Haters Trying to Hate on Sexy Female Sex Pill

Hamilton Nolan — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:09:02 EST

Sexy scientists say that they have, for real, no playing, discovered a drug that boosts female sexual desire. Everything is better now! But who's that trying throw salt in your female sex drug game? Haterz!

This drug, Flibanserin, was supposed to be an antidepressant. It sucked at that but it's great at making women horny, and now clinical trials have proved it! But oh, no, stop, stop having your fun, everyone stop everything:

Some doctors are sceptical about the need for pills to boost female sex drive.
For some, reduced sexual interest or response may be "normal", says Professor Irwin Nazareth or University College London.
Others say relying on a pill could stop couples talking through underlying issues.

That is only the whole point. God.

Catholic Dude Jealous of Sexy Study

Duke University sponsored a study on female students' attitudes towards sex toys, which the director of the Duke Catholic Center worried would encourage the young women to "just sit around and masturbate." Do studies really do that? Awesome. [Katie Drummond]

Get Married, Do Chores, Get Laid Rarely

A new study by love scientists says that married couples that do more housework together have more sex. But! Not so fast, horny chore boy.

On housework, wives spend an average of 42 hours per week, and husbands spend 23. But husbands spend 34 hours on "paid work," and wives spend 20. Plus, "paying bills" counts as housework, so who even knows what's what? Let's get to the sexxxy part!

Couples reported having sex 82.7 times a year on average, or 1.6 times a week, about the same as in other studies.

All that housework just to get laid once a week! Has anyone tried having sex instead of doing housework? Perhaps it is time we moved towards that model, for equality, and love?

Oh and also scientists proved that Viagra works. So.

'Abuse Me,' Plead Scientists

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Horndog scientists are studying sexual sex fantasies of men and women and they've come to some startling conclusions: We all want to be dominated like dirty animals. But only if you want us for our sexiness!

See, in old and unenlightened times, people had crazy theories that only women liked to be dominated, and they liked it because they were masochists and liked pain and whatnot. Not so, say modern fucking researchers!

Both men and women like fantasies of being dominated. And furthermore, "the socially dominant women especially enjoyed fantasies of submission. But WHY? One theory, from a science person:

"If these fantasies instead reflect a passionate exchange with a powerful, resource-holding, and attentive suitor, then through them the dominant woman could reinforce her high standing in the group and her favorable opinion of herself."

Basically they're saying the ladies want to feel so freaking sexy that men just cannot resist them. Come to think of it this is also how men want to feel. Sexy scientists agree with you!
