Your correct. Its a biological imperative that continues today in modern media.

Men don't stare at boobs and butts because they are perverted. they are actually, whether they know it or not, assessing the viability of potential selection for a breeding mate. Seeing if the structure is beneficial to a good birth, and if that female has the potential to provide sufficient nutrition. This is the same reason females are attracted to, more muscular men, men who are fit (yes.. jocks) and capable of physically defending her and her brood. Men able to provide the more hardy nutrition via the hunt..
so.. in regards to what is perverted.. should we not simply consider things such as.. sexual interest in those not in their prime for breeding as perverted? those interested in sexual activity with others that cannot produce offspring nor provide a life for them or their children?
having an interest.. digitally or otherwise, in the opposite sex is not only as far from being perverted as possible, but natural.
I don't remember the exact locations. But I watched a Doco. about this:
Men: Look at: Face, Breasts, Hips, Breasts, face.
Women: 'some thing like' Face, Chest, Face, Hips.
Both for the above reason. It is so ingrained that we don't even realise were doing it. So quick in generaly it takes a split second, and neither side reailizes it has happened. The researchers studying it used 'special camerers to record the movement of peoples eyes to realize it was happening.
We through billions of years of years have evolved like all animals (and humans are no more or less animals) to prioritise biologically (note logically in biologically) in what is most important... producing the next generation. No matter how or what happens in the human ideology of civilization when fails life fails.
The meaning of life is>>
When you look at it it's:
Survival: What we do as individuals in life: work for resources to buy food, water, shelter, to better the chances of attracting a mate (depending on standards) and interacting within the community (mob/tribe- town)
As a community: (mob/tribe) To protect one another for the above reasons, we all know working together betters our chance of success, I don't have to out run the PREDATOR just you, but, if there's 3 or 4 of us we can work as a group to distract and throw poo, sticks and stones until the predator decides were just to annoying and gives up (look at how 'healthy communities work in the modern era') we work together so we all benefit. Survive as a tribe. I've concentrated fire on a big enemy then dodged heaps when I got it's attention to give the other players a chance to 'heal up' or shoot it in the back.
Communities become Nations, 'Races' (hate that word) religions, Ideologies etc. One town in a nation mines resources for another town that provides food for the town providing resources. Any threat to 'Nation' or towns' can pool a large protective resource. The 'Nation survives by having communities that produce resources that other communities need, the communities survive because the individuals full fill roles (jobs) to produce the resources, and the individual has a job to procure resources (money in the modern world, but it could be as eaisly be an excess of livestock etc.) To make his or herself more attractive to the opposite sex. Physical appearance not withstanding but remember: free from disease, lack (or inclusion) of scaring, well developed structure (good nutrition) good living space (builds a nice structure or found/cleared a nice cave to owning a nice apartment.
This all reports back to us as surviving as an individual. No matter how civilised we get, at the absolute base level it will always boil down to : not out running you, just the predator.
What has this to do with guys purving on the avitors of female characters. Nothing.
Except "checking" out is as ingrained as natural development, and it's still here for a reason, despite how 'civilized' we would like to think we are.
If you read all that B/S I would like to state (look out for a shorter thread) I agree with the first thread. I have 'Purved', not crouched, look up and focus. More camera down for cleavage and or quick pan around. Worst is slowing down in a multiplayer map to let the FEM CHAR get in front. But in the first Check out pan, I did realize that there was another player on the other end, and thought, If their observing me doing that, what sort of D**kH**d do I look like. I occasionally still do a pan and scan, or be looking down as I wonder by, but sometimes Male characters to just to observe some of the available avaitars I don't have yet.
