anecdotally i was able to get 2/3 of porn and around 60% non-porn over 60 rounds...not statistically significant in itself, but piques my interest in this line

pie-in-the-sky thinking: is there some 'quantum immortality'-style argument that can be made for this sort of effect? quantum immortality is a somewhat fringe many-worlds-quantum-physics argument that an observer can never experience death and thus will always find him/herself in a universe in which they are alive (e.g. schrodinger's cat will always find itself in a universe where the atom did not decay). that is, in certain situations, a random event (e.g. decay of atom) would seemingly cease to be random (e.g. from the POV of schrodinger's cat) due to its consequences in the future (cat death by fumigation).
also, if this arousal-esp-effect actually is real (obviously exceedingly unlikely due to how bizarre its implications would be) i wonder if the human choice element would even matter; i'd like to see a similar experiment where everything is the same but there is no human choice and the curtains are just randomly chosen. the effect (if it actually did exist) might be due not to somehow arousal traveling backwards informing our consciousness but somehow arousal traveling backwards to influence what universe we find ourselves in.
