Sometime ago I read about a study that a high percentage of straight
heterosexual (?) males were sexually aroused by watching pictures of naked
men. I lost any reference to the study.
Also, somewhere I saw a nice artwork by an artist (?) of two women
passionately kissing each other and a warning below, "Senator Jesse Helms
warns you that watching a lesbian kiss can cause homosexuality" (or
something like that).
Can you help me to find both references, please?
Take care,
Eugene
