Ok, a better way to phrase that would be "the reason that men like looking at naked women is, or should be, well known to everyone".

Actually, that depends on what you mean by 'known'.

Everyone knows that most men like looking at naked women, and many who don't feel the attraction themselves can more or less understand it by extrapolation.

However, I don't think much if anything is known about physiological basis (eyes to brain) for men liking to look at naked women.

Agreed. I suspect that Salemicus's statement was meant to be interpreted in the same way.
