Even more interesting, straight males attended to pictures of naked women but were slightly repelled by pictures of naked men.

The article is VERY insteresting. It describes an experiment made with a technique that renders invisible images that our eye is seeing, through a series of flashes. It has nothing to do with the Romulan cloaking device, it’s only a technique to fool our brains.
