Scientists create 'sexual tsunami'

The secret to sex appeal lies with the tampering of pheromones, creating a "sexual tsunami", according to new research.

Scientists at the University of Toronto ... discovered that when the pheromone was removed, it created a "sexual tsunami" where the bugs proved attractive to one another, regardless of sex. The research found that male fruit flies with no history of homosexuality attempted to mate with their pheromone-free males ...

Even flies of a different species were interested, according to the research team.

"Lacking these chemical signals eliminated barriers to mating," Prof Levine said.

So they should hand out nose plugs on Ladies’ Night?

they removed the restraint.

That explains the behaviour of the homo sexual community. They have no pheromes.

No wonder they want don't ask don't tell.

They want to die f--king like fruit flies.

Send them all to Afghanistan and bring the straight troops home. Its Vietnam II anyway.

The research found that male fruit flies with no history of homosexuality...

Fruit flies live only a couple of months, egg to dead, drying husk. Hard enough for me to get my mind around the idea of a "history," let alone visualize some grant-endowed researcher watching carefully to see which fly is mating with its own sex. Think maybe some sport little iridescent flags?

But I guess the main thrust (if you will) of this study is that given enough chemical inducement, we'd all lust cataclysmically after the likes of Helen Thomas and Phil Specter.

I wonder how many of these “scientists” are closet gay activists.

[jackibutterfly]

And, we need to know this... why?

[allmost]

Okay, where? :)

the fruit flies with no homo history

What the hell

Unbelievable

They might be humping but my definition of mating says they gotta be trying to make babies and two of the same don’t cut it

“Male fruit flies with no history of homosexuality,” huh?

And how did they evaluate their sexual history? Lifetime observation? Detailed interviews with the test subjects? Perhaps they peeked into their diaries?
