Beauty May Impact Male Brain Like Food, Drugs
Study: Feminine Beauty Affects Basic Brain Functions
Posted: 10:02 a.m. EST November 9, 2001

BOSTON -- A new study indicates beauty is much more than skin deep.

SURVEY
Which Is Most Euphoric?

Researchers said that a man's reaction to seeing beautiful women is
similar to a hungry man's when he eats -- or a drug addict's
reaction when he gets a fix.
They said it's proof that feminine beauty affects the brain way past
the parts that compose poetry -- and gets right to its basic
functions.
The study was done by researchers at Harvard Medical School and
Massachusetts General Hospital. It's published in the journal
Neuron.
The researchers measured the brain responses of a group of
heterosexual males to pictures of men and women of varying
attractiveness.
The pictures of beautiful women activated the same so-called "reward
circuits" in the brain as food, pleasant tastes -- and cocaine.
The idea that men like looking at beautiful women is hardly shocking
-- but researchers said evidence that beauty stimulates primal brain
circuits has never been shown before.

Well, it certainly would explain some porn addictions we see popping up from time to time around here.

By the way, since I'm in the mood to discuss the impact of feminine charms on the male members of this Board, I'd like to remind y'all of something that was once said by esteemed philosopher and gad-about-town P. J. O'Rourke, in the pages of National Lampoon.

When picking out the future Mrs. Right in the garden of love, remember these three ageless rules regarding the feminine physique:

[size=3]Everything will get (1)larger, (2) harrier, and (3) closer to the ground![/size=3]

So, for maximum impact, Playboy should be photographing each of its models with a plate of enchiladas in one hand, and a crack pipe in the other?
