A study proves those who smiled more in childhood pictures stay married longer.
A recent study published in the journal of Motivation and Emotion dares to say those who smiled more in school yearbook photos (of all things) stand a better chance of marrying and never divorcing.
Scientists rounded up a random group of adults, thumbed through their yearbooks and rated the intensity of their grin on a scale from 1-10. Once finished, they quizzed each on their marital status and found those in the top 10% (the 10's) were most likely to be still married, where those in the bottom 10% (the scowlers or Blue Steele Zoolanders) were Read More
The size of a man's income influences his ability to please a woman in bed.
According to an article in the London Times Online, men who rake in the cheddar are also excellent at bringing home the orgasms.
(We've always thought aggressive boardroom behavior could translate into the bedroom. Alas, we could never keep a straight face with all those nauseating Donald-Trumps-in-training.)
Researchers surveyed 5,000 women across China and asked them questions about income, their partner's income and how happy they are with their sex lives. As it turns out, women who are involved with wealthy men report having more orgasms than those coupled up with middle class guys. “We … Read More
Erasing bad memories made possible in mice; could forgetting an ex be next?
For anyone who's ever wished she could completely forget she'd ever met her ex (and really, who hasn't felt this way at some point?), relief might be on the horizon.
American and Chinese researchers working together at a neural research facility in Georgia have discovered that flooding the brain of mice with a particular protein vital to learning and memory retention can selectively erase memory. While the mice are in the process of repeating an activity or encountering a toy they've already seen, simultaneously adding a burst of the protein leaves virtually no memory of the instance or object. All … Read More
Study says scientists can predict vaginal orgasms by watching you walk.
Remember that junior high rumor that guys could tell if you were a virgin by the way you walked? Well it's true! Sort of.
A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine claims that trained sexologists can tell if a woman has vaginal orgasms—that is, a gal who can come by intercourse not accompanied by clit stimulation—by the way she walks.
Researchers in Belgium observed women walking on the street, … Read More
Can unhappy couples blame a man's genes?
That cheating husband of yours actually may not be heeding the call of his "little brain" and instead heeding the call of his "big" one: Swedish scientists found that heterosexual men with two copies of a gene variant (called an allele) were twice as likely to report marital problems.
Women married to men with one or two copies of the allele also reported being less satisfied in their marriages, especially in regards to the couple's intimacy and ability to connect. The Washington Post calls the study "the first time that science has shown a direct link … Read More
