Could be a connection there.

LOL. Talking about a stretch of rationalizations. You guys are starting to sound almost as desperate as Larry Craig. mkevinf: “… glancing at another guy’s crotch is no more homoerotic than slapping another guy’s ass … that is also the strike zone … crotch watch is due only to a natural reflex, not a sexual interest.”

I recall some eye-tracking work which I read about in the late '50s or the '60s. The research was done I believe at either Purdue or Duke University and then reported, I think, in Scientific American. The eye-tracking system described in the article was very primitive compared to what I read about today. As I recall the stated object of the research was to determine how "people" scanned or viewed various images.It was only after they began that it be came obvious that there were gender based differences. There were a few photos in the article one of which was a draft horse standing in profile, it was a bucolic setting, farm-land background, etc. The differences in the male/female scans were marked. While both groups, for the most part, "hit" the same anatomic areas, the differences in the lengths of time each group spent/lingered on any particular area of the horse was remarkable. I won't attempt to describe the article...It's been too long to me to recall adequately. I will say though that, based upon how the ladies scanned the horse, I would have expected the "man at bat" results to be the opposite of what is shown here. Perhaps someone out there with the requisite skills/resources/interest will dig up the article I am referring to and see how the past and present work compare Take care ....Genevastar I apologize being so vague as to dates and source material in the following…I simply don’t have the resources or know how on how to dig it up.
