I am reminded of the study that said that the pain and pleasure centers of the brain are located in the same area. The scientists made the conjecture that perhaps the new discovery was the reason people enjoyed SM. Duh!
Well in that same vein comes the startling news that "gaydar" is real. A Tufts University study showed people a series of photos and within less than a second they could judge whether they were straight or gay. The group of students scored 55% to 70% accuracy. The photos were evenly divided between straight and gay so chance would have been about 50%.
The students were both men and women, but there is no word on whether ny of the people making the judgements were gay themselves. That study would take consideribly longer for the decisiion making process allowing for the 10 minutes of "dishing" for each picture! (note to my straight readers, "dishing" is a gay thing, you wouldn't understand.)
