Fact of the day

Since naked girls are more fun than white labrats, the university of Santa Barbara in California (USA) once submitted 33 men to an experiment in a stripteaseclub…

First the men were shown a performance of a dancer at a distance of at least 1 meter. After that a performance at a distance of 15 centimeters, without bodily contact. Lastly a performance was shown at 15 cm, with (very brief) bodily contact.

The conclusion? Men are more aroused if the dancer comes closer and makes bodily contact.

Wow, that's really surprising... NOT. I hope the people conducting this experiment weren't paid for it!

All the scientific time and effort that went in it! All so well spent :)

I'm personally more aroused by not completely bare naked girls. But its true that the contact makes the difference.

On a related note but trying to get "back on topic" ;)

Here is a followup entry with some candid photos of Mika Tan and Akira Lane from Mika's porn star feature gig at the Crazy Horse strip club in San Francisco where Akira Lane was Mika's roadie (assistant).

I believe she got within 15cm (6 inches) of the customers during her performances and given San Francisco standards there was more than very brief contact involved! ;)

i am a proud gaucho alum...how come we dont repeat this experiment. id be a great subject for this case study

In other news, the men were also found to enjoy "drinking beer." Scientists at Berkley suspect the consumption of grain alcohol is a social bonding ritual, in which men imbibe vast quantities of alcohol while engaging in other general socialisation activites such as watching sports.

A followup study is planned to discover whether female creatures also enjoy indulging in this socialisation ritual of imbibing alcohol while looking at attractive humans.

An early hypothesis by Dr. Heinrich Baldbolz stipulates that while some women may enjoy these kinds of socialization rituals, a majority prefers slicing vegetables and preparing dinner to human contact.

We will see what the boys at Berkley have to say...
