  2. First - A Questionnaire • Think about what arouses you… (You don’t have to turn this is, just brainstorm) • What is attractive to you about another person? • What sexually arouses you? • Do you have an odd fantasy (fetish)? • If so what is it? • Do you masturbate? • Do you watch porn? • If so, what kind do you prefer? • If not, why?

  3. Pre-Arousal - The Attractive Phase • Similarities and Differences • Men vs. Women • Men=Visual, Women=Emotional • Men are category-specific whereas women have greater tendency to be aroused by both genders. • Heterosexual vs. Bisexual vs. Homosexual • In general, bisexual men don’t have strong genital arousal to both male and female sexual stimuli and appear to be more homosexual than bisexual. • Young vs. Old • What was attractive “back then” is different from what is attractive now.

Georgia that people could read and look at whatever they wished in the privacy of their own homes - which included pronography. • $2 Million to fund Presidential commission to study pornography.
