gay and straight men are basically identical except for two things

[Kuya]

Which of your findings were most interesting?

Well, we all know that male and female sexuality are different, but just comparing male erotica and female erotica, you really see how vastly different they are. The other interesting thing was how similar gay men and straight men are. We only found two significant differences between gay male sexuality and straight male sexuality. One, of course, is that gay men like men. The other is that gay men are more likely to enjoy the sexually submissive role than straight men. But other than that, their sexual behaviors and interests online are virtually identical.

How so?

It turns out that straight men's sexual interest parallels gay men's sexual interest. For example, there are overweight women, which are called BBWs in straight porn; in gay porn there are "bears," which are big, burly guys. Just like there are MILFs for straight men, there are DILFs or daddies for gay men. There are "grannies" for straight men and "grandpas" for gay guys. The biggest interest for straight guys is teens and the biggest interest among gay guys is "twinks," which are basically teens. The body parts most preferred by both are chests, butts and feet. And both gay guys and straight guys love penises.

One of the most basic differences between the male sexual brain and female sexual brain is how they respond to sexual stimuli. For men, any single stimulus triggers arousal. But for women they need multiple cues simultaneously to cross a certain threshold to feel arousal. Most female erotica includes multiple cues and a real story line -- there's usually a time element involved in female arousal.

I want to acknowledge, though, that a minority of women does like pornography. Somewhere between one in three and one in four visitors to adult video sites are women, and our data suggests that we can even say a few things about these women. In general, they tend to have a higher sex drive than other women; they tend to be more socially aggressive than other women; they tend to be more comfortable taking risks; and they seem to be more open to bisexual experiences.

The third big surprise was the parts of anatomy that men prefer. It turns out that heterosexual men very much like looking at penises.

There's pretty overwhelming evidence for it: Men search for penises almost as often as they search for vaginas. There's about a thousand heterosexual sites dedicated to large penises, and large penises are a category of erotica in all the major porn video sites. We think the reason for this is because it's actually from our evolutionary heritage. If you look at all the other primates, the penis is a prominent and versatile social tool used for many different purposes -- to indicate aggression, to mark territory, to indicated sexual interest. The penis may also function as a sperm competition cue. That is a very specific hard-wired cue for men to trigger arousal -- basically if a man has a reason to think that a woman recently had sex with a man it makes him more aroused and the penis must play a role in that.

What would you say to someone that reads the book and comes away feeling a little depressed about the gaping chasm between men's and women's sexualities?

Well, the first thing to keep in mind is that it's always worked just fine. Our very existence tells us that our ancestors had no problem getting together sexually. We're designed to appeal to each other so there's not really a need for us to have identical interests.

Different interests pull us together, so I don't think it's anything to be afraid of; rather the more you understand your partner the more satisfying a sexual relationship you can have. If you can get past the illusions and ignorance and fears and hang-ups, I think good information about how these things work can help all of us have more fulfilling sexual relationships.

•Men form their sexual interests during adolescence and rarely change. Women's sexual interests are plastic and change frequently.
