There was an interesting study covered in the Psych Central newsroom on how men and women differ in the attention paid to visual components of sex. Essentially, researchers used eye tracking technology to examine the pattern of how people processed pictures of sex. The goal of the work is to understand what visual elements of sex are important to men and women.
“Researchers hypothesized women would look at faces and men at genitals, but, surprisingly, they found men are more likely than women to first look at a woman’s face before other parts of the body, and women focused longer on photographs of men performing sexual acts with women than did the males.”
Everything I’ve seen that uses the eye-tracking technology has been terrific, and I think that this work really holds promise in unlocking some of the mysteries of what people find visually appealing sexually on conscious and subconscious levels.

“Sex Differences in Sex Visuals”
differently focused subject
the research tells men are more eager than to women to see visual component of sex.
generally in India both men and women are equal to seeing visuals .but exposure of women is less than men.
