Are women's and men's brains
alike or
different? Find out what you really know about the subject
of sex by taking this
sex quiz. UPDATE: To learn all about aphrodisiacs,
keep reading.
The brains of men and women may start out different, but
once they become a couple, they tend to think alike. And
people with personalities that come on strong?either
positively or negatively?tend to be more sexually
promiscuous.
Men are more preoccupied with sex than women are, but
both genders get in touch with their inner feelings when they
bond in an intimate relationship. Researcher Paul Perrin
says, "Men experience a lot of pressure in our society to have
sex with a number of different partners, the opposite of what
women experience as kind of the gatekeepers of sexuality.
Once they enter a relationship, however, the pressure on
men to have sex is not as strong and the pressure on women
to not have sex goes away."
In LiveScience.com, Melinda Wenner writes about a new
study showing that "dominance is a key trait of people who
have a lot of sexual partners."
UPDATE: Now that you have take the quiz and know
the "facts of life," you may want to learn about aphrodisiacs.
LiveScience.com lists the following:
Rhino Horn: The Chinese think that taking this increases male
potency, so they have hunted rhinos almost to
extinction. There?s no scientific basis for using rhino
horn as a kind of natural Viagra?the idea probably started
because the horn resembles an erect penis.
Spanish Fly: This is actually powdered blister beetle, a
European insect which contains a an acid-like juice called
which causes a burning and swelling sensation in the urinary
tract, which can be mistaken for sexual stimulation. The only
problem? This substance is poisonous.
Some foods are considered to be aphrodisiacs, such as
chocolate (which raises serotonin levels, making
you feel happier). One of these is oysters?probably because
they somewhat resemble the female genitalia, which at times
even smells a bit ?fishy,? probably because we humans
started out
in the water.
