Attraction to women doesn't make people not misogynist.

Uuh that's a very difficult thing.

It's like wearing agressive perfume full of hormomes. It might cause somebody to get an erection but it's still hella uncomfortable and annoying. Not really consensual and i see why it pisses people off.

TIL people get erections from perfume.

People will spend a lot of money if a marketer lies to them enough. It should be noted that scientists don’t recognize any human-arousal pheromones. Only shady websites that wanna sell you overpriced perfume.

yeah it actually did happen to me irl some years ago when we were on a field trip and a girl who had already flirted with me for the past two days suddenly wore a perfume and i think it was that that made it really difficult for me to stay clear-minded. could have also been the flirting though, i'm not sure actually.

How did they measure "penile circumference" over time? Is there a guy standing next to them with a tape measure?

Elastic ring that can measure how much it streched.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Makes sense. Albeit I find the idea of someone holding a tape measure more funny.

Waitwaitwait... The homophobic men displaying arousal: Yeah, sure, of course.

But NONE of the non-homophobic men got even a little ruffled? That's the real surprise here.

[–] accideath@feddit.org 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, they did specifically look for heterosexual non-homophobic men. Apparently, every one they got was honest about their sexuality, both to the researchers as to themselves.

"Two dudes fuckin', cool. Not my thing, but it looks like they're having a good time and that's awesome."
