We all know that alcohol can make men do stupid things. Now science has proven that boners are even worse for our judgment...
According to Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions,
a book by MIT professor Dan Ariely, in a new paperback edition,
explores "Why Hot Is Much Hotter Than We Realize." We don't even know
what that means, since we all but failed high school science classes.
We'll let Professor Ariely explain, via a summation on The Book Outline
Wiki page:
The author and his partner
conducted a series of experiments on Berkeley students (no, not those
sort of experiments, silly.) Asking them a series of questions-- first,
straight; then, after the undergraduates had worked themselves into a
state of arousal.
- The results show that people simply don't realize how different
their decision-making is during a state of arousal. A few
representative results
- Can you imagine having sex with a 60-year-old woman
- Could you enjoy having sex with someone you hated?
- Is just kissing frustrating?
- Would you slip a woman a drug to increase the chance she'd have sex with you?
- Would you use a condom even if you were afraid that a woman might change her mind while you went to get it?
- Implications
- Someone may promise to just say no, but that promise is less likely to hold up during a state of arousal
