Any Psychology Students or Pros here?
#5
And while I'm asking those educated in psychology about human behaviors I want to research more, how much is "taboo" thought to play in sexual attraction? For example, in cultures where women frequently go topless the males take it in stride, but in cultures where women wear burqas then even the sight of a female ankle can drive men to sexual frenzy. It's even said that even in a stripper bar a woman who accidentally shows covered skin and tries vainly to cover herself will draw a lot more interest from many men as they're not supposed to see that and so it becomes even more compelling than the strippers showing even more intimate parts.

One guy who used to work at a hotel said that whenever there was a convention of fundamentalist Christians that the number of those paying for porn in their room went through the roof. And so many Republicans and other conservatives waging a moral crusade turn out to be engaging in the wildest sexual immorality themselves (and surprisingly enough it's often the same kind, like how one Republican gathering was found to have had all kinds of ads on Craigslist by visiting Republicans looking for anonymous gay sex, one asking specifically for a married man to have sex with and claiming to be married himself which goes to show he sees marriage as even less sacred than fans of that reality show about marrying a millionaire). MAYBE this is more projection, but I'm wondering if that "taboo" aspect above might not play a part (that is, because it's so forbidden then it becomes attractive to many of them, and perhaps that's makes a vicious circle in trying to be more devout to overcome it which makes the taboo that much more stronger and thus the righteous outrage of other moral reprobates....)

So is this likely a function of taboo making them this way or is it that because they're so obsessed with these things that they try to feel better about themselves by joining moral crusades against others?

Btw, when I watch some L Word slash vids on YT I notice that those that are HQ or better and erotic and/or with a lot of nudity (as opposed to more sweet and romantic) get the Westboro peanut gallery (saying we're disgusting, going to Hell, etc) more, and even those that don't (and even missing any "dislikes") have ads for Christian dating (and some kind of "be a Bible scholar" or some such) which says that Christians are visiting those vids all the time. Those ads generally don't show up on other vids (unless you can expect Christians to show up) save some atheist vids. In addition, one such vid went viral and thus pulled in all kinds of people and the Christian Dating ads became less common as I presume the ads tailored themselves to the new demographics showing up (for example, we had many gamers commenting and the ads started to advertise for games when it hadn't before). In contrast, I've only rarely seen ads for lesbian dating on those specific vids. That means lesbian erotica (at least if HQ enough) is watched more by Christians (and probably Christian fundies) than by lesbians (or at least Google/YT thinks so and I'm sure they got some slick programs to do the market research and tailor the ads accordingly). So what gives? :confused:
