| First-date sex increases chances for long-term relationships | ||
| 2007-04-27 | ||
SLEEPING with someone on a first date can INCREASE chances of a long-term relationship, a biologist claims. Dr Barry Gibb rejects the belief it is best to wait before having sex.

| #21 I find that sex is better when you have a date. Otherwise, ......it's still good |

| #20 What the hell is sex? Or a date? I thought a date had something to do with the calender. |

| #16 When the first date is a week in Europe, sex is automatic. Why do you think that thing looks like a fat wallet on edge? |

| #15 Now, now, let's not be too quick to judge here. I believe an extensive long-term study with multiple female partners is called for here. I know, I know, the study will be intensive and the research grueling, but I'm willing to take on the project single-handedly. Now, where'd that grant proposal I wrote up go. |

| #14 I suppose this augurs well for the long-term relationship between Obama and Dean. |

| #13 It also depends on what your definition of "long-term" is. 18 months may be long-term for a "relationship" but is woefully short for a marriage. |

| #10 I have never understood the 'sleeping with someone' used in connection with sexual activity: seems to me sleeping is the last thing you would be engaged in. or perhaps you have already met my first wife. |

| #9 I can just imagine the grant request so he can research this pressing question. |

| #8 Don't be so quick to dismiss the good Doctor's theory. By compressing so much of the courtship ritual into a brief timespan, it is much more likely to trigger an intensified avalanching cascade effect in the brain's neurochemistry that could implant significant long-term emotional bonding. What he neglects to note is how men are overwhelmingly predisposed towards assigning all decision-making to something other than their brain. |

| #7 It's not bullshit; it's complete bullshit. |

| #6 Oh, and as for Dr. Gibbs' theory: BULLSHIT. |

| #5 #4 Sherry: "(can't figure out how to do the small TM)" & trade; EXCEPT, delete the space between "&" and "trade" ™ Most people remember the "&" but forget the semi-colon. |

| #4 Well, there is a female side to some truth in this! Heh (can't figure out how to do the small TM) |

| #3 That line that sex on the first date leads to long-term commitment never worked for me. I think women are on to this ruse. |

| #2 Barry Gibb? Isn't he one of the BeeGees? |

| #1 Something tells me that few, if any, women were consulted during this study. Q: What do you call the sort of indecent brutish animal that wants sex on a first date? A: A man. At least now there an excuse. "Come on, Honey. It's more likely to get us hitched." |
