Science proves that bikinis turn men into boobs
Sexy images rob male brain of ability to make wise decisions

Interesting read though. They even had men masturbate while answering some of the questions! HAHAHAHA! :D

    actually a VERY interesting read!



    this made me laugh:

    To study this effect, they asked men to masturbate while answering a series of questions on a computer. (They helpfully created a system that could be operated with one hand.) For example, 42 percent of non-aroused men thought women’s shoes were erotic. But 65 percent of aroused men thought so. Nineteen percent of non-aroused men said they would agree to sex in a threesome with another man and a woman, while 34 percent of aroused men said so. Less than half, 46 percent, of non-aroused men said they would encourage a date to drink to increase the chance she would have sex with them, but 63 percent of aroused men said so.

    Loewenstein, one of the founders of the field of neuroeconomics, which links the workings of our brains to economic and other human interactions, sometimes using machines like functional magnetic resonance imaging to literally watch brain regions light up, says that sex and other strong drives “produce a kind of tunnel vision.”

    “Drives are designed to motivate you to focus on specific goals; they have evolved for that purpose, to focus on the goal to the exclusion of other goals or considerations,” he says.



    total science and makes absolute sense...just the study methods...hahahaha.



    btw - what would be MORE interesting would be not-so-attractive women in bikinis....would they have the same effect? hmmm......
    Stay with me...

    I know I was cracking up when I read that! Esp about the part that they could be operated with one hand!

    Yeah that would be pretty interesting to add to the study!

    i meant it in reference to the NOT attractive women, i don't think it would have the same effect.


    and hell yes, i think we all have our brains turn to mush in such situations...however, i'd guess men's minds get a wee bit more mushy apparently. ;) seriously....i think i could make wise decisions aroused, but i think it might be due to different apparatus...and/or being able to swithc on/off the brain thought process? obviously...just a guess.........:p

    i can think of a few men who i wouldn't mind seeing and trying the theory out though. :D

    I knew what you meant. You are right!

    Well, a few years ago I remember reading that there was a billboard with the latest Calvin Klein model wearing only his undies. And women were crashing because they were getting too distracted! :o So they had to take it down.

    But normally, of COURSE I think we women could keep our cool a little better. ;) hehe
