Male brain is programmed to seek out sex over food

It is said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but a new study suggests that when it comes to sex, food is the last thing on his mind. Researchers have found that the male brain is hardwired to seek out sex, even at the expense of a good meal, with specific neurons firing up to over-ride the desire to eat. Intriguingly, women do not have the same neurons, suggesting that sex for females comes secondary to sustenance.

Ramifications:

Gay couple is in jeopardy of starving.
Lesbian couple is in jeopardy of weighing a collective 600 pounds

The study was based on examining a species of worm.

Most women would find that completely appropriate.

And the War On Men....continues....

Confucius say, “Woman who think way to man’s heart through his stomach, have sights set too high.”

And if he didn't get laid, she didn't get fed.

Don't be ridiculous.

Women have been demanding a good meal and fine wine before sex since prehistoric times.;-)

Although the neurons have only been found in the brains of nematode worms, scientists at University College London say that it is likely that similar mechanisms are at work in humans.

Yes.

Cuz humans are just like nematode worms.

There was a group in the 50’s that had a song (don’t remember the title), with these lyrics:

“A boy, chases a girl, until SHE catches HIM...”

A lot of truth in that line. Both sides are looking for some sort of payoff in a relationship.

They made a movie about this very topic....

[RoosterRedux]

She’s cute, in a gothic kind of way.

[central_va]

She is naked in about 90% of the movie too.

I might rent it tonight. Do you recommend it?

I knew I wanted to marry Mrs. Acad when she served me the most delicious spaghetti I’d ever had. Of course, she was wearing my shirt at the time; just my shirt.

“This is probably why most men carry an extra 10-20 lbs. so skipping a meal occasionally isn’t a problem.”

In an ideal relationship you burn off the calories having sex.

It is a lot of fun so I would. It is kind of like Monty Python meets Cro Magnon....

"I don’t know... remember the phrases, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” and “Nothin’ says lovin’ like something from the oven”? Many, many years ago... I snagged hubby via my homemade cookies and my Maryland crab soup."

Food is important, no doubt...but personally, I don't buy those statements as true. I think food is second on the list. :)

[Ghost of SVR4]

Damn, that was quick..hahaha...

[envisio]

I beg the differ.

Maybe in my twenties I would take sex over food, but now...

Hmmmm, a naked lady standing beside a plate of babyback ribs. Oh, man... decisions.

[AppyPappy]

Woman, bring me a f_____g sandwich.

This is probably why most men carry an extra 10-20 lbs. so skipping a meal occasionally isn’t a problem.

Or, as in my case, skipping a month's worth of meals isn't a problem!....

my homemade cookies and my Maryland crab soup.

Should anything unfortunate happen, keep me in mind. </cur>
