Sometimes, when gearing up to write the blog in the morning, I think to myself that I’m surely running out of topics on which to write. I mean, certainly there has to be a limit on sex and dating stories and advice columns, right? How many times can you try and explain how to fix up your dating profile before you’re just beating a dead horse? But then this study came across my desk, courtesy of The Huffington Post, that reminded me that there is literally no end to the amount of sex topics in the universe.

According to the study, performed by Charmaine Borg, a researcher in the department of clinical psychology and experimental psychopathology at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands, women who are aroused are more likely to perform actions that they’d normally find disgusting. Here’s how they figured out that (highly intriguing) news:

Borg and her colleagues separated 90 female university students into three equal groups: one watched “female friendly erotica;” one watched a video of extreme sports meant to get them excited, but in a non-sexual way; and one watched a video of a train, meant to elicit a neutral response.

The women were then given 16 tasks, most of them unappealing. They were asked to take a sip from a cup of juice that had a large (fake) insect in it, to wipe their hands with a used tissue and to take a bite from a cookie that was sitting next to a living worm. The women were also asked to perform several sex-related tasks, like lubricating a vibrator.

Women in the “aroused group” said they found both the unpleasant tasks and the sex-related tasks less disgusting than women in the other groups. They also completed the highest percentage of the activities, suggesting that sexual arousal not only decreases feelings of disgust, but directly affects what women are willing to do, the study shows.

HEAR THAT, GUYS? No, I don’t think you did. Go back and read it again. And copy that last paragraph on the blackboard 100 times: “sexual arousal not only decreases feelings of disgust, but directly affects what women are willing to do.” So what they’re saying is, you’re far more likely to get a positive response to some kinky activity you have planned if your lady is already primed and ready to go. Don’t hop into bed and say, “I HAVE THIS FANTASY WHERE YOU LAY ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR AND I WEAR A BEE KEEPERS UNIFORM AND WE ONLY SPEAK IN PIG LATIN,” before her jeans are even off. Instead, spend some time on foreplay, make her feel good, and then suggest your weird roleplaying idea.

Or you know what, maybe skip that beekeeper thing, she probably won’t ever be into that.
