I might reword that from "most" to "most prominent".  I haven't done a survey of all atheists, but the more prominent ones and the organizations that do exist for atheists (such as American Atheists) use that.  

The first question determines whether you are an atheist or a theist.  The second question answers whether you are agnostic or gnostic about it.  

An agnostic person can answer yes to the first and no to the second.  That person is agnostic, and they are also a theist.  An atheist can answer yes to both questions, and they'd be a gnostic atheist.  

Gnostic/agnostic are mutually exclusive.  Atheist/theist are mutually exclusive.  Aside from that, any other combination works.  Whether or not a person is religious or not is an entirely different question.  You can believe 100% in god, and not be religious.  You can be religious without believing in god at all.

Attractive+attractive is good, because I like seeing attractive people doing sexual things.  

Attractive+non-attractive is ok.  Assuming the non-attractive person is a male, I'd probably be imagining myself in his place.  If the non-attractive person is a female, then it's rather unlikely that I'd find her so repulsive that it counteracts the attractive person. But, it is possible.

Non-attractive+non-attractive is bad because why exactly would I want to see two people I don't find attractive in some kind of sexual activity?  If it is someone I actually find repulsive then it goes beyond that to disgusting.

For example:

1.Attractive+attractive/ female+female

2.Attractive+non-attractive/ female+male

3.Non-attractive+non-attractive/ male+male

The thing that I really wanted to know was why some people don´t really care for the first option and much more prefer the second option. For example the op. The examples of not liking to watch fat people etc. have sex doesn´t seem to really work as many people still want to look at porn that includes a person that they are not attracted to as well as a person that they are attracted to (option2).

Are they born that way?  Do they really just imagine themselves being the non-attractive one, being in his place? Are they taught that this is the normal way that they should enjoy?

I would like to know what people think about this.
