Yeah, so there's the work of, this is Cindy Meston at the University, UT Austin, University of Texas, Austin.

She was studying arousal in women

It's interesting because if you show them stimulative literature, sorry, porn, stimulative media, pornography, women tend to respond across the board, whether it's gay, lesbian, straight, I mean, hetero, animals, whatever.

whatever.

Women tend to have a response.

Men are much more, men are like, that's what I like to see and that's what arouses me.

So women will respond, but the difference compared to men is they don't necessarily realize it because they're not getting a boner.

It's like there's something going on in there and you can measure it with a photoplethysmograph.

You can measure it, but then afterward, you interview the person, as they did me, and they said, so that

Were you aroused?

How aroused did you think that you were from this part of the film and then that part of the film?

And if you say, you know, it didn't do anything for me.

It was like some really creepy porn.

The guy was disgusting.

He had a horrible mustache.

The sex was boring.

I wasn't aroused at all.

They'll look at the ratings or the data that they're getting and go, actually, you were.

There's physiological arousal but it's not necessarily tied to a psychological arousal.

Like in terms of you having a satisfying sex life, it's not like, you know, somebody's going to say, well, we put a little see-through device in your vagina.
