Have to love the federal gov't!!





A federally funded study has paid women as much as $75 to watch pornographic videos to determine "what types of audiovisual erotica women find sexually arousing."

I wish I could get a job like that!!

What is a "sexual arousal assessment"?

You will be asked to watch a series of commercially available film clips, some of which will be sexually explicit, while we monitor your body's sexual arousal. In between the film clips, you will complete a short questionnaire.

Measuring sexual arousal is done with an probe called a vaginal photoplethysmograph or Geer gauge. To see a photo of the probe, click here. The probe is about the size of a tampon and is made of acrylic plastic. You would insert this probe into your vagina and it would remain there while you watch the film clips. All this is done in a private testing room where you communicate with the experimenter via intercom. To see a picture of the testing room, click here or here.

LOL, a guy I used to date just sent this to me - his comment was that they wouldn't have had to pay if they had used guys. I told him the guys would have been willing to pay enough to fund the entire project :)

I would have loved to been in the meeting where they pitched the project idea. Better yet the design meeting when they decided what the tampon-like thingie should look like.

Peaches you are correct....

Maybe Voodoo can get into a progrma like that, or start his own.

HAHAHA

I saw a show the other night about masturbation. There was a 'study group' of women who were there to 'learn how to masturbate' without guilt and all the other faux pas associated with women who masturbate.

I almost shit when I saw them (6 or 7 of them) masturbating..all in the same room, all together.

They also had test subjects who inserted a camera into their vagina and then masturbated. This of course, was for 'study purposes'.

It's amazing what the government will spend their money on....

I did my own study and wrote a little ditty about it


Last Night I stayed at home and masturbated
It felt so good
I knew it would
Last Night I stayed at home and masturbated
It felt so nice
I did it twice
Bend it, beat it
Throw it on the floor
Pick it up, brush it off up
and then come back for more
