PROCEDURES
If you volunteer to participate in this study, we will ask you to indicate how disgusting you think certain behaviors are.

For women, this will also include questions about reproductive status, menstrual cycle and hormone replacement therapy.
Participation in the study will take a total of about 20 minutes.
