      Sex-hunger: Exposure to sexualized stimuli whets single men's appetite for high-calorie foods, gathering energy for competition. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54e0f3f4e4b093f6b2b491a0/t/5b3d3aa1575d1fd7a479059a/1530739371104/Fullprogram …pic.twitter.com/OS3VH2sqKa

      Sexual priming doesn't replicate.

      I wouldn't call making men horny through erotic pictures "priming". Priming refers to incidental, subconscious stimuli at the edge of consciousness.

      You can call it whatever you want, but showing men pictures to elicit behavior doesn't replicate. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1472788/3/Shanks_Priming%20Mating%20Motives%20ms_FINAL_COMPLETE.pdf …

      I know what a catastrophy social priming is. But I thought stimulating sexual arousal with pictures is a legitimate technique, used for example in behavioral economics, eg by Loewenstein et al. I priming studies, the stimulus is only casual or even subliminal.

      Well according to the published version of what I sent you, the literature has all the blaring statistical alarms that the literature is underpowered and p-hacked.

      In the paper by Loewenstein et al., the authors were just priming romantic motives (e.g. asking respondents to read a text, or exposing respondents to an attractive face). They did not trigger strong sexual arousal.

      Here eg, Loewenstein clearly writes about having generated sexual arousal via pictures https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/bdm.501 … I thought this was all about the influence of visceral states on decion making. Here is a very new paper on the subject, haven't read yet: https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-19962-001 …

          My mistake. I thought that Ryan was refering to the Shank et al. paper. Thanks for the new reference. This new paper from Sundie et al. is actually a comment on the Shank et al paper.

          I was referring to Shank et al. paper. I thought it was damning. I think there is room for erotic pictures to be effective advertising, without it, for example, having an effect on appetites for high calorie foods, which is where this thread started.
