Researchers showed 91 female psychology undergraduates either an erotic video or a hiking video before rating the attractiveness of photographs of men’s faces. The faces varied in attractiveness, and some had blemishes. The women then rated their disgust towards anticipated behaviors with men depicted on photographs. | |||
They found by far the most dramatic influence on women's disgust was how attractive the man they showed them was. Blemishes (ie. disease cues) had a much smaller effect. Sexually arousing women with pornography beforehand did not reduce their disgust at unattractive men. They note that because women experience a higher degree of sexual disgust at baseline compared to men, this is likely harder to override. | |||

* ''The results suggest that women feel disgust at sexual contact with unattractive or diseased men.'' | * ''The results suggest that women feel disgust at sexual contact with unattractive or diseased men independently of their sexual arousal.'' | ||
* ''Attractiveness seems to reduce disgust and therefore also avoidance tendencies—probably because it signals good health and small risk of pathogen transmission.'' | |||
* ''Women on average have a higher disgust sensitivity and propensity than men. This also implies that they require relatively more sexual arousal to outweigh disgust and elicit a sexually functioning feedback loop. In other words, sexual arousal is less likely to outweigh disgust in women.'' | |||
