It is said that the way to a mans 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.

A man has to have his priorities. These days it’s food.

During my 13 months in VN, there were many times when I was VERY hungry. I distinctly recall food having the highest priority on my list of wants and needs.

Women have been demanding a good meal and fine wine before sex since prehistoric times.;-) In the game of Love, Women are the Dallas Cowboys while Men are a PeeWee Football Team. I think it's cute that they still want to play, though.

Have my doubts about the results of the study.
I’ve read a large number of books on POW experiences during WWII and the one thing mentioned over and over again was the longing for food.
Women and the idea of sex took a back seat in the minds of these men as they struggled with hunger month and month. Far more so the men in the Japanese camps than the German’s but still - food was thought number one.

In the game of Love, Women are the Dallas Cowboys while Men are a PeeWee Football Team. I think it's cute that they still want to play, though. Very true.
But the reason men still want to play is that it's better to play PeeWee football than not to play at all.
And even though women beat the pulp out of us, they are playing down and, as PeeWee as we are, we are playing against the Dallas Cowboys.;-)

Yeah, him and Ed Gein. Somebody forgot to tell them boys that “eat” was a euphemism.

I have heard this more than once when applied to special forces training.
The guy telling the story would say something like. We weren’t even thinking about women anymore but fantasizing about how we could get a pizza delivered out here in this swamp.
