Psychosocial Conditioning

There are no erotic sights, sounds, or smells as such. They only become so through certain erotic experiences.

 
    It is not surprising, therefore, that different times and cultures have felt attracted to very different ideals of beauty, or that a certain piece of music may appear stimulating to some but not to others. Human beings in general depend very much on psychological factors in their sexual responses, and many people become aroused by mental images alone. Indeed, there are some individuals who are able to reach orgasm simply by fantasizing about sexual matters.
