Nearly 100% of all participants (men/women) stated that when a woman was in pants they were focused on her butt and legs....when she had a skirt/dress they were focused on her hair, clothing etc.

Even from the front, women in pants were looked at on the lower half first but when in dresses/skirts the face was first.
Dear Brother, I have heard all kinds of claims from the pulpit, but sometimes there is nothing to back up those claims.

I would be interested if such a study was real or just another one of those hearsay things going around Christianity.

Exactly. In addition, what did they look at first when men were put on the screen? And what culture of people were viewing? If a woman was wearing a skirt, what would the viewers be looking at then, the breast area? Then we can tell women to wear burkhas and have evidence to show why!

In many other countries, nakedness is openly displayed and nobody thinks anything about it. It's mainly in America that we want to 'dirty' everything.

Culture definitely plays a role. Our church has a Burmese daughter work, and their men don't look twice when mothers are completely exposing their breasts and midriffs while nursing babies. The American men, on the other hand, tend to blush, look down, kick rocks, etc. (Or stare)

In America, you can't even sell laxatives without having a sexual component to it.
