comparing this response in males to “the same function found in lizards” will, of course, be seized upon by elements seeking to ensure that males remain under bestial status
but this piece is merely an empirical record of what has been known in other ways for millenia -- the male physical response to female beauty arises from the “reptilian” parts of our brains – the response was formed during that period of c.n.s. development when our limbic structures were as far as we’d gotten
we “came up” through the animals, so to speak, on our way to pre-frontal land, and the “reptilian” levels of “circuitry” are conserved in our spinal columns and “lower brains”
carl sagan’s “the dragons of eden” offers an excellent description of the evolution and layering effect of these structures
i have been writing for many years that the human male’s primal, and primary, relationship to the female is one of unconscious subservience and addiction – this research counters the feminist argument that men “construct” female beauty socially as a way of oppressing females
the truth is exactly opposite – it is males who are literally en-thralled by female beauty, else spirit would never enter this planet, much less serve it
female beauty chains us to matter, and the response cannot be destroyed without destoying the organism or gender
it can, however, be mastered by “higher” impulses, and much of the work of both mainstream religion and secular spiritual systems involves controlling this impulse – often for purposes not of freedom and joy, however, but for domination
as long as this impulse in males can be manipulated by females and cultures for reasons of power – the vampiric siphoning off of male libidic energy – we not only remain imprisoned, but unconscious of our enthrallment
the first step to ending slavery is to make conscious what was previously unconscious
equally enlightening is the statement, “men had an adverse reaction to good-looking males, suggesting they were threatened by them.”
yup
we imagine we are highly advanced beings, but in fact the vast majority of our responses and behaviors occur at this “reptilian” level, and are both unconscious and amoral
it is each man’s task to gain power over this aspect of himself, and to lend such power to his brothers and sons, so they might also be free -- in mythological terms, often this is called the "battle with the dragon" -- it's been going on a long time, and methinks it's about history
the male response to the female can indeed be demonized and utilized in service of occult power, as america has proven so disastrously – but the same attraction, when released from the will to power, can also be the basis for an ecstatic, non-coercive relationship between female and male
then what appeared to be demonic turns angelic, and hell is transformed into heaven

Thanks for the well thought out response remarksmen. I do agree with many of your findings about the unconscious attraction to the opposite sex. Although I think referring to this "subservient addition" as a hardwired inevitability precludes other factors such as intelligence, experience and...yes even societal influences that governs our behavior.
The empirical evidence of this study does clearly refute the feminist notion that gender norms are purely a product of socialization, and therefore can be "relearned" by society as a whole based upon feminist doctrine.
With this in mind, there is a tremendous disservice occurring in society in regard to the overt domination of feminist policy in academia. As no biological/neurological basis for gender roles are examined in a interdisciplinary basis.
What is of concern to me has a lot to do with the way feminists have manipulated an unjust, one-sided and non-empirical view of gender oppression by men of women into all facets of society.
I bet that almost all of Boston Globe's readership have no idea that referring to a man's brain as reptilian is a scientific reference to evolutionary progression. As it is not explained as such, and therefore it is denigrating to men. This is an example of feminism at work... pervasive anti-male rhetoric in all areas of human endeavor.
By the way, Sagan was a bright man with many brilliant ideas, but he also bordered on science fiction at times too. Sagan thought that it might be viable to genetically cross humans and chimpanzees -page127 - The Dragons of Eden
