Men are often told that they have sex on the brain, and it appears as though this may be true.
In one recent study in Nature Neuroscience, a team of researchers had twenty-eight men and women look at erotic photographs while an MRI took scans of their brain. The subjects looked at arousing photographs of heterosexual couples engaged in sexual activity, sexually attractive nudes of the opposite sex, and at pictures of men and women in nonsexual situation. When analyzing the MRI results, researches found that two areas of the brain, the amygdale and the hypothalamus, were more activated in men than in women when viewing identical sexual stimuli.
So, do men have sex on the brain? Of course, and do bears shit in the woods?
We really didn’t need a team of researchers to answer this question.
