Re: How can this have happened?
by Ian Blokesworth

I've read a couple popular romance novels out of curiosity. Most of the words are spent describing the thread count of the sheets. Occasionally, there is a paragraph describing the insertion of the "man root." These novels cater to the female obsession with overidealized love.

My point still stands. Women spend very little money on images or videos of the male body and much money on publications with images of the female body. I noticed the rack of magazines at the checkout counter at RiteAid today. Woman's World. Woman's Day. Glamour. Cosmopolitan. Every one of these magazines featured a nearly full body picture of a woman on the cover. Evidently, the male body is generally uninteresting not only to men, but also to women.
