Giving Up or: How I Learned to Stop Exercising and Love my Body

From this NYMag post about this NYT study What Women Want (Maybe) (anybody get my post title reference?)

“For heterosexual women, looking at a naked man walking on the beach is about as exciting as looking at landscapes,” she says in today’s New York Times. The article continues:

Heterosexual women, Dr. Chivers and her colleagues found, were no more excited by athletic naked men doing yoga or tossing stones into the ocean than they were by the control footage: long pans of the snowcapped Himalayas.

Which explains why you rarely hear about women climbing on top of Everest. What was surprising, however, was that women were aroused by almost everything else, particularly naked women.

When straight women viewed a video of a naked woman doing calisthenics, on the other hand, their blood flow increased significantly.

They were also turned on by videos of masturbation, graphic videos of couples making love, and footage of bonobo chimps mating.
