Mass hysteria!
Thinking of learning types (aural, visual, kinesthetic) I am definitely a strongly kinesthetic learner with a visual slant. But the visual slant definitely has to do with being able to comprehend via reading. If there's something to be done--learning to bake bread, for instance-- I'd get the most out of it by doing it, then by reading about it, then less so by seeing it, then really-hardly-at-all by hearing about it. (I suspect that the latter has to do with the near-deaf right ear; my listening comprehension has never been good.)
Anyway, this extends to every part of my being. When it comes to this particular topic, I would really rather just have sex-- but reading about it is certainly heaps better than looking at it or hearing it; those two do very little for me.
I do suspect a basic gender difference, though surely generalized as I know there are exceptions. Looking at pornography just doesn't seem sexy to me. Words... words are sexy, though.
(A real body? Even sexier.)
