A Study of Male Attraction to Anally Filled Women
This article is a lightly-edited summary of our interview with Dr. Tomomi Kamakura.
Dr. Kamakura’s work often involves testing if a “common sense hunch” holds up to scientific scrutiny. She conducts field research about sexuality and has pushed the boundaries of our knowledge on several subjects.
Her hunch was that there would be a clear correlation in the data, and she suspected it might stem from a “damsel in distress” effect. Her first task though, was measuring if men even acted differently around plugged women at all. If there was no overt visual of a girl’s plug bulging in her pants, perhaps men would have no idea and treat her the same as an empty girl.
DESIGNING THE TEST FOR MALE ATTRACTION
Dr. Kamakura recruited several “Attractive Female Confederates,” or AFCs as they’re called in the field. To cover her bases, she recruited women who traditionally wear anal plugs during the day as well as those who didn’t. These women were “confederates” in the sense that they would secretly be working for her while pretending otherwise with male subjects. The goal was to see how interested the male subjects were in these AFCs.
Kamakura deployed these women at several college campuses, setting them up with a table, stack of papers, clipboards, and so on at high traffic areas such as the base of a footbridge or near the student center. Each AFC was told to try to stop men who appeared to be ages 18-25 and ask if they would help her with her psychology class. The AFC then asked them to fill out a one-page questionnaire of bogus questions. The key to the experiment was the next step.
The AFC would tell the male subject that she’d have the results tallied in two days and that if he was interested, he could call and find out how his results compared to the average. The AFC would then take his survey, write her name and phone number in the corner, then rip off the corner of the paper and hand it to him. Each AFC was assigned two different aliases to use as her name.
“We could have just had the plugged women use one name and the unplugged women use another. I didn’t want anyone claiming that there was a self-selection effect though. If it turned out the plugged group had more men call, someone might wonder if the reason is because hotter girls wore plugs in the first place, so we had to correct for this effect,” Dr. Kamakura explains.
Each plugged woman handed out her first alias to the men, then went around unplugged for four days, then repeated the experiment (without wearing an anal plug) with new subjects, giving them her second alias. Likewise, the group of AFCs who are not traditionally plugged did their experiment and gave out their first aliases, then Dr. Kamakura required them to wear anal plugs all day, repeat the experiment, and give out their second aliases. “The women who were not traditionally plugged might have had a pretty memorable day working for us. I know many of them were hesitant, but it was a requirement of the job, so they all did it,” she explains.
All they had to do next was wait to see how many men called back, which name they said they were calling, and if their conversation involved anything sexual or the man asking her out.
The results were mostly what Dr. Kamakura expected, but not quite. Roughly a quarter of men called back the empty girls and it didn’t matter if they were from the group who never wore anal plugs or from the group who did but took 4 days off. “It’s good those two unplugged groups showed similar results from the men. It means we had enough sample size to get consistent data,” she says.
But the two different groups of plugged girls didn’t quite have consistent data. The regularly plugged girls were called back and asked out about 40% of the time, while the group wearing plugs for the first time saw numbers around 60%. “The results were so far from each other in these two groups. But why? It had to be that the girls who didn’t usually wear plugs were really not used to suddenly having to go through the whole day with stuffed asses. They must have had more visible blush on their faces or more visible squirming from discomforts. The plugged girls were mostly used to it, and it just had to be a factor,” she says.
GOING DEEPER
To get to the bottom of what’s going on with the girls’ bottoms, Dr. Kamakura devised a new set of experiments that were very similar to the last.
Though Dr. Kamakura says that ideally they would run the experiment a few times to test the effect of various sizes of insertions, that is not always possible due to budget constraints. Several on her team had already complained that the study was restricted to males 18-25 because of the budget. “Why do lesbians always get the shaft?” her team asked her. She told them that she’d be happy to study girl-on-girl effects with the proper funding, but she had to get the current experiment done and publishable and she still had several more trials to run.
When you can only run a few trials, it’s best to stick to the extremes, she says. She’d do one trial where the Attractive Female Confederates wore dildos up their asses, rather than plugs. With only one shot at it, she chose dildos 1.5” wide and with 9” of insertable length. If women being flustered is what made them so attractive to men in the last trials, she had to go for extra flustered here. None of the AFCs were used to wearing anything that deep in public, and several of them had difficulty even fitting the dildos in.
For the sake of thoroughness, Dr. Kamakura squeezed one more trial out of this round. She wondered if extra width would have a similar “flustering” effect to depth. So she ran another trial where the AFCs wore plugs of the traditional shape, but 0.5” wider than they were used to. “Even as we set this one up, I was already regretting it. We should have gone even wider when we only had one shot at it.”
The results were dramatic. When attractive women with dildos buried 9 inches into their rectums gave out their phone number to men, the men called them and either asked them out or turned the conversation sexual a whopping 92% of the time. And when the attractive women wore plugs half an inch wider than their standard ones, the men’s response rate was 84%. Still very high, and would have likely have been even higher had the plugs been wider, says Kamakura.
Dr. Kamakura reminds us that the women’s backsides were hidden during this interaction, so the men could not see any kind of bulge as a clue that they were stuffed. “It doesn’t take science to know what they did see,” she says though. “The women were trembling, shifting in their chairs, blushing extensively, and had a noticeable look in their eyes.” The men clearly picked up on this, even if it was subconsciously.
DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
The effect here is called “Damsel in distress,” Dr. Kamakura tells us. As antiquated as it might sound, as out-of-step with the times as it might sound, men seem to have an innate need to rescue women in trouble. She believes the men in her studies are tapping into that, subconsciously picking up on how uncomfortable the women are, but also how horny they are.
To fully explore the damsel-in-distress explanation, it would make sense to run another experiment where the AFCs are in some sort of mild danger, but not related to anything sexual. Kamakura’s hunch is that you’d see the effect, but that it’s far, far stronger in a situation where the woman does have sexual feelings. She won’t run that experiment though. “There’s plenty of studies and research already done that shows the mild-but-measurable damsel-in-distress effect. I don’t do non-sexual studies though. We can just point to their research. I do cutting edge sexual research,” she explains.
To try to push the field forward, Dr. Kamakura had one last experiment in mind. (She found it surprisingly easy to secure funding for this one.) It had to be something similar to the previous ones that involved sexually flustered women, but she wanted to show that no plugs or dildos were needed at all. In her work, women are by far the most flustered by anal experiences, so she’d stick to that, but in a new way.
This time, the Attractive Female Confederates would “accidentally” drop their bags, spilling their belongings on the ground. The drop would take place about 50 meters from public restrooms. The women would get a male subject to help her gather her things, then she’d ask if he would escort her to the restroom.
Dr. Kamakura says the logistics of setting this up at so many college campuses was difficult, but her team was dedicated to the idea and pulled it off. They set up filling stations in nearby tents to fill the girls, always with giant 3-quart enemas, then sent them out to drop their bags and get help. Because a large sample size of data is needed, each girl had to repeat the experiment 15-20 times that day. When men helped them to the restroom 50 meters away, they would empty themselves then return to the filling tent. “They were real troopers,” says Kamakura.
Though no other researcher had done this kind of experiment before, the results didn’t surprise anyone. In the control group, over half the men didn’t end up escorting the girl to the restroom at all. They said they had class, had to go, etc., and seemed generally confused why they were needed. But for the full-enema girls, they were visibly flustered and deeply embarrassed. Though the men didn’t know why, they picked up on the sexual vibe and were attracted to the shame. At least that’s what the data implies: 100% of them helped these girls to the restroom. Almost half waited outside to talk to her again, even though it took quite a while for the girls to evacuate their bowels.
“Men know. Even if they don’t know they know…they know,” says Kamakura. It just goes to show how effective wearing daily anal plugs can be, as long as they are sized big enough for a challenge. “I guess the old aphorism that a stuffed ass and red face makes the boys smile is really true after all.”
