You're not telling me you didn't feel the chemistry there, Puzzlebox...
If by "feel the chemistry" you mean "feel my eyebrows singed off when you introduced a volatile hydrocarbon to the bunsen burner", then yes. I totally felt that.

Hey, it was the first class monday morning!
Your eyebrows smelled great by the way.
**With really overdone classic british accent**
Ah, indeed my dear Watson.
The art of deduction has told me that you'll go for my spleen first, so I'll cover that area while I try to gnaw off your left foot.
The you'll probably try to kick me in the teeth so that's when I'll have taken your retainer from the ground to give me the proper protection. Next, the mudslinging..!

This experiment doesn't seem all that scientific at all. I can note several problems with it as a scientific experiment and as a proof against the man's thesis.
I can't speak for everyone but it definitely catches my attention. Although a face gets my attention before a tit.
I wasn't talking about catching one's attention. See, for instance, he's talking to me about something, and I'm playing with my breasts, because, well, they're breasts! and then he just stops talking, so I look up and he looks all weird and says he doesn't remember what he was talking about.
At first thought it was some kind of running gag joke, but I think he actually does forget what he was talking about. So I'm wondering if that's common.
I have a question about that: do all men who like females have a brain hiccup when they see bouncing breasts, or is it just my husband?
Yes.
Actually, as far as I know, there are three parts of the female anatomy whose attractiveness causes men to do this. Which one has greater priority (ie. more effect) than the others depends on the man.
1) Attractive Breasts
2) Attractive Butt
3) Attractive Legs
For the record, I'm affected in that order, from greatest to least.

Obviously this requires some testing. I think we'll need to recreate that stimulus and run a poll among the male members of this forum.
....And if that doesn't work, then yes. It's pretty common for males introduced to sexual stimuli to loose track of much else. Men are generally easily excited and stimulated visually, and they're also very often mentally focused(as in, men will generally be able to focus intently on one thing at a time). Visual sexual stimulation overrides the current thought process, and male mental focus makes it difficult to switch "back on track". That's my theory, anyway.

Yeah, its common. Which brings me to a question I'm curious about. Do women who like men ever have similar reactions to the male body, or does it just not affect women that much at all? Women seem to make like they're pretty indifferent but I don't quite believe that in all honesty. I think women, at least here in America, put on a charade about things like this.
Dashing, your theory reminds me of a doubly sexist joke!
God told man "I have a good news and a bad news for you. The good news is that I'm going to give you a brain and a penis. The bad news is that I will only give you enough blood to use one at a time."
Then there is the obligatory sequel that's sexist towards women, for balance.
God told woman "I am going to give you enough blood to make your brain work at all times. However, once a month you'll lose the blood it hasn't been used."

I think women are generally better at hiding things like that. I think culturally, we're used to having to hide it or we're some kind of whore or something.
I know women stare at men just as much, but in a way that's not as obvious, like with the corner of your eyes or something, and look away when they turn to check because they're feeling observed. If you move your eyes while they're moving theirs, due to the brain not processing the image while the eyes are moving (as it would be too blurry), they won't notice your eyes are moving.
As a result, when they see you're not looking at them, they'll think they must have imagined it.
I have never been unable to remember what I was saying/doing simply due to being aroused, but I wouldn't say it has zero effect, either.
Also, it's generally not the body itself, as far as I'm concerned, but more gestures (that in themselves probably wouldn't do anything for me if they weren't done by someone I'm attracted to. Like rolling up one's sleeves or pushing up one's glasses or something) and a lot of auditory things (words, tones of voice, things like that).

I went to see New Moon at the theater twice with my family, and both times I went (and I do also believe every time in every theater everywhere without fail) all the women in the theater made whooping noises when Jacob Black took his shirt off.
So men really can't have more than one thought in their head at a time? So if I stupidly wander into a dark alley in a strange town and a mugger shows up all I have to do is flash him and then make my escape? Weird that they never mentioned that in my self-defense classes ...
And was discussed in another forum, for many women (or at least three of us) sexiness and physical attractiveness don't always go hand in hand. So while having a hot guy take off his shirt will make me catch my breath if I'm already into him, having him make a great joke or show some amazing insight will work just as well.

Or laughing at one. Or meeting your eyes. Or lots of things, really, depending on the person.
I know I joke a lot about topless guys, but it's really the little things that make me melt.
For years I was so confused because I thought that women didn't care about a man's looks, because they all had Skunkape-like boyfriends, but at the same time DID want a good looking man, because they weren't interested in me.
I also thought they didn't want nice guys, because their boyfriends were mostly arrogant bastards.
It's just that many people seem to act differently when they're with the one they love.
Breasts, butts and legs can be nice, but I got a thing for arms; I don't know why, exactly, and it's only really the upper arms.
Also, while I think it's many men's quest to get a woman naked, usually the attraction wanes a bit when that has happened. Sometimes what you DON'T see is far more alluring than what you DO see, and a woman wearing a low-cut dress can be far more beautiful and captivating than a completely naked model. It's part of the "mystery", if you will. Kinda like the old saying that the journey is more important than the destination.
What do women like in men? I don't know. I agree that women can be more subtle about it. I think the curse of really beautiful women is that they KNOW they're beautiful, and many act accordingly, making themselves less beautiful, how paradoxical it may be. I've never considered myself handsome, certainly not eye candy, and other than my wife I've never noticed a woman looking at me like that (so I often think she has weird taste - though she did have a thing for Heath Ledger back in the day, and just yesterday she said she wouldn't mind making out with Clive Owen).
Also, I've never understood womens' fascination with men baring their forearms. I always imagine those men thinking, "Look at my arms, see how big and muscular and hairy they are, come to me and let my arms embrace you." Totally shrivels me up inside (and not in the good way).
Once again, I turn up to the "what we like about men" discussion to find that Lena and Avistew have pretty much said it all for me.
On the subject of perving, I think women are just much better at multitasking too. It's perfectly possible for me to carry on a conversation with you AND check out the hottie 90 degrees to my left without you noticing, the same way I can talk to you and type something completely different at the same time.
Talking and typing I can do too, so don't say all men are single-minded entities. I also used to be able to read while listening to bar conversations, though that's been several years.
I don't think I can look at women inconspicuously. I also imagine having the same effect on them as a big fat spider: either they scream and run, or walk by very fast pretending not to see me. My wife always notices when I'm looking at something/-one else when she's talking to me, though she does like to comment on how ugly or cute people are.
I can normally hide the fact that I'm looking at women pretty well.
But it's true, when they're doing something with their breasts, ass or legs, the talking becomes less easy, but the mind-melting really happens when they really start stimulating you (me).

Does Puzzlebox have breasts?
we'rejustgoodfriendswhositnexttoeachotherinchemistryjoop!
Especially on the same person...

Persistence is key!
Hey, it was the first class monday morning!
Your eyebrows smelled great by the way.
I'm gonna take this comment as a reason to continue my random and vague flirtations.
I might flutter my eyelashes at you if they hadn't melted.
Hehe. I like the irony of you telling me that
Hey, ladies. The chances of us having sex is inversely proportional to the size of my penis. And my penis is really small.
Do you feel the electricity yet?
But if you's gowna be hittin' own Puzzlebox, time'sa changin'.
Yo, let's fight one another, holmes!
Obviously they go for the cutest kitten on the block...

Argh! My foot! I concede! You win, sir! You win!
I'll drink to that (I actually won't drink to it at all since I don't have a drink at hand, but I agree with the sentiment all the same).
You've been a worthy adversary, my friend. Now let me treat your foot with some of the nursing skills I didn't pick up in the Swiss Alps.
Puzzlebox, this victory is in your honor.
Thanks. It really isn't helping, but thanks.
I agree. Breasts are incredibly supernatural...and hypnotic....and made of magic playdoh.
