The article reports on a neuroscience graduate student's findings when researching female and male viewing of pornography. The purpose was to identify where exactly females and males focus on such images. Heather A. Rupp attends Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia as a graduate student, and uses eye-tracking technology to record where women and men's eyes linger. Her main findings included men focusing on the image subjects' faces versus sexual organs. Women were found to be split. Half focused on the context and the others focused on male sexual organs.
