It's all about symmetry . . . .

According to a really-truly scientific study reported HERE, people are attracted to "hot dancers" because their bodies are more symmetrical than average. (Presumably the bodies of the dancers, rather than the observers.)


This indispensable font of information also reveals:
Pea hens and barn swallows prefer males with more symmetrical tails. One study found that women experience more orgasms during sex with male partners whose features are more symmetrical, regardless of the level of romantic attachment or the sexual experience of the guy.
Our joy at the resolution of these matters is unbounded.

[Ed.- The Standards & Practices Review Committee of G&S vetoed accompanying photographs of perfectly symmetrical sumo wrestlers, a 400-pound woman wearing a yellow bikini, and a beautiful young woman (nude, of course) with one brown and one blue eye. Thank you for your attention.]

Symmetrical bodies. Cool!

To paraphrase Orwell, some symmetries are more symmetrical than others. I think that it should be apparent that we are really only talking about leftside-rightside symmetry here. I don't think that top-bottom or front-back symmetry is really that altogether arousing for most people. If it were symmetry alone that was desirable, then symmetry on all axes would be most desirable, and, hence, the beachball would be the most erotic item in the universe.

Hence, that provocative circle.
