    This sounds really creepy and scary. And maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't feel very human if I was asked to put a bag over my head to be "studied". I'd feel like a specimen. Or a mannequin. With eye-holes, even. Geesh.

    White robes and pillowcases over their heads? Were these "female volunteers" also Klan members?

    One time I went to a country fair. That ensemble is exactly what the goats were wearing.

    I can't help but think the men going into the profession in the 50's were straight up kinks, what with the weird ass sex studies and the hysterics masturbatory aids and the eerie minty green examination chairs and *shiver*

    So, they're trying to see if hetero males respond to the bodies (sans heads) of naked women. Hmmm, that's a mystery.

    @fireflyinjuly: Oddly, no. This was the 50s. They were trying to see if homosexual men respond to the bodies (sans heads) of naked women. Or actually to be accurate, the bodies of women concealed by robes.


    This was the infamous study which title begins "Well, if we put a bag over her head, then can you....?"

    I've had dreams like this, but the exam room is also my high school biology class which is also on one of those crowded trains in India, which is also the Orange MBTA line, which is running through the desert in AZ for some reason.
