| Science Says Guys With Sex on the Brain Do Stupid Things Tuesday , April 25, 2006
NEW YORK — Finally, science has confirmed what voluptuous vixens have known all along — the sight of a sexy woman is all it takes to send a guy’s decision-making skills careening into the realm of insanity. And the more testosterone the hapless dude has floating through his bloodstream, the worse the problem gets. Bram van den Bergh and Siegfried Dewitte, the researchers at the University of Leuven in Belgium who proposed the sexy study, say their findings confirm that those most likely to be in a position of power are the most swayed by influences of the opposite sex, Mail and Guardian Online reports. The pair gathered 44 student volunteers between the ages of 18 and 28 and had them participate in a financial game to test how they reacted to fair play. The students were split into pairs, and before half of the games, some were shown images of alluring ladies or lingerie. The research team found that the guys who took a gander at the libidinous ladies were more likely to accept unfair play than those whose eyes remained unexposed to the erotica. Van den Bergh and Dewitte then ranked the men according to their testosterone levels and found that the more testosterone a man had, the worse he fared in the tests. “We all think we are rational beings, but our research suggests ... that people with high testosterone levels are very vulnerable to sexual cues. If there are no cues around, they behave normally, but if they see sexual images they become impulsive," said Dewitte. “It’s a tendency, but these people are not powerless to fight it. Hormone levels are one thing, but we can learn to deal with it." The researchers are conducting experiments to find a similar effect in women, but have yet to find a visual stimulus that mars their ability to make good decisions.

LMAO!!! How much money was wasted on this research? C'mon... we've all seen the empirical evidence of this.

| Sounds to me like Bram van den Bergh and Siegfried Dewitte are just dirty old men sharing their love of Victoria's Secret catalogs. I want to be a dirty old man when I grow up... 
Why play lawn darts when you can be one?
Q: Miss, were you cited in the accident?
A: Yes, sir, I was so 'cited I peed all over myself.
