I’ll ape **constantine** on most points. However, apes will respond to video images (something most animals don’t seem to do) and if a creature can react in fear to video images of lions and snakes, I see no reason why they wouldn’t start feeling “that way” if they were shown footage of apes monkeying around.
Here’s a thought for the original poster - porn closet. Hidden.

Well, the Amish are a culture, and they don’t have erotic imagery. Neither do Mennonites, or the Yanomamo of Brazil, or Hasidic Jews, or the Sambia of Papua New Guinea, or – well, you get the idea. In case you don’t, I’ll say it explicitly: Your belief that erotic imagery has been part of every culture is wrong.
