page 444
In a study of men's and women's sexual arousal, heterosexual men were more aroused, bothe subjectively and genitally, by films showing female-to-female sexual activity, whereas homosexual men were more arroued by films of male-to-male sexual activety.
By contrast, both heterosexual and homosexual women tended to be strongly aroused by viewing either male-to-male or female-to-female sexual activity.
This suggests that the relationship between sexual orientation and sexual arousal is different in women then in men (Chivers, Rieger, & Bailey, 2004
so why do you think girls say that two men is disgusting.. are they lying deep down or is it that sexually they are interested by mentally they are not..
and isn't this contradicting... I mean, porn is marketed to men and romance stories to women?
WHAT'S THE DEAL?????????????????????????/

I will say that I'm not taking in the texts main point but rather bringing external questions of my own.
It dosent say how strong the sexual arousal between men and women but seems to suggest that for men it's women and women it's both genders which are of interest.
I know I'm reading to deep but I am modeling my own question based of the text.
I'm not saying that women like the idea of two guys.. and I'm not saying that women are more turned on by physical apperance.
although.. it's easier for us guys to know were turned on because we have a big reaction to it

This text does not say that women were more aroused by all pornography than men. It just says that most women were aroused by videos of both homosexual men and women, and most men were only aroused by the gender they were attracted to. If anything, I think it reinforces stereotypes, because it shows that men and women do react differently.
Porn is marketed to men because they are still the ones most likely to buy it.

Do you believe everything you read? If so, I have a great deal on a bridge....
A survey is only as good as it is. It depends on the size of the survey, it depends on how the survey was done (was it conducted by an interviewer? were students wired for blood pressure responses? etc.) it depends on the ages of those surveyed, and it depends on how the data were both quantified and translated.
You'd also better go back and re-read the statement. It doesn't say that girls are turned on more than men by films showing sexual activity. It says women were strongly aroused (not more than men, simply strongly aroused) by films showing homosexual activity while heterosexual men were strongly aroused by female to female activity and homosexual men were strongly aroused by male to male activity.
Nothing in there states that females are more aroused. Just that all women in the survey demonstrated arousal by either homosexual coupling, whereas men demonstrated arousal aligned more closely to their own sexual preference.
You're looking for something that isn't in the text. Better read a bit more carefully when it comes to exam time!

You've drawn a conclusion that is not suggested by the data. Women may become aroused by more sexual scenarios than men, but that doesn't necessarily mean that their level of arousal is greater or higher than that of men.
All studies have shown that men are more highly aroused by sexual images than are women--on average.
