[I suppose this could be useful for lesbians and bisexuals as well...]
A friend of mine sent me a scanned image of the following newspaper
clipping. Unfortunately there's no reference on the scan, so I don't
know where it's from. But I think it's worth a laugh --- or at least
it's a justification for the habits of dirty old men. :-)
AN EYEFUL A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY
------------------------------------- by Jonathan Hayter
Staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and makes them
live longer, a new survey reveals. Researchers have discovered
that a 10-minute ogle at women's breasts is as healthy as a
30-minute workout in the gym. A five-year study of 200 men found
that those who enjoyed a longing look at busty beauties had lower
blood pressure, less heart disease and slower pulse rates compared
to those who did not get their daily eyeful.
Dr. Karen Weatherby, who carried out the German study, wrote in the
New England Journal of Medicine: "Just 10 minutes of staring at the
charms of a well-endowed female is roughly equivalent to a
30-minute aerobics workout. Sexual excitement gets the heart
pumping and improves blood cicrulation. Our study indicates that
engaging in this activity for a few minutes daily cuts the risk of
stroke an heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so
consistently, the average man can extend his life for four to five
years."
She added that sexy stars like Dolly Parton, Heather Locklear, Anna
Nicole Smith, and Demi Moore had proved to be especially good for
men's health.
Of course, they don't mention what *else* the guys are doing while
they're staring. I would suspect that they might need their hands
free for, um, manual labour, shall we say.
