When it comes to raising the temperature, there's no gender gap, Canadian study finds
Women get hot and bothered just as quickly as men, according to a new Canadian study that dispels conventional wisdom about gender and arousal. Psychologists at McGill University used thermal imaging technology to measure men and women's sexual arousal levels when exposed to pornography.

By monitoring genital body heat, they found that both men and women become sexually aroused within 30 seconds. "The cliche is that men and woman are fundamentally different -- that men are turned on quickly and that women take time," said Tuuli Kukkonen, a doctoral student at McGill who led the study. "Ms. Kukkonen's team found that men reached their maximum arousal in 664.6 seconds (about 10 minutes), while women took 743 seconds -- a statistically insignificant difference.
Only at McGill University would you see a study done on genital body heat when exposed to pornography, haha.

I wonder if they had to pay the test subjects or if the test subjects paid to be a part of the study. :eek:

A chick friend of mine just said: "So how do we know it was the porn doing it. Stick a thermometer in my genitals and I'd probably be aroused!" :D

Might only take 30 seconds to get "hot and bothered" but will take longer for a woman to reach climax.

Not necessarily so. You must have cold hands.

You didnt need to read about a study... most women could have told you that.

BTW, it is correct.

that is not necessarily true at all. sometimes yes, other times no.

I agree.

http://lds.org/conference/sessions/display/0,5239,23-1-646,00.html
LDS General Conference this past weekend stated that being offended by something was optional.

After hearing a sir from the Sunday Afternoon Session speak about it, things started to make sense where people would say that words and actions can hurt some more than others - where actions and/or reactions that take place afterwards are choice of the mind.

At any rate, I still think women are more subconcious at controlling impulsive motives more responsibly than most 'typical' men. Any psychology study background helps when tagged with good morals if you intend to master your internal relations with how well you potray yourself versus the time it takes to actually "lose control."

In homes and work places, even in public settings where you are doing your shopping, on occasion you will find someone giving another person grief. At times, just plain rude, but it is a way for indivituals to push their own emotions on someone else, not to mention how contageous it is for the defenseless minds.

All in all, you can say women get just as aggitated as men, if you just think about the subcategory for the term, human being. But I conclude that men and women do have different reactions to certain types of things in the occurence of specifically changing environments, involving people, places and things with factors of changing definition. And I'd like to add, that it's dependable upon knowledge and experience that someone recognizes you for possitive traits involved in this topic:

"to be bothered or not to be bothered." -what is the action, nonetheless?

Well I should say not all women are this way, but a good number of the ones I've been with can only climax with external stimulation if you know what I mean and in those situations it takes much longer than the ones that can reach climax the traditional route.

Not trying to be graphic here, so sorry if that was :eek:

The challenge is to get them to turn off their brains and so that they stop thinking about work, the groceries they need to buy, the speck of dust they can see on the night stand, and whether or not they remembered to Tivo Gray's Anatomy that night.

If you can't get them focused it's a lost cause.

And it may well partly depend on one's skill/technique...

Even if that is true, who cares? I'm not on a tight schedule.

Medically speaking, rectal temperatures are the most accurate.

Isn't McGill supposed to be the Harvard of Canada?
