Bikinis and other sexy stimuli can make men more prone to seek immediate gratification — leading to blown diets, budgets and bank accounts, new research suggests.
In the study, detailed in the Journal of Consumer Research, men alternately fondled t-shirts and bras (which were not being worn during the test).
After touching the bras, men valued the future less and the present more, said lead researcher Bram Van Den Bergh of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. Viewing ads with women in bikinis had the same effect.

Wait ’til Madison Avenue gets a hold of this.
But the understanding, at least an innate one of that particular interrelationship between bikinis and arousal, does not require intellect, just glands which generate testosterone. Perhaps the researchers are missing something else...
This is a good reason to make decisions before becoming aroused--not to get into a situation in which impaired judgment might be dangerous--and not to allow teenagers to get into tempting situations.
Mother Nature has been in business for a long time; what she wants is lots of sex and lots of babies; and she knows how to get 'em.
Oh why bother with decisions? I’ve never gone for “either/or” when you can just as easily go for “both/and”. Note posts #1,3,8,9,12 as well as your glorious #11!
Wow: it really works! Suddenly, I feel like going out and buying something I don’t really need.
Speaking of full tanks....
Study?? What study??? I seem to have lost track of what this thread is about but I wouldn’t mind more like it.
So "diet" is the new slang word? Must have missed that one.
“Okay. Sexual arousal impairs judgment..”
Especially at 2 am
Yes. At 2 a.m. it’s a good idea to be in bed with your wife.
Is there a Bikini Thread Ping List? I mean, separate from the more general Salacious Ping List?
If not, there oughta be...
You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted that you like it :-)
Is there a Bikini Thread Ping List? I mean, separate from the more general Salacious Ping List?
I don't believe so; at least I have never seen any evidence of one.
If not, there oughta be...
I applaud and entirely agree with your astute assessment of the substantial value of Bikinis to modern society and of the necessity to encourage their use and appreciation. Among the innumerable benefits of bikinis, they are a direct kick in the face to Islamofascism, as if saying "we reject every single aspect of your worldview and we will crush you on the battlefield as well as at the poolside and the beach".
Here's an old yet still essential thread which serves as testament to how powerful ladies' fashions can be as an essential weapon of modern warfare:
MEMRI TV latest clips Iran's Enemies Want to Destroy it with Miniskirts (Iranian TV); 3 more.
Too bad it's so old that many links no longer serve the great photos that were there, but the original video is still archived at the MEMRI TV site....just search for clip # 468
Regarding your excellent suggestion of a 'dedicated' bikini thread, I believe that it's such an important question that the Mistress of the Salacious Ping List should be consulted.
Xenalyte, are "bikini" threads (such as this one) typically covered under the "Salacious" umbrella, or do you think that it would be beneficial to start an entirely new Bikini ping list?
Sorry, that should have read:
"Regarding your excellent suggestion of a 'dedicated' bikini ping list,"
Indeed, you correctly ascertained my intent. Our enemies are of a nature that they can be repelled and/or crushed by something as simple as cultural differences (witness the many ways they are unable to handle normal aspects of modern, much less Western, life).

Yep, I agree that's the way to go. Those of us on the home front, enjoying the freedom and other benefits of the sacrifices made by our military overseas, should look for ways we, too, can contribute to the downfall of Islamofascism.
I might note that those soldiers who visit FreeRepublic will likewise reap enjoyment and inspiration from such threads.
