Researchers attempted to study how women rate men and react to imagined sex with men while in an aroused and unaroused state. To do so, they showed 91 women either an erotic video or a hiking video before rating the attractiveness of photographs of men’s faces. The faces varied in attractiveness. The women then rated their disgust towards anticipated behaviors with men depicted on photographs. | Researchers attempted to study how women rate men and react to imagined sex with men while in an aroused and unaroused state.

They found that the most dramatic influence on women's disgust was how attractive the man they showed them was. Sexually arousing women with pornography beforehand did not reduce their disgust at unattractive men | They found that the most dramatic influence on women's disgust was how attractive the man they showed them was. All differences in disgust were significant when comparing the attractive man to the unattractive man, even when the anticipated behavior was just talking to the man. Sexually arousing women with pornography beforehand did not reduce their disgust at unattractive men. | ||
Perhaps most harshly | They note that women experience a higher degree of sexual disgust at baseline compared to men. Thus a man must be very attractive to override their innate sense of disgust. Since men have less sexual disgust at baseline, men may on the other hand be more flexible to consider women of more broadly varying attractiveness. | ||
Perhaps most harshly, the image used for an "unattractive man" is hardly even unattractive and appears to just be a fairly average white man. One can only imagine how much higher women's disgust would have been had they used an actually ugly man for the analysis. | |||

* ''Attractiveness seems to reduce disgust and therefore also avoidance tendencies—probably because it signals good health and small risk of pathogen transmission.'' | * ''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.'' | * ''Women on average have a higher disgust sensitivity and propensity than men.
