Abstract
Two studies were done to investigate the influence of exposure to centerfold erotica on sexual attraction judgments.
In Experiment 1, college students judged a photograph of a nude female after being exposed either to control stimuli (abstract art or other average nudes) or to photographs taken from popular erotic magazines. The target was judged as less sexually attractive after subjects had been exposed to popular erotica. Male and female subjects showed parallel patterns of attraction ratings.
In Eksperiment 2 is manlike en vroulike vakke blootgestel aan teenoorgestelde seks erotika. In die tweede studie was daar 'n interaksie van vakseks met stimulusvoorwaarde op seksuele aantrekkingskraggraderings. Decrementele effekte van sentrale blootstelling is slegs gevind vir manlike vakke wat aan vroulike naak blootgestel word. Mans wat die Playboy-type centerfolds more pleasant rated themselves as less in love with their wives. Results are discussed in light of general gender differences in sexual behavior, and are related to the current controversy about pornography.
