Episode notes
Sexual Cues
- Men and women are born with hardwired sexual cues, much like taste cues.
- However, male sexual cues are primarily visual and external, while female cues are primarily emotional, psychological, and both internal and external.
Sexual Brain Processing
- The male sexual brain responds to any single sexual stimulus like an "or" gate.
- The female sexual brain requires multiple simultaneous stimuli like an "and" gate.
Erotic Illusions
- Erotic illusions combine different sexual cues in novel ways to "trick" the sexual brain.
- She-male porn, popular among heterosexual men, combines female anatomical cues with the male cue of a penis.
