Fact O' The Day

"There is no real consensus on what "had sex" means."


When people are speaking casually, the phrase "had sex" can mean virtually anything. A Kinsey Institute study asked 486 participants a series of questions, all beginning with the prompt "Would you say you 'had sex' with someone if..." before describing some intimate behavior. Nineteen percent of respondents thought that anal sex fell outside the definition of sex, and about 28% thought oral sex didn't qualify. Eleven percent of respondents thought that typical intercourse didn't count as sex if there was no ejaculation. Five percent of people didn't identify typical intercourse as sex at all.

"Distaste for broccoli is genetic."

Many vegetables, but particularly cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, contain compounds called glucosinolates that can protect against carcinogens at low doses while being toxic at extremely high doses. Some people can taste these compounds, finding them incredibly bitter, while others can't taste them at all. Research published in Current Biology indicates that the gene hTAS2R38 is responsible for people's perception of glucosinolates. Study participants with two "sensitive" versions of the gene rated broccoli and its related vegetables 60% more bitter than those with an "insensitive" version of the gene.

"Driving a Porsche communicates that you're interested in uncommitted sex."

Men's conspicuous spending suggests that flashiness indicates an interest only in flings, not relationships, according to a study by Rice University, UT San Antonio and the University of Minnesota. The flashiness does in fact make a man more sexually desirable to women than owning a functional and inexpensive item does: Women who participated in the study found a Porsche-driving man more attractive as a date, but not as a candidate for a serious relationship.
