Well, that's just fucking GREAT... As if it's not bad enough that I can't get laid or have a nice girlfriend or "girl" friend-with-benefits, now I can't even watch porn without getting stupid.

Lovely.   :death:

Wasn't there an episode of Seinfeld about this? You know, the one where George became a genius after he stopped thinking about sex? Guess it's true. Who knew?

But what about women ;_;

(Also that's some highly sensationalised presentation when all we know are 'watching porn may be linked to reduced activity in certain areas of the brain ',  'provides the first evidence which could lead to establishing a link ' , and 'it did not determine whether watching porn leads to the decreased volume and activity, or if people born with certain brain characteristics watch more porn.' Basically we hardly know anything yet )

But how are they going to compare these results with guys who don't watch porn when ALL guys watch porn? They should have done this study with things like Fox News channel or reality TV instead, that way you don't have to assume the guy is lying when he says he doesn't watch it.

This, exactly. It's all about the ratings and the people at Time knew they would rustle some jimmies with this.
