That is funny and clever.

The last strip club I went to was Gossip on Long Island in 2008 or 2009 with one of my friends who used to post here and a female friend of ours. By that time, strip clubs were so boring to me I nearly fell asleep on a couch.

I used to stay up very late to watch the sorts of movies mentioned on HBO, along with silly horror movies. The storyline to several of them was pretty much nerdy guys trying to find some way to get women. Though at this point, from my writings on here, I am obviously critical of it, much of the 80s and 90s debauchery was very funny and memorable.

OK, end of derail. Lol.

Interesting.

When I first got married, I was broke as fuck. Like >30k per year and housebroke.

I, umm, multiplied that a number of times in the last 9 years, and it never really did anything to either of our BMI. So it kind of flies in the face of this study, but then again I wasn’t rich when I started either - so maybe this just doesnt apply.


But when I had my revelation that I was a fatass (about 4 years ago, I think) and started losing weight, so did my wife.
We both were fairly stagnant for a while once we lost the initial weight and were reasonably happy with how we looked.


 Then I signed up for a bodybuilding competition.
My wife lost more weight than I did, and she didnt have much to lose.

Fellas, if you want your lady to lose weight while you’re still a tub of lard - start by losing weight yourself. Chances are, she will follow suit.

From the article:

A study in Austria found that higher subjective stress is linked to lower sexual desire and arousal in the moment. Furthermore, sexual activity was associated with lower subsequent levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The paper was published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

The results showed that when participants reported higher levels of subjective stress, they also tended to experience lower levels of sexual desire and arousal at the same time. While this was true for both genders, the reverse association—higher sexual desire and arousal being linked to lower stress—was only significant for women.

The study also found a key gender difference related to the biological stress response. Higher cortisol levels were significantly associated with lower concurrent sexual desire in women, but not in men. No significant time-lagged associations were found, meaning stress at one point in the day did not predict lower desire a few hours later. However, previous sexual activity was significantly associated with lower cortisol levels later, suggesting a biological stress-reducing effect of sex for both men and women.

Sometimes, I feel like we didn’t need a study to know things :slightly_smiling_face:

We should do a study to study that. Tax-payer funded, of course.

Booger McFarland. Oh, wait, sorry, I thought we were naming guys called Booger. Got to be a tough break growing up with that name, but I think when you are as big and tough as he was/is, you probably don’t get taunted too much.

I volunteer to lead a funded, fact finding mission to Brazil to further investigate these important issues.

This is interesting not because of the sugar part, but the psychology: expectation bias. This can be applied to so many situations.

Which means the parent then broadcasts the child’s lack of agency over his own behavior:

P: “You ate the sugar, now you’re hyper.”
C: “I ate the sugar, there’s nothing I can do now.”
