I'm always scanning Science Daily for anything relevant for the blog here, and when it comes to studies on sexuality research look for participants that identify themselves as heterosexual.
Most recent example here...
Women Attracted to Men in Red, Research Shows"When women see red it triggers something deep and probably biologically engrained," explains Elliot. "We say in our culture that men act like animals in the sexual realm. It looks like women may be acting like animals as well in the same sort of way."
To quantify the red effect, the paper analyzed responses from 288 female and 25 male undergraduates to photographs of men in seven different experiments. Participants were all self-identified as heterosexual or bisexual. In one color presentation, participants looked at a man's photo framed by a border of either red or white and answered a series of questions, such as: "How attractive do you think this person is?"
Currently I'm finishing up a research study on Natural Family Planning. The study required for participates to not only identify as being heterosexual, but to be a heterosexual couple active in a monogamous sexual relationship that involves the conjugal act.
If science can acknowledge the difference, then why can't domestic public policy?
Hmm. My favorite color is red, and I married a man with auburn hair. I just thought it was great chemistry. . . .
ReplyDeleteRoses are red. Well yeah, but the meaning we place on them. Valentines Hearts are red.
