NEWS: Men Look At Crotches A Lot

CULTURE: Men Look At Crotches A Lot

Men have crotch fever. All men, it would seem, are essentially programmed to check out women's crotches. First men look at the face, then they check out the crotch. I imagine during the journey there is a pit-stop taken at the chest too. But it's not our fault, according to science all men do it suggesting that there may be a biological explanation.

The study involved 255 New Yorkers subjecting them to a barrage of websites and photos. They tracked their subjects' eye motions discovering that the sexes study viewing material differently. The study also revealed that men don't just fixate on the face and crotch in pictures of the opposite sex, but also of men. When shown a picture of former baseball player George Brett the female group didn't take as much time soaking up his bulge as the male group did.

The study was meant to help web editors and designers learn how to better incorporate pictures into their sites which will suit their audience's taste, improve the transmission of information, or increase ad sales. But researchers say the results also suggest that men's instinct in doing this is not just one of sexual attraction but a natural response designed to either analyze and size up the competition or fantasize about suitable procreation potential.



Still no word on why we stare at breasts and asses.

what do you expect from New Yorkers?

Show them pictures of women and they'll probably fixate on their shoes

As a current job seeker I would be interested to see how this could used to create a more attractive resume. Also my initial impression from that image was that George Brett should take care to avoid the Predator.

I'm a scientician, and I approve this thread.

despite scientific results I know I'm still a perv for looking at girl's crotches. thank goodness i'm in the right place for it here. but belive me, in public it makes girls feel uneasy. but now i know its not just me. i'm just more obvious i suppose.

i've also noticed that the women on this site have less crotch-centric favorite pics than my own, which are mostly crotchy. sorry.

I often find myself staring subconsciously at crotches, yet I am a girl.

mmmmmmmm.....crotch.........

scientists hard at work

(...wow, that sounds dirty.... yet... fitting...)

Superimpose your resume over a picture of your penis. Duh.

In all seriousness they should do this survey again with gay man only and weomen to see if that could have casued these results, assumeing the group of people studied was unbiased and even between male and female but what about sexuality? was the unbiased as well?
That would be an interesting survey.

i probably check out their crotches to see if they got a big leaner

That theory is a load of bollocks...

This is the least surprising thing I have ever read.

More proof for my theory that gender and sexuality are both dead. Every man is gay.

I'll have to make an appointment with my therapist. I rarely look at crotches.

This article was crotch-tastic.

I've always known that one... no surprise there.

Goddamn you sir.

I'm partial to looking at the face, then breasts if it's a chick.

This was a very interesting article.

I've never been a big fan of the word "crotch" though, lol.

What about those of us who can't stop looking at asses ? Where's my story ?

George Brett is in the booth right now for the Red Sox/Royals game and every time they show him I can't keep myself from looking at his crotch.

I'd say something witty about this, but I'm too busy staring at groins to concentrate.
