“First, the notion must be abandoned that women are simply repressed men waiting to be liberated: large numbers of women will not be appealed to by the slavish mimicking of men's magazines. Selection has not only not favored a female propensity to become sexually aroused by the sight of males, but very likely it has disfavored this propensity. Selection has, however, favored female abilities to discriminate visually, and to be sexually interested in, males who evidence fitness. Sexual arousal—primarily via touch—may eventually result from this female interest.”
