    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.

      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.”

          it’s also entirely possible to find people handsome and attractive, but not be attracted to them an iota.
          i’m into femboys and stuff but masculinity has 0 appeal to me, but i still very much think guys like henry cavill (especially with a beard) are visually appealing.

          I’ve had that exact reaction many times at BDSM events. (Technically, that first comma needs to move one word to the left.)
