Study: Fat Men are Not Feeling Dead Sexy

Researchers at the University of Utah wanted to learn if obseity was biologically associated with an unsatifying sex life, and if so, whether this could be treated. Their study of 64 obese men showed that with increased body mass index (BMI), subjects had lower testosterone rates and "diminished ratings for sexual quality of life."

However, it is reversible: subjects who had gastric bypass surgery showed an increase in those same factors. More studies will be necessary (as always seems to be the case with studies) to further sort out the cause-and-effect relationships.

Art Students the Biggest Sluts, Study Says

According to a new study out of Australia, and an even more disturbing article about said study, art students are the most sexually active and know the least about STD's.

A pilot study at the University of Sydney asked 185 students aged 16 to 25 about their sexual history and awareness of the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia, the national AAP news agency reported.

Arts students were “more likely to be sexually active and to report having little or no knowledge of chlamydia,” said the study, published in the journal Sexual Health.

“Males in the study were less likely to have had sex as a group compared to the group of females in the sample.” Science students were also less likely to have had sex compared to their counterparts in other faculties, the study found.

What sluts! The best part, however, is the blogger's prespective on all of this:

Parents take note of this Australian study. Here, finally, is the reason to discourage your teenage daugther not to study art: she’ll be having sex, lots of it, not studying and she may even catch sexually transmitted diseases. I don’t think this finding comes as much suprise to parents.

We don't know. We've known some slu-tay physics majors in our day.
