You’re making the same mistake Prager made. Attraction comes before arousal. Objectification of a given individual can only come after attraction. Systematic objectification of a particular body part (i.e. “Are you a boob man of a leg man?”) can only come after multiple times of attraction and arousal. Prager is mistakenly not making proper distinctions. He is lumping in all these things as objectification. Objectification is not natural as is attraction. Objectification is a learned response-based behavior.

I disagree with you 100%. When I’m attracted to a woman it is based on physical assets alone. That is objectification. In other words the object of my desire (breasts, legs, behind, etc) ate body parts completely separate from any aspect of the woman’s personality. It is only later, when personality conflict began to arise that that attraction fades and a man moves on. This is one of the reasons why a man can marry the most beautiful supermodel, and get tired of her and wind up getting a divorce as often happens in Hollywood. If this was patently not true, then prostitution would be a useless endeavor. We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
