Ah, leave it to the Italians:

Floriana Bertelli

And, of course, there's this (NSFW).

Did anybody notice what the stories were about?

So the gist of this study is that men like to look at attractive women but we aren't necessarily paying attention to what they are saying?  Huh, who'd a thunk it?

That could explain why I was never really annoyed by my wife until she was well into her forties. ;)

I think she'd know I was kidding.

I did explain my "balance" theory, though, which I doubt is unique to me.

When we were younger, good looking (at least she was), and having sex often, all of those things outweighed any negatives. As we age, that side of the balance scale becomes emptier, and so the negatives become more pronounced. When there's something else to fill the "young" pan of the balance scale, things are ok. If it's not being filled, that's a problem.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

In the name of science, this study should be repeated to measure the effect, if any, on female viewers.

In the interests of science, I volunteer to serve as a female viewer.
