Briefly showing the genitals to someone who asked to see them, without allowing others to see them Acceptable: 85%

Pants which cover the genitals but hold them in an extremely forward and prominent position (male equivalent of a push-up bra), making them the focus of attention Acceptable: 82%

A covering which, from a distance, appears to cover the genitals entirely but suggests that more may be revealed Acceptable: 82%

Briefly showing the genitals to someone who asked to see them, in a way which allows others to see them Acceptable: 77%

Demographic information This was designed to help us understand patterns in the results. It will not be used to stereotype group responses.
Gender Not surprisingly, the people answering the survey were overwhelmingly male -- 92%.	Ethnicity 75% of the sample was White/Caucasian.
Attractions to men and women
9% were mostly attracted to women; an additional 22% had "some" such attraction. Almost 28% of the sample left the "attraction to women" question blank. The layout of the question may have suggested to them that if they answered "Yes" to the "attraction to men" question, a lack of attraction to women would be implied.	84% of the sample was attracted mostly to men; an additional 9% had "some" such attraction.
Age Most respondents were in their 30s and 40s. Median age was 37.5.
Employment Not surprisingly, the large majority of the sample had full-time white-collar employment (59%).	Educational level Almost 2/3 of the sample had college or graduate degrees.
