Welcome to <A Billion Wicked Thoughts/十億個邪惡的念頭> Ep.2, where we will understand what do men and women REALLY like and the difference sexual cues we have.
#1 It is very hard to study the differences b/w men vs women sexual interests because it’s hard to ACQUIRE DATA. Direct observation is best, but people don’t like to be asked about their private lives (feel guilty) +hard to get funding from govt or institution (taboo).
But authors used Dogpile.com (not in use now) , a meta-engine that combine result from Google, Yahoo, Bing etc., to get 400 million searches July 2009 – 2010 as source data.
In the unfiltered search, they find stuff like shemales in prom dresses 人妖, Twilight slash Edward and Jacob 吸血新世紀, wives caught cheating on cam, best romance novels with alpha heroes, kendra wilkinson sex tape, spanking stories 調教打屁股, free gay video tube etc.
#2 In cases where the search was ambiguous, the researchers used the AOL search histories released in 2006 to distinguish whether the terms typically appeared with other sexual searches.
MILF = 熟女/Mother I’d Like to Fuck
So a total of 55 million of the searches were classified as sexual.
And interestingly, the top 20 interests search = 80% all searches
Top 35 top interests = 90% of all searches
Meaning: Most ppl’s desires are actually MORE COMMON than you think. Our sexual desires are shared by many other people.
#3 The most popular erotic web sites reflect interest of men & women’s sexual brains:
Meaning: Men’s and women’s tastes are radically different.
On the web, men prefer images, graphic sex. i.e. sheer lust, physical gratification, no courtship/commitment/relationships. Minimum plot line, focus on the sexual acts, a lot of female bodies – face, breast, genitals.
Women prefer erotic stories of romance relationships i.e. the heroine identify, win the heart of and marry the one man who is right for her, not just sex.
They seek out different MODES of stimulation. Men prefer to watch, women prefer to read and discuss.
＃4 Authors theorize that men and women respond to different sexual cues.
Our mind’s taste software responds to 5 perceptual inputs: sweet, salty, sour, savory香, and bitter.
E.g. sweetness detects sugar, imply energy, so we like it.
E.g. bitterness detects alkaloid 生物鹼 substance, normally toxic plant, unplesant
Same as our sexual desire, we have evolved psychological mechiansm to detect + assess mate value.
And the next episodes will help us understand specific innate cues that trigger desire in women and men.
