I don't think you quite understand what they were studying when you were an ERICA subject...
The reason you, and many others, were looking at porn was they were studying where you looked, when you see porn. If I remember right, most males looked at the breasts right away, and then moved on (most of the time) to the genitalia. I can't remember where the females tended to look. Somebody at UVA had the perfect job (although most likely unpaid) of looking at a bunch of porn, and identifying which areas were breasts, genitalia, etc. Then they ran a bunch of subjects through the pictures, and compiled the results. The kittens and other crap were just there so you wouldn't expect porn all the time! Cleanse the pallette between courses, so to speak. Does anybody out there have any details on the study? A link would be fabulous and contribute greatly to the betterment of society. I for one am kicking myself trying to remember which parts of the images the girls were looking at... I also would love to know who commissioned the study.

the guy did say he was trying to get in touch with Bill Gates, but nobody would return his calls.
