A new study suggests the more testosterone the stingier the man.
If you're the type to troll the gym hoping to pick yourself up a nice little He-Man, you may want to know that what you gain in muscle bulges, you may lose in generosity.
A recent study conducted at Claremont Graduate University in California theorizes that men with the most testosterone are more selfish than those with a doughier physique. Researchers gathered volunteers and lathered half of them with testosterone-laden cream and the other half with a placebo. Testosterone Makes Chicks Think Like Dudes
Then the volunteers got into pairs and played a game where they decide how … Read More
Boozers love other boozers, says a SUNY study.
Interesting news out of SUNY (State University Of New York) Buffalo. Evidently, the couple that boozes together cruises together.
According to the University At Buffalo's website, Dr. Gregory Homish has been studying the behavior and satisfaction of couples for a decade. He has come to the conclusion that couples with similar vices (alcohol and cigarettes in this case) and levels of engagement in said vices are likely to be more content with their relationship. And the correlation was greater for alcohol consumption than tobacco use. Essentially, heavy drinkers are more likely to be happy in their marriage than a … Read More
Good sex is dependent on size and positive thinking—rather than foreplay, a new study reveals.
On science's neverending quest to find the cause for the female orgasm, it's only natural "research" would blatantly contradict itself a few hundred times or so. So we weren't shocked to read a study touting the benefits of length, crowing that size does matter! So much for gifted tongue flicks—ladies get out your rulers! Penis Extension Fails Catastrophically
A study led by Stuart Brody from University of the West of Scotland asked 1,000 Czech women what causes their "vaginal" orgasms. A vaginal orgasm, if you're curious, is a climax "produced simply from movements … Read More
How to spot a liar: four sure-fire signals that you haven't been using.
Most of us think we know the telltale signs of a liar—shifty eyes, sweating, a long, winding story that seems highly improbable. The stereotypes are even cross-cultural: a 2006 study done at the Texas Christian University found that similar perceptions of liars exist in over sixty countries.
In reality, however, there is not one behavior all liars exhibit and some behaviors we associate with lying could mean something else entirely. Because of this, few people are very good at spotting liars. Even the so-called "experts"—body language professionals, customs officials, etc.—are only right about half the time.
Deciphering a liar from a … Read More
On average, half of women surveyed around the world believe violence can be justified.
What to see something shocking? Look no further than the graphic below. Represented are the percentage of girls and women around the world aged 15–49 who believe that a husband or partner is justified in hitting wife under certain circumstances.
Jordan is at 90 percent. Ninety percent. Guinea follows, at 85.6 percent. At the other end is the Ukraine, which, at 5 percent, is the lowest of the 67 countries polled by UNICEF in a 2001-2007 survey of household attitudes towards domestic violence.
Lest you think these examples are outliers, on average, half of the female population polled responded that it's … Read More

Don't think all those tagged photos, flirty wall posts and ominous status updates go unnoticed.
We were just thinking the other day how relieved we are that Facebook was just a twinkle in Mark Zuckerberg's eye when we were in high school. Read: Facebook Group: I Need Sex
We aren't entirely sure our fragile, angsty hearts could've handled the rush of photos, wall posts and status updates advertising the whereabouts and canoodlings of our various crushes. The gossipy hallways and yearbook inscriptions were about all we could take. Thanks.
So it came as no surprise when we read that a study of 300 college students revealed that Facebook incites a significant amount … Read More
The odds aren't in our favor, says study. But why?
I've been married all of 11 days now and, as if on cue, the day my husband (still very much getting used to saying that!) and I tied the knot, he stopped putting the toilet seat down. I ignored it at first, but by our first weekend together as a married couple, I couldn't stand it any longer and said something to him about it. I made a jokey comment about his sudden change in behavior—more embarrassed than pissed at being such a cliché so early in our marriage. After over three years together, surely he must realize if … Read More
Yet another study proves men and women approach casual sex differently.
If you think the headline: Men Less Picky For A One Night Stand is as obvious an observation as The Sky Is Blue then, yes, you'd be correct. One Night Stand Dos And Don'ts
But it is our job to report when (yet another) study reveals that men enjoy casual sex and probably won't turn it down if you offer. Even if you aren't of supermodel caliber, or hell, even average looking.
Achim Schützwohl and his research team of Brunel University in London rounded up groups of American, Italian and German men and women for a … Read More
The APA says attempts to convert homosexuals aren't effective and may hurt people.
Remember a while back when the crazy church in Connecticut exorcised a gay demon from a teen, and then put a video of it online and was surprised when those in the general public weren't fans of the practice?
Well, apparently they need to read the latest research from the American Psychological Association. CNN reports the APA just released a massive 138-page report, which investigated 87 peer-reviewed studies, and found that conversion therapy for gays and lesbians is not only ineffective, it has potential to harm the individual.
