Watching a curvaceous woman can feel like a reward in the brain of men, much as drinking alcohol or taking drugs might, research now reveals."

Sorry, Sophia, but you've hit on a pet peeve of mine. It's been known for a very long time, decades, that the reward centers of the brain light up whenever anything the subject finds rewarding is encountered. Both in animal studies using electrodes or autoradiography and in humans using older imaging technologies like PET scans. Anything you like, if you like it, will make the reward centers light up: drugs, alcohol, cheesecake, womens' hips, getting a golden shower (providing you like it). If you like it, doesn't matter what it is, the reward areas light up. But nowadays, there's this gizmo called an fMRI that's shitloads more expensive than a regular MRI. It's way stronger and way more expensive than you need to get a good picture of the brain (or any other body part) for purely medical diagnostic reasons. It's a research-only tool. And now the researchers, in order to justify the expense have to come up with experiments to run. So, they just repeat the sorts of work that's been done before with PET scans or electrodes. They know what sort of results they'll get, no risk of coming up with nothing for their trouble and expense, don't really add anything new to human knowledge, and get a few moments (not even 15 minutes) of publicity from the press, because they aren't aware of the scam, for a study that basically affirms that men (as a group) like women's bodies.
Fuckin' brilliant. Now, go cure cancer, you fucktards.
so now I understand why you boys act so silly at times: Our hips are like drugs
Yup!
