Women like to watch

News out this morning suggests that women are more interested in admiring (the Daily Telegraph used the word "ogle") body parts than men. In a study where US scientists used eye-tracking technology to pinpoint what people looked at when shown sexy photos (although there was no definition of what constituted a "sexy photo" in the report I read) it seems men were more likely to linger on the face. There was also a hormonal link with women using hormonal contraceptives looking more at the genitals. It is unclear how the study results would extrapolate to the wild (also known as "the real world") but I know one person who will feel that their long standing views are vindicated by this piece of research! (Hi T!)
