My taxes had better not be being used for this.

>>Male flies repeatedly rejected by females are more likely to get drunk. Those with happy fly sex lives don’t show much interest in alcohol. Male flies find ejaculation itself rewarding...with or without a female present. In rats...the brains of first-timer males light up with intense biochemical signs of reward just from rodent intercourse, regardless of whether ejaculation occurs. In female rats, copulation needs the right circumstances to evoke reward chemistry.<<

Scientists must study fruit flies and rats to know this? Says more about the sex lives of scientists than of fruit flies and rats.

So fruit flies confirm two things:
1) Men go to the red light district to get laid.
2) Drinking alcohol is a precursor.
Whatever would we do without government grants?
...how much testosterone do flies produce anyway?

I think all critters that do “it”, share this trait.
Who paid for this study?
No, I didn’t read it.

We need another government funded study to look into whether or not FEMALE fruit flies enjoy sex. Perhaps they only PRETEND that they do!

Oh man, you never should have started this thread.

By the way, I am really happy for the male fruit fly.

Good reason to keep my swatter handy.

You don’t have to be a fly to enjoy that.

I read a story once long ago where they irradiated some fruit flies to make them sterile. Then they were going to release them in order to reduce the fruit fly population. All this cost a lot of money.

Unfortunately, they released the flies next to a house that had been freshly painted. The flies all went over to the house and got stuck on it.
