It’s just taking advantage of the wiring of your brain, like any advertisement wants to do. It will definitely make me look, though. A nice pair of boobs can make me crash my fucking car. But that doesn’t mean I value crashing my car.
On the other hand, I’ll tell you this: I tend to make my cover art very abstract; so abstract it often doesn’t even have humans in it. If you’re looking for a get-rich approach, that’s not it. 🙂
