That in itself, while overwhelming, is not sufficient to prove
that the difference is biological rather than cultural. Recent
changes in culture have made female-targeted pornography more
acceptable and the demand has grown--to about 5% of the market.
What /does/ strongly suggest that the difference is biological
rather than cultural is that much of the beefcake in that 5% is
nominally targeted at women because that's culturally acceptable
while the marketers and sellers know the reality is that it is
bought mostly by gay men.
