I have heard it claimed that blood pressure is influenced by the sex of
the observer: an observer of the opposite sex to the subject increases
the blood pressure.
Does anyone know of any literature which demonstrates this?
An obvious supplementary question would be: does it work with gay
subjects?
I will summarize replies to the list.
Many thanks,
Martin
