Michael Marsh Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi All, When urging men to choose virtuous women, Stef always references scientific studies showing how men "turn stupid" when merely thinking of sex. That makes a ton sense intuitively and anecdotally, but a quick search on various search engines reveals very little actual scientific literature to read or share with interested others. Does anyone (Stef or Mike in particular) have links to these studies? I'd love to be able to learn more about this. Thanks, - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eh Steve Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I can help you in digging up this information. Here is a general subject that doesn't address sexual arousal but will give you some hints on the general science behind emotion vs. IQ. I'll dig around for the actual IQ and arousal studies as I recall actually reading them at some point. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/leading-emotional-intelligence/201104/where-did-my-iq-points-go Heh... one link down on my google search: here is something more relevant: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-interacting-with-woman-leave-man-cognitively-impaired/ I'm googling IQ drop sexual arousal right now as I search for the studies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Here's a link to an official study referenced by the above. You can access it for free if you are a student or health professional. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103109001164 I'll translate for you guys who might be near a pretty girl right now: men stupid near EGGS! women not stupid near SPERM! The official verdict is still out women near RESOURCES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marsh Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Thanks guys! It's too bad that one study is behind a paywall, I'll see if anyone I know still affiliated with a university can get it for me. I'll also continue to get more creative in my googling search terms and post anything else I can find. Also Eh Steve, love your name. Haven't been to homestarrunner.com in forever!
