Men use more visual and explicit porn in general though. My understanding is that they are more visually connected to their sexuality and sexual interests than females are (generally.) So this says to me it's biological, not cultural. Wouldn't the question be if androphilic men use more visual porn and are more objectifying of their desired sex than gynephilic men? There's the behavior (androphilia) and there's the biological system it's plugged into - one being a female body and one being a male body, with their differences in sex drive, number of partners desired, and age-based "sexual market value" which is an awful term but one I find to be useful, sadly.

Well sure. That's what I think might be going on. That dynamic effect creates a male androphilia on average not quite like the androphilia that appears in women, on average.

I'm not sure what you mean there?

Which is natural.

Sure. Perhaps all the attributes that are described as different between sexual behaviour differences between men and women could be reduced to "drive." I'm not sure. If I'm going to be essentialist I think I try to reduce the qualities in number. But other attributes certainly seem independent and important.
