I wanted to make up a well thought out scientific/psychological explanation for why anon’s dick reacted in that way, but i realised i don’t react the same way in similar situations, so not only do i have no idea what it could really be but i also have no skin in the game.
I’m not looking it up, but iirc there was a study done a while back where peoples genitals reacted to erotic images regardless of their sexual preferences. Something about how the brain perceives the context, e.g. you can see a naked person without erotic context and might not have any genital reaction at all.
Also aince it’s a dating app I imagine that anon seeing naked people in that context makes him feel “wanted” sexually, because people are presenting their naked body to him.
It definitely could be, my understanding is that the principle is somewhat like an intrusive thought, in that your brain is running the identification of a sexual intent, and reacting to that. Whether that’s arousing to the person is somewhat secondary, but the body reacts on some level regardless.

Anyone have some theories?

That makes perfect sense, thank you.
