So that's why my wife got a personal trainer.

You'd better hurry. If Rick Santorum is elected I suspect he'll act quickly to ban women going to gyms.

The minute I walk into the gym I have a DOORgasam. My instructor is not very motivating so I have a BOREgasam. Me and my three workout partners have a FOURgasam especially when we discuss Global Warming and then we have a MULTIPLE GOREgasam. I can never get enough so I have a MOREgasam. The 99% have POORgasams. When we become overly loud, or my pet lion is involved we have ROARgasams. The herpes crowd have SOREgasams and the extremely overweight have pants that TOREgasams. So let me end this rant by saying that the Gym TRAMP has a BONAFIDE WHOREgasam!!! Key Key was HERE!!! Whahat?!

sounds like they are sitting on the machine wrong or on the wrong part of it.

I hope they wipe the equipment down when they are done.

Dang! if this were true for men, I bet we would all be in a lot better shape...

my personal favorite is the WhoreGasm. You really gotta work to please a hooker

Gwad! Don't believe I'd ah told this. Especially now while the republican primary is on. Rick Santorum is liable to want to close all these gyms and arrest the women.

Ahem...one more if I may...A selfish workout partner has a...I GOT MINE YOU GET YOURSgasam!!!

Oh those fun-loving endorphins!

I've heard that some women get pretty excited when their man does housework too.

Geez, and they say I make everything political...

The findings add qualitative and quantitative data to a field that has been largely unstudied, according to researcher Debby Herbenick, co-director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University.

I wonder how much taxpayer funds Ms/Mrs Herbenick received for this study. Shucks, I wanted to hear about the sexual activity of moles in California.

It has to be a VERY SLOW DAY at MSNDC to publish this seed.

It has to be a very boring day for you to come on msn and comment on something you find stupid.

I hope they wipe the equipment down when they are done.

NOT ME!

I got hot just reading the article, and I'm not even female. Note to lard-assed women...get your asses on a treadmill and you might experience an orgasm once in your lives and lose some pounds doing it. Chocolate consumption is not a sexual activity...unless you're a Kardashian.

cygnus, thats not a nice thing to say to your future wife. What's wrong with you, that lard -ass could be a hot thing waiting to pop out, either that or she ate the hot chick.

Dan, thats just not right.

This is disgusting! If they are about to have an orgasm they should leave for the restroom. It is bad enough that we have to put up with the smells and sweat after they have been on the equipment. It is not sanitary and fair for the other patrons of the gym. What about STD's? There is new evidence that Hep C can easily contracted through bodily fluids other than blood.

Drezz-2874852 "once again something sex related completely wasted on the wrong sex."
Says you and who else. Some men are so not supportive of women's feelings I'd say this is anything but wasted. Fortunately I am not married to such a man.

seriously b-895713? I'd say more men are concerned than not. It is totally unfair to make this sort of generalized statement. You do realize that most of us want to 'be all we can be' in the sex department, which means yes we want the woman to be satisfied. With that said, yes most of us do care about womans feelings. It seems like most woman don't realize men have feelings, but I know that isn't true. It's the the cruel ones that seem to stand out more. As for Santorum, I'm sure that if he read this article he probably got as much out of it as I did. Which is, yes this is interesting, woman are lucky I wish I could have an orgasm from working out. Of course how embarassing would that be? A woman can hide something like this a lot easier than a man, and now we are going down a path we don't need to go down. :0) just remember, we're not all that bad. It's all about communication.

I agree. The gym should have something about this in the handbook. When a woman feels an O coming on (orgasm, not oprah-gasm) she should hit a large red button in the middle of the gym, causing the lights to flash and an audible alarm. There should be a hazmat suit nearby to isolate the offending female's bodily secretions. Thereafter, she shall be whisked to the nearest cleansing and decontamination facility, licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Can't be too careful. When the danger is over, the local prosecutors shall begin by filing charges.

They we can all watch as she get decontaminated, if they put somes seats and a two-way mirror, woo-hoo!

wow you men are really gross! last time i checked women have clothes on in the gym that would catch their female secretions if ANY. normally they don't just splat out like mens. i think your getting your mechanisms mixed up with ours... now back to the topic... i always go to the gym and iv never felt this sensation. this sounds a little bogus although everyones body is different i guess. finally if a hot woman (well who are we kidding, ANY woman) had an orgasm for all to see in the gym, i guarantee the guys would have a front row seat so stop your complaining and insults its just gross

I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and although I've never come close to having an orgasm on any machine, I'd be lying if I said I didn't sometimes get turned on during my workouts. There must be something about the heart racing fast, heavy breathing and all the testosterone in the atmosphere. So I guess there is something to this study.

I'll never forget the time when I was at my gym waiting for this girl to be done with a leg press machine where she's seated upright pushing weights with her legs. So the girl does a couple of sets, gets up and leaves.

I and this other guy who I didn't know was also waiting for the machine walked up to it at the same time and before we said a word to each other we looked down at the seat where this girl was and we saw a pool of a clear liquid. And I mean a POOL. We were both simply left speechless.

We looked at each other and just didn't know what to say. He walked away while I went to the nearest paper towel dispenser and got a good load of it to wipe the seat clean.

I always wondered what that was about and now, thanks to this article, I think I know what happened.

LONG LIVE WOMEN!!!

What the researchers didn't do was to also include men into their research as I will bet they'd be surprised to find out that some of us experience the very same reactions.

Jolie, You're actually right about that. Your body responds to your breathing in different ways. There is a whole method of acting which revolves around training yourself to recognize different breathing patterns for different emotions. That way, a learned actor can simply induce the correct breathing to make themselves cry, yell properly, or scream on stage and have it seem realistic.

I would assume that since humans naturally are having sex during intensely focused, hormone secreting times, that its a fairly natural response.

Some of you and your comments are quiet amuzing. But the article was about females that have O's while exercizing (spelling?), and how embarrased they get. Well dont men have similar problems when they are out to eat or working , sports etc and they get erections and can't really know why (be honest with your selves) some times it maybe a wift of smell that reminds you of a special time or moment or nothing at all, or maybe the feel of the pants that you are wearing. Well, kiddos its just who we all are, wheather you want to face it or not it has to do with being a human and the complexity of us all. There is a beauty of it all that we in the animal kingdom are able to have sex and pleasure in any form without reproducing as do the other animals do we are very lucky. Don't put it down just enjoy the ride and when it happens to you ( male or female) embrace it. Have a nice Day! :)

jolie, wanna ride my bike?

so what and if your sittin at a table how do we know whats goin on, you got a stupid look on your face or something. I doubt it, Male type person. I've been around males I have brothers, a husband, sons, male friends, I was in the military and they all tried to be discreat when it came to what one knows or doesnt. And as far as females go you are very badly misinformed, we can hide any and all traces of sedretions, neighbor of the beast. We are just know how to do this, naturally. As far as machines go have you not heard of sweat? You males do it all over the machines and don't wipe them down when you leave, gross! So before you jump to conclusions ask what it is, although you might get slapped. How do we not know yours is not sweat, maybe you worked up so much that your bladder leaked?

This is an interesting collection of anecdotes, some of which might even be true, but that's it. Without a scientific sample, there is no scientific conclusion. Note their demographics, 69% heterosexual, ergo 31% lesbians. Unless you think a third of the women in America are lesbians, then we know right there that the sample is being sorted by some means. We are not told the selection method, but there is a reference to an internet survey. Probably the survey was offered on feminist or womens-studies type sites, which would attract a larger than normal lesbian traffic. Either way, the flaw renders the study useless from a scientific point of view. Maybe the headline should be "Now we know why lesbians like to exercise", since that conclusion is closer to being supported than the one they claim to have established. Sloppy science is not science, it's just an idiot screaming for attention, or, as they are known in modern terminology, a reporter.

In 1896 it was the earliest for Spring to come to the USA, until this year. Mt/PT time zones will see Spring at midnight the 19 of March and EST will see Spring on March 20th at 5:14 a.m.

Spring is loosing a min per yr and about a 1/2 a min per yr for winter. So Summer is gainning the lost min from Spring and Fall is gainning a 1/2 min from Winter. This is also affecting animals in their reproducing cycles, and nature. We are not the only ones with screwy weather also its effecting the whole world over.

Oh, check out your science on the internet and it will tell you more facts and why this is happening. Maybe thats we are all a bit edgey toward everything.

why do I have a bunch numbers after my name when I never put them there and whats with those little green stars? Or maybe you alls don't have them green stars next to some names.

Babs, the numbers represent the number of Babs and the green stars are to denote moronism :)

Babs, your incoherent rambling almost rendered me speechless, but that's okay. I recover quickly.

First off, not one woman in the history of humankind was born with an instinctual knowledge of how to keep her "secretions" from soaking through her clothing. Discretion is learned, not something you are born with. Liquids either soak through fabrics or run off of them. In either case, there is evidence left behind. Then there's the smell...

As far as sweat goes, that's what I'm assuming 99.9% of the moisture left behind on a piece of gym equipment is made of. I always carry a towel with me, both to wipe down the equipment before I use it AND again when I am done. That's just common courtesy, like not pissing in the pool.

What? Are we not supposed to be pissing in the pool? Oops, my bad...

ah I just think everyone is a pissant! Oh that is a real ant, tiny but real. Look it up in the dictionary, buck-o

I dont care any more I dont have problems with smell and never have. You can ask my dad, my husband and the guy that raped me!! If you can find 2 of them, my husband would just tell you to go to satan's world. (I dont want to use bad language, just misspelled) I have had my share of O's and some unplanned, but oh well, I live with it, whoopy t do, who cares.............................................

It may be that exercise, which is already known to have significant benefits to health and well-being, has the potential to enhance women's sexual lives as well," Herbenick said

This is silly. Every physiologically normal woman can bring herself to, or at least to the brink of, orgasm pretty much anytime she wants--while sitting in an office meeting, for example--using nothing more than her internal muscles--the same muscles she uses to stop the flow of urine--and no one the wiser.

Most women discovered this on their own as children. I learned it around the age of 7 while tightening my muscles to balance on the very edge of a float toy in our swimming pool. I didn't know what happened to me, but it sure felt good!

Exactly Patteri. I also can self orgasm without any physical stimulation. It amazes my husband. He loves it. In or out of the gym, it doesn't matter.

In reading some of the responses from the men, I can truly understand why they either don't have women, or don't appreciate the ones they have.

Janine --

In reading some of the responses from the men, I can truly understand why they either don't have women, or don't appreciate the ones they have.

LOL That was my thought, too. As a mature woman, I was amazed that with all this rampant sexuality, men don't seem to know any more about women's bodies than they ever did.

Makes me think the scenery may be different, but it's still the same old one-way street.

This makes perfect sense. About the time my wife started to work out she stopped @!$%#ing me.

no wonder women 'cuddle-up' with the treadmill after their run. hahaha

wow, got my comment collapsed, mustve hit a nerve with some women. seriously, women are like the rich kid with all the newest and coolest toys, and says "u know i think ill go read a book"

@key2joy.... I LOVE YOU!! You have made my day

Drezz-2874852

Yeah, rarely is there a breakthrough about sex that benefits men, but there is a major benefit being a man because it's not that difficult for us to get aroused and in the marketing campaign of "sex sells", we are the main focus.

So it's not all bad.

And woman do like and enjoy sex, regardless of what you think. Your comment just proves that you've never been invited or included - too bad for you.

I personally like climbing the rope in gym class. That's why I became a gym teacher.

Party on, Garth!

Really? Not in my area. It's a pretty even 50/50 split. Although I'd bet the gym you go to makes a big difference... a Gold's Gym-type facility is probably going to be packed with way more meatheads than, say, an LA Fitness.

Golds? LA Fitness? Dude. I'm talkin Neosha County Medical Rehabilitation and Fitness Center in Chanute kansas. And they do have as much space devoted to ellipticals as they do to weights.

Ah. Sounds like you'd see more octogenarians learning how to use their new hips there than young hotties. Perhaps there's your problem.

hahahahaahhahaha, just had to laugh............

If you want to be around more women, try horseback riding especially hunt seat or saddle seat. I have yet to see a barn that has more than an 80/20 ratio of women to men ( and that's being generous! )

You get a insurance company reimbursement for a gym membership?

yep

TamL, I've had about 6 or 7 different insurances in the last few years, and almost all of them gave some reimbursement for gym membership.

When you work out, you are less likely to need to use your health insurance. It's an investment for them. Ideally, your health insurance would love for you to pay your premiums until the day you die and never, ever have to use their services. Any risky behavior (smoking, obesity, family history, pre-existing conditions) adds to the likelihood that you will, at some point, need to use them. They aren't in the business just to be nice and cover the cost of your wheat grass smoothies and pilates classes. They're making a bet based on your lifestyle on whether or not you will make them money, or cost them money.

Just a note, orgasms are optional and not mandated like Obamacare or unconstitutional. Just thought I'd mention that as some dingle berries had to inject politics into this interesting discussion.

Me too, screw the weights, I'm going where the ladies are.

Herbenick hopes to tease out the trigger in ongoing research.

Giggity.

It could have been worse... they could have been Rick Santorum responses.

This is a scary time for America, especially the women. Why haven't you revolted yet? If Santorum wins the nomination, you'd all better consider emigrating. Unless you're already used to wearing a burka and hajib.

Rick Santorum could definitely be a threat but women would unite and push him back in his place. There is no doubt about that.

Buffy- So you're not respectable? How you doin'.... Just kidding.

For all of the dangers to women I keep hearing about here in the US, why is it that women aren't concerned with the status of women in the world? You all know it's a dopy political ploy to pit politicians against each other regarding women not having the right to birth control. Complete bs and fabricated to look bad.

Now around the world women are loosing their status in society and being pushed back into the dark ages and no one seems all that worried. Women in Libya, Egypt, Afghanistan, etc. are being forced out of work, loosing the right to an education, being pushed back behind sharia law (3 witnesses or it's not rape, honor killings, etc.), no freedom of choice, no freedom to wear what they want, can't drive, and so forth. Where is all the outrage on their behalf? All I'm hearing is, "Well, it's the Arab Spring...." Why not get a bit outraged for them??

Wrong, we do care, greatly. But just because we're having to devote time to putting out fires in our own backyard doesn't mean we aren't also devoting time to fires elsewhere. Of course its going to seem like we're more focused on ourselves when there is a looming issue directly affecting us and not just women in general.

Its a not a polical ploy, its an obession. After Republicans gained control of state Legislatures across the country in 2010, more than 1,100 anti-choice laws were introduced in 2011 — a new record. Eighty-three measures have been passed into law. So far in 2012, an additional 430 were introduced. We may break the record again this year.

JoeNY - What's wrong with fixing our own issues here in the US first before trying to fix other people's problems? As it is we really don't have a leg to stand on trying to tell other people how things should be done. Also, we're already doing what you suggest.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/23/magazine/23women-list.html

There's a good chance Thrush would not understand this article either. Exercise? What's that?

Oh, don't worry, women are watching, very closely. Funny, Santorum, if he gets wind of this article, look out YMCA...you will be closed or he might try to segregate the gyms into male and female. Freak of nature, he, Mitt, Newt and many others. Look out. You have pi**ed of myself and a bunch of other voters, women and men.

buffy, bite mine ... if you spend 3K a year on Birth Control a year you have to be a professional ... its 8 to 50 bucks a month max for Birth Control PER PLANNED PARENTHOOD ... I am not a Rush fan but Fluke (a known lesbian) was lying about the money she spends and should be fined and imprisoned for lying to congress ... just like the baseball players were (yeah we know they were Men and she is a woman ... so much for equality) (And Buff, I am very pro womens rights and voted for Hillary so again Bite me!

HD,

Does it matter how much it is, really? You have insurance covering Viagra, but somehow because someone has a moral objection to controlling when one has children, hormonal birth control is pay-your-own-way? Last I heard, Erectile Dysfunction wasn't exactly a life-threatening condition, just like how the menstrual cycle isn't. Oh wait, it can be! () But we don't want to regulate an unbalanced hormonal system with hormones that may interfere with a potential person coming to be. That'd be immoral! Besides, the cheaper it is, the better the argument for just covering it, similar to how most insurance companies realized the prevention is FAR BETTER than the cure (full coverage of wellness exams, for instance). Know how much insurance companies shell out for a pregnant woman to have a child? Hint: It's a lot more in 9 months than birth control is in 5 years.

The whole idea of requiring women to pay out of pocket for a prescription drug (yes, you need a prescription even if you're getting it out of pocket) is just stupid, especially when only a portion of what it does is attributable to birth control.

Erectile Dysfunction wasn't exactly a life-threatening condition

You are not a man I assume, to us yes it is a life-threatening condition. Let's say we rather die than to do without. Seen that movie "The Walking Dead"? The male cast were a bunch of dudes with Erectile dysfunction.

I find it funny how so many of you believe Santorum wants to take away womans rights. I can't figure out when people will stop adhering to the extreme of either side and try to actually listen for themselves what people are saying. I stopped, and learned that the left wasn't so bad. Although I do not agree with some of their views, they aren't the boogy men that the far right want to make them out to be. Just like the people on the right aren't the demons the far left is trying to make them out to be. And, this is why our country is polorized, the extremes of either side attack, we see articles like this and people attack because of what they are told, and nobody wants to give anyone that may not hold to their views a chance. They are automatically horrible people that want to do mean bad things. Anyone ever thought that when a person runs for president the only thing they want to do is make this country better? They want to go down in history as the best president to ever serve this country. To be a failure as president would be a horrible thing, and there are many people on the other side that secretly want you to fail. So, while I'll not vote for Obama I honestly believe he's doing his best, he's a good honest person and loves this country. I jsut don't believe that his idea's are the ones that we need.

BTW, there is no way a radical viewpoint could possibly be passed, so IF Santorum had some radical view on woman and contraception he wouldn't be able to get it passed. How many of you have heard of checks and balances? Congress, senate? It would be impossible for a radical president to get a radical social issue of his passed, wouldn't work. The scare tactics are dumb. Not happening.

hd-3717790, it's odd that you would quote Planned Parenthood, since Republicans are trying to make sure that their services are no longer available to women. And if you know any facts at all about contraception, you should know that there is no reason for a "pro" to spend significantly more for contraception than a young woman who has sex a few times a year.

Also, Ms. Fluke never mentioned to Congress how much (if anything) she personally pays for contraception, and the only $3K figure mentioned was in relation to a student's time getting a law degree, which can be 6 or 7 years. Maybe you should read a transcript of her testimony before you make a fool of yourself by trying to comment on it.

So I guess if you see a woman fall off a treadmill you know what just happened...

Scott---Thank you for putting into words much of what I have been feeling lately. However, I am not quite so magnanimous as you. I am so angry at all the bullsh8t being heaped upon the heads of Rush and Sen. Santorum. Neither one of them has said anything about denying a woman's right to choose, or whether or not she can have access to birth control!!!!!!!! They just don't want everyone to have to pay for one person's choices. You want it? Pay for it yourself!!! If a woman needs birth control hormones for medical reasons, fine. Let her insurance cover it, as long as a doctor says she needs it. Neither Rush nor Sen. Santorum would object to that, either. But Ms. Fluke's statement about how 3 years' of birth control costs more than a grad student makes in a typical summer makes NO SENSE AT ALL! It's a total non-sequitur. Apples vs. bicycles. If Planned Parenthood didn't have financial support from the government, they could not exist as a privately-run business. You women want to make your own choices about your reproductive cycles? Step up and take financial responsibility for it, as well. I've never heard of an insurance company covering a man's Viagra, but if it did, the same standard would apply in my books. Quality-of-life issues are not the purview of health insurance plans, or should not be, anyway.

Comments like the ones on this thread, by people who have never heard an actual word spoken by either of these guys, taken as facts presented by the lamestream media spinmeisters, are so far out of context as to be outright lies at best. Most of the liberal comments I see about either Rush or Santorum accuse them of saying the exact opposite of what they have really said, but what can you expect? Bush ain't around for them to bash on anymore, so they gotta feed their jones like a bunch of crack junkies, lashing out at anyone who dares to hold them accountable.

This country needs an intervention. Badly.

Some people get off sexually when attacking Santorum to the point where they have keep towels handy. Look for Obama to have orgasm and sweat detectives as a part of creating new jobs by regulating bodily secretions at gyms and public pplaces. Holder will supervise the new venture.

Insurance is about risks, not fairness or righteousness. Any idiot can see that paying for contraception is cheaper than paying for pregnancy and delivery. I can't believe that needs to be explained to people.

Has anyone considered that the attack on women's reproductive rights might be a ploy to keep women out of professional careers and politics? (Barefoot and pregnant.) If you have children before you are ready, it is extremely difficult to have a professional future. Many of these women end up in poverty, and, once in poverty, it is difficult to fight for one's rights. Trying to keep a roof over your head and food on the table takes priority.

Republicans are famous for wanting children to be born, while not wanting to give assistance to families and single moms who end up with children they can not afford. Love the unborn child, hate the poverty-stricken child. Or so it would seem... Republicans are all about good choices=better life. But then they want to take away your choices. Hmm, something isn't right here, is it?

On Newsvine, I've seen the same people rant and rave about how poor people make poor choices and are lazy. They deserve to be in the state they are in and do not deserve any type of assistance, even going so far as to say, if you can't afford kids, don't have them, while in the next breath, fighting against abortion and a woman's right to make her own choices about when she has kids. Now, I am against abortion, but, since I am unable to pay for these unborn children I feel that I have NO RIGHT to try to force my views on these women! It is, however, true that women are often coerced into having an abortion. (The girl's parents, boyfriend, or husband might be forcing her to have an abortion, for example.) Why is there no focus on that scenario? Why are women demonized? Because it is more convenient to look for the quick answer and point fingers than it is to come up with a real solution. One has to wonder if republicans even want to find a solution, or just to demonize women.

Well I guess it depends how hot you are.

core exercises mean pelvic thrusts, lifting your legs and pushing ... push push, thrust thrust ... cmon its obvious Dwane santorum.

LOVE my spinning class, for many, many reasons....

actually I have had orgasms while doing crunches at the end of step class...

Tac...

Need a workout partner ? :0.

How does gym memberships & viagra solve the contraception debate?? Contraception is about preventing pregenancies and treating medical conditions related to female anatomy, not about how often a woman can orgasm or how much she can bench press.

More a case of women use the gym and men use porn, then no contraceptives needed (except for all those other medical uses of "the pill").

Just hope we can stop the far right fringe from banning gyms and porn.

Modernmommy: I like a woman who can bench press; especially if she has cat eyes when she steps out later. ;)

BUT... the gym? Guys MUST be programmed differently. The closest I've come to a sexual experience doing anything outside of 'that' realm (while not thinking of any women) was an exhilarating test drive in that white Masarati....

Sorry if I'm smiling but- .....MAN WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!!!!!

Men are different the testosterone is lowered in the gym from the jewels getting knocked around

I thought it was marriage that did that???

Sounds like quantum propulsion. Very exciting stuff.

You probably like clams anyway!

Why you sound so worried Chris..........something your not telling us? Just be that guy that wears sunglasses when he works out.

Sunglasses don't cover the part of the anatomy Chris needs covered...
for that matter, neither do sweats or shorts...

Chris, try not to think about it, but keep a towel handy (for coverage, not for...well...)

lol, o look a towel rack!

I hate it when PhDs candidates have nothing better to do than stupid studies such as this one.

It's called science, and has to do with human physiology. It advances our understanding of the body and how it works.

Don't worry about it. Go watch TV.

Don't flatter yourself. If you're grunting, chances are guys at the gym are actively avoiding you.

Klone,

Unfortunately, I get the feeling you're only reading "Your" style of science journals.

The thing about science is that it should be the open-ended exploration of knowledge. I suspect from your posts, that any information that disagrees with your sensibilities is ruled deficient, rather than interesting.

Cheers!

Unfortunately, I get the feeling you're only reading "Your" style of science journals.

Well, there's your problem, greg. There's no "style"of science, it's not a martial art that you make up as you go along. You make discoveries, and they're added to the general body of knowledge. 

But since you obviously don't understand that, stick to your "style" of science and hope nobody makes any discoveries that are uncomfortable to you. 

And what about this disagrees with my "sensitivities"? I suspect that you're just writing words that you think make you appear intelligent, but they don't.

correction: "sensibilities".

klone:

I understand where you're coming from. You know - when some 'scientists' stated that their findings were that testosterone decreased logic circuits in men's brains (and the higher the testosterone, the worse - they implied - that it was), a group of women at work went on and on about how this was the root of ALL of mankind's problems. Talk about embarassing!

Its like saying "we've done this study and these are the result for EVERYONE full stop" yet I question their methods and how, exactly, they arrive at their conclusions. This (and the 'gym experiment' from this article) are really uncharted territory for one thing. For the second, not everyone "behaves" in the same fashion, even when the tests are replicated. Not ALL women are having these experiences in the gym - just as not all men with even a slightly elevated testosterone level are wounded in logic because of it. Would they find LESS women saying that this is happened in a replicated test with different questions, for example?

"Scientific results" aren't a blanket that covers everyone for the stated 'finding' either - its like having medication work for some people, but it doesn't do what it is supposed to for others (so you have to try some other drug until the desired effects are reached).

Alex- I completely agree with you. That's why more controlled studies (quite a few more!) are required before we can draw any final conclusions and say "this causes this". I never even hinted that this was a final conclusion.

I got on Julie's case because when someone says:

...nothing better to do than stupid studies such as this one.

They're publicly proclaiming themselves incapable of talking about science in public. It's like they enjoy humiliating themselves in front of everyone. And sometimes I enjoy letting them know it.

Julie why grunt, when you can moan????? Grunting just sounds like it hurts..........does it?........But yeah, don't flatter yourself too much, curves turn guys on, not sticks, we already have one.

i know right

i mean do you know anybody that this is happened to?

me neither

it's so made up in some guys mind....it's not a real story

It is the ultimate aphrodisiac !

You're my kinda' gal, Jen!!!!

So that's the reason, there are so many 24 hour fitness centers..........Let the animal loose I say.....

@Jenny....so....where do you work out? hahahaha....just kidding!!

Same here, Jenny! I can be dripping sweat, smell like a dog, yet still feel absurdly aroused. Ha ha. Never any orgasms, I'm sorry to say; but still, I almost invariably get hot and bothered -- in more ways than one.

To begin with, it's hardly "useless" if it provides women with ways to improve their lives, and if it encourages more healthy exercising...

Secondly, not every research program is government sponsored, some are sponsored by universities, companies, and individual philanthropists. In this case, I suspect that more than a few gym companies might consider sponsoring further research... Good for business, you know.

If they really want to spend money on useful research that helps men & women both, pay to figure out how to make semen taste like chocolate............

Now there is a noble science experiment right there! If you re-elect Clinton, I am sure he would love to campaign for this bill to pass, so science can begin doing the research. Between all the sensible straight men and not so straight men, this could be the quickest bill ever passed in history!

LOL @ azrancher...

No more phys ed in public schools.

So what would you call it? Frictionbator?
