From: Heterosexual, gay, and lesbian people’s reactivity to virtual caresses on their embodied avatars’ taboo zones

Figure 4

Study 2 (Gay men and Lesbian women participants): On the left of the figure the two boxplots regarding Appropriateness and Erogeneity for the interaction between Gender, Touching avatar and Area. On each box, the central mark indicates the median, and the lower and upper hinges correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles. The upper whisker extends to the largest value no further than 1.5 * IQR (inter-quartile range) from the hinge. The lower whisker extends to the smallest value at most 1.5 * IQR of the hinge. Points outside this range are shown individually. Signif.codes: ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘*’. On the right of the figure, mean values for Appropriateness and Erogeneity depending on the Touching avatar (male on the left and female on the right). The dark red represents the lowest mean, while the dark green represents the highest mean. The virtual bodies used in the figure were created using MakeHuman (http://www.makehumancommunity.org/).
