If you consider not just the titles but the full texts of the articles you find more pornography. Like "mutual attraction of heterosexual charges", "heterosexual structure of carbon", or "heterosexual photonic crystal."

How do you link your air hose to your compressor? Male to female?
Apply that principle to different, say, ions with an electrostatic attraction to each other and there you go.

Male to female, positive to negative, neutral coupler, etc...
Still funny though.

Thanks, "opposite charge" is the right statement.
