Loaded question?

How do you study anatomy without being sexually aroused. You're a better man than me. I couldn't do it.

The question, "How do you study anatomy without being sexually aroused? You're a better man than me. I couldn't do it," is an example of a loaded question. A loaded question is one that contains a presupposition or assumption that limits direct replies to the question and often leads to an implicit acceptance of that assumption.

Here are the issues with this question:

1. **Presupposition/Assumption**: The question presupposes that studying anatomy is inherently sexually arousing, which is not a universal truth. It assumes that sexual arousal is a typical response to studying anatomy, which is not necessarily the case for everyone.

2. **False Dilemma**: It creates a false dichotomy, suggesting that there are only two types of people: those who get aroused by studying anatomy and those who don’t. It ignores the wide range of responses people have to studying anatomy.

3. **Appeal to Self-Doctrine**: By saying "You're a better man than me," the speaker implies that their own experience is somehow normative or significant, and uses it as a standard to judge others. This is an example of subjective validation, where a person's experience is falsely presumed to reflect a general truth.

4. **Ad Hominem Implication**: The statement carries an implicit ad hominem attack by suggesting that the questioner has a lack of self-control or professionalism, and indirectly comparing oneself to the respondent in a potentially unfavorable manner.

To address such a question, one could clarify the assumptions and provide a more accurate perspective:

"Studying anatomy is a scientific and academic pursuit that requires professionalism and concentration. It’s important to separate the educational context from personal feelings. Many people, including myself, are able to approach the subject with the appropriate mindset, focusing on the educational content rather than personal sensations."

This response shifts the focus from the loaded presupposition to a more reasonable and fact-based understanding of studying anatomy.
