    Why no women surveyed?

    What is with this idea that somehow only men experience a strong enough arousal to inhibit judgement. Isn't there something offensive about the idea that women were not included in the study? Isn't that an implicit suggestion that women's orgasms are weaker and less worthy of study than men and their "awesome" erections?

    Shouldn't the 'feminist' bloggers of Broadsheet have also picked up that the omission of women from the study is actually pretty offensive to women?

    Or, since I am a man, am I missing something necessary in order to fully comprehend this Broadsheet section?
