Quiet Revolution: Unlocking the Power of Introverts What Do Men and Women Focus On When They Watch Porn? The Answer Will Probably Surprise You When someone watches pornography, what is it that first captures their attention? Most people would probably guess the actors’ bodies and/or genitals, especially if they’re talking about male porn viewers. Although this would seem to make intuitive sense, is it really the case? According to research, not necessarily. In a recent study, heterosexual male and female participants viewed a series of sexually explicit images downloaded off of the Internet.

Finding Focus By Leo Babauta Do you ever have one of those days when you just can’t seem to find focus? When you fritter away your time on nothingnesses, distractions, wandering without really doing something important? Or one of those weeks? I have those days regularly. So how do we find focus? Take a step back. What do you really want to do right now? Maybe you have 5 things you want to do. Once you’re clear, you need to clear everything. Now sit there with your task.
