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.

We weren’t even thinking about women anymore but fantasizing about how we could get a pizza delivered out here in this swamp.
LOL ... been there done that! While in-country, I lost 15 pounds. Lots of fantasizing during those 13 months.

The way to a man’s heart is through his rib cage.

Food is more likely to still be available 20 minutes later than women.

Beta men just don’t understand the special bond between a redhead and their prey.

Alphas see/appreciate the challenge ;)

I will explain LBFM to my little Pinay spinner this evening. She'll get a kick out of it. She thought FLIP was funny too.

Yes and that’s what made it so hilarious.

Even my current victim begrudgingly aw the humor.

(Had to explain the sudden outburst of evil cackling)

Hey don’t forget. I’m practically a unicorn. I actually married and outlived one of your species.

Yea sure, my parts aren’t all there, the rest don’t work right and the scarring is considerable.

But it was worth it ;)

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.

Find it in men and I'll listen. In worms though...nah, not so much!

And don’t worms have sex with themselves to re-produce? So *everything* is a sure thing in a worm’s daily agenda?

Some do, some don't. Depends on the type of worm.
Nematodes, the type mentioned, are roundworms...sexual reproduction, sexes separate, no asexual reproduction.

That has to cause endless taunts in the garden soil: ‘aww.. lookit them poor sex slaves... someone should set them up some bars to help their ground games. Anybody know how to convert soil sugars to alcohol, there’s a rich boy!’
