Straight Men Love Looking At Penises http://i1.wp.com/listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Shocked-face-e1380205195991.jpg?resize=632%2C421
It sounds contradictory, but straight men apparently enjoy looking at penises almost as much as they do vaginas. As part of their research for their book
A Billion Wicked Thoughts, Sai Gaddam and Ogi Ogas—those two again—ranked Internet searches in terms of popularity from their NSA-sized database. Their results showed that search terms for female genitalia
are only just more popular
than search terms for male genitalia, by a factor so small there’s practically zero difference.
Other research the pair did seems to bear this out, too—an analysis of the 40,000 or so most popular porn sites in the world found that over 1,000 were heterosexual sites with an emphasis on comically large penises, while a “porn aggregator†site that listed the top 100 sexual images on the web by rating included 21 that were purely close-ups of male genitals. The inference is that many straight men like nothing more than to stare at another guy’s junk.
Now, there are a few theories as to why this might be—our primate brains interpreting other men’s erections to mean there’s an available female nearby, for example—but nothing’s certain. All we know for a fact is penises are surprisingly, weirdly popular among guys who are 100 percent straight.
