Here are two interesting articles I found today...
One on men's crotches (SFW), it's about a study using eye-tracking. I'd like to hear your opinions on this one.

Here's one more my cup-o-tea. I couldn't find the actual paper this guy was talking about. I didn't even know there was a theory out there that suggested that your nerves transmit sound waves rather than electrical pulses. I think it's hooey, but does he raise a good point about the heat generation?

Holy CRAP! Man that is interesting. I always wondered why I couldn't resist looking at other people private parts! Seriously I noticed that I do that, but I never imagined that it was natural, I just figured it was just another wierd thing about me. Anyway that second article sounds REALLY interesting. I think you are right the guy is wrong, but I wouldn't count out the possibility of sound playing a serious role in the process. It definitely could, but cutting out the electricity part seems pretty rediculous given all of the evidence and work to support it. Who knows though. Maybe they are right, perhaps the electricy part is an after thought which helps us remember but we actually experience through sounds, or something like that. Just a thought.
