I was just watching a in depth scientific documentary about something that would be really boring to most people (the new SI definition). Obviously, my goal of watching this was to learn about the subject matter. But about half-way through there was an attractive commentator (female) and it just sent my mind off into imagining having sex with her. It was distracting and I lost interest in the documentary. I think if men were completely honest, they’d admit of the same sort of thing happening to them. Like an attractive woman can completely distract you from whatever you were doing. And you don’t have control over that. You can’t power through it. It just happens and you have to recognize it for what it is and accept it and move on and try to get back to whatever you were focused on before. You women might not realize this struggle. Sometimes I think to myself how I understand the berka taking effect in the middle east, I think it would help me, but damn even women’s eyes with everything else covered can shift my mood into a more animalistic mode rather than a more civilized demeanor. I’d bet my life it’s like this for 98% of males. I mean, I’m kind of curious about if you were really honest, walking down the street and you see any attractive women, how can you help your brain not automatically think “damn, I’d like to fuck the hell out of that”. Especially if they are dressed in some sort of risque, butt-cheeks hanging out, skinny tanned legs outfit. Sorry in advance. Sometimes I just feel like posting what is on my mind. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-a-confession-to-make-when-i-see-an-attractive-woman-in-any-context-my-concentration-shifts/838395)._
