart racing at the mere thought*

*heart racing at the mere thought*

You mean this one? ;)

And while we're on the subject of racing hearts, lets see some more Channing Tatum:

Yes please.

[JaChelle Sugar]

Those pics, oh yeahh.

when I was trying to find more pics, I found this one.

Nope not tempted in the slightest oh no.

[theologygeek]

Here is a young Stephen Colbert. Yum!

He looks like a crazed serial killer. lol

[OohLaLa]

Well now it makes sense. Clearly my mom was always so eager to watch George of the Jungle when I was little with me because of the fascinating storyline. Because if women aren't visually stimulated, it couldn't possibly have had anything to do with this:

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that women tend to have better colour perception than men.

Oh, and here's a scholarly article saying as much: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21675035

I love how these women either don't know or somehow ignore that women watch porn- and just with their husbands.

Trust me...

Who needs science when you have years of pseudoscience, patriarchy, and some crap you slapped Jesus on?

This is true. I forgot how important pseudoscience, patriarchy, and what-people-think-their-deity-tells-them-to.
