OP do you think all of the women in this thread who are disagreeing with you are liars? ---

> [@tomndebb](#): > > That is not how it works. There is a reason why NO serious researcher will rely on internet surveys to determine opinions. There are no controls. They rely on volunteer reporting without any way to determine how many people with valid opinions simply scroll past such surveys without every opening them, much less replying to them. > > There is not one instance of my opinion being recorded on an internet survey, despite the fact, (as demonstrated oten on the SDMB), that I have actual, serious opinions on multiple topics. (I do not even reply to surveys posted on the SDMB.) If a person sees a “survey” on the internet asking whether they like a particular phenomenon, they are not likely to respond unless they have a vested personal interest in the topic. So people who see questions about the enjoyment of sex or the beauty of genitalia who consider those question either silly, intrusive, or irrelevant are not going to respond and you will get only an opinion from people with their own axes to grind on the topic–and there is no way to know how much of the populations falls into the interested category o the uninterested category. > > You can provide no facts, just limited opinions from people with axes to grind. You’re assuming that if a woman doesn’t find penises ugly, then she’ll skip the question cause it’s silly, intrusive, or irrelevant. It’s more likely the exact opposite. If she doesn’t find male genitals repulsive she would aggressively hit back at the person who’s asking the question, telling them they’re wrong, stupid, and don’t know what they’re talking about. ---

You mean like all us women in this thread, which you are discounting? Here’s a data point: I don’t find penises attractive, but I do not find them repulsive. Sex for sex sake is fun and feels good. I also like sex because of the emotional connection to someone I’m committed to (like my husband). There you go. ---

If she doesn’t find male genitals repulsive she would aggressively hit back at the person who’s asking the question, telling them they’re wrong, stupid, and don’t know what they’re talking about. Nope. That is not how random internet surveys happen. I routinely ignore surveys hoping to get me to tell someone how wonderful Trump’s presidency is, how we need to put the church back into public schools, and how we need to support police brutality–all issues on which I have strong opposing views. YOU may leap to counter a survey with which you disagree, but if the topic is too far out in left field, the majority of netizens just scroll on past. There may be a few women out there who are so enamored of their lovers’ genitalia that they simply must reply, (along with a few men lacking in self-confidence who will reply as women), but the majority of people would see that (if they ever actually even saw the survey) and think “What is this nonsense all about?” and scroll on past. ---

> [@raventhief](#): > > Guess I will have to console myself with a lovely penis instead. Actually, this thread inspired me to do just that earlier today. For research purposes. And just as I suspected…nope…didn’t find it repulsive! I’m still waiting for him to buy me stuff, though. 😛 But seriously, I don’t get how the OP believes all the other “evidence” he’s finding on line to prove his theory, but the fact that no one here agrees counts for nothing. So, really, Fay, do you think we’re all conspiring to just disagree with your just for giggles? Or could you possibly stop to consider that maybe, just maybe, you’re wrong? ---

> [@marshmallow](#): > > I vaguely recall one study that directly measured physical arousal which showed that women are actually more perverted in the sense that most any visual pornography will physically arouse them, whether it’s straight, gay, lesbian, or even between animals (I think they used chimps or bonobos), whereas men tend to be non-responsive to media outside their preference. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I’m definitely not interested in searching for that one right now. Yes. I think the conclusion that the scientists came up with wasn’t so much “Ladies are secretly attracted to bonobos!” as “Women are programmed to get wet at sexual content, even if they’re not actually turned on, to minimize injury from getting raped.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/women-find-male-genitals-replusive-and-most-men-dont-even-know-it/785564.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/women-find-male-genitals-replusive-and-most-men-dont-even-know-it/785564.md?page=7)
