Lust trumps love when it comes to having sex

Next time please include in the option "Because I wanted to see Kait's shoes up side down".

Also, the only participants were collage students taking psychology classes. For me, that kind of renders the whole study kind of uninteresting. The only thing you can say about this study is that people in a certain age group, from a certain social strata (people who can afford/have the interest of going to collage) and a certain interest (psychology) gave these answers, and there is no way you can apply the results to people in general. This would only be interesting if they would also do a general survey and compare the two. Perhaps it's in the works.

I am so happy it's not just me that gets all geeky about statistics.

How's this for making you feel old. I used to attend the classes of Dr. Buss at UT. The Dr. Buss in the article is not the Dr. Buss I knew but his son.

This is actually the beginning of a much larger research project with a much broader sampling. The press just loves this sort of thing. Not that there is anything wrong with sex.

Yeah, I can hardly see any statistics without questioning it and/or totally slamming it. It's amazing to see how many serious surveys end up being useless IMHO for asking a question the wrong way.

Yeah, I saw that but then I also read this quote from the researcher in charge: “'Originally, I thought that we exhaustively compiled the list, but now I found that there should be some added,' Meston said". So, if they do add some more reasons to the list in their next survey, comparison will be impossible. You have to do your research before you can do your research.

OK, I'm done geeking about statitics . Maybe.

I was talking about that with a co-worker today. Her husband did his graduate work at the University of Göteborg - isn't that one place where you worked on surveys?

Yes, that's it. I was working for an institute that was a collaboration between three departments: Political Science, Journalism and Communications, and Public Administration. The professors in charge are the national authorities in their respective fields and when it comes to political surveys: Lennart Weibull, Sören Holmberg and Lennart Nilsson. I worked with them for four years; it was a great school. What was your co-worker's field? And how did he like Göteborg?

It was her husband, but they had not met at the time. He teaches neuro-science and does research in that area. I'll ask more questions and get back to you. She said he like it very much, and spent somewhere around 5 o 6 years in Sweden.

Yes, that's it. I was working for the SOM-institute, a collaboration between three departments: Political Science, Journalism and Communications, and Public Administration. The professors in charge are the national authorities in their respective fields and when it comes to political surveys: Lennart Weibull, Sören Holmberg and Lennart Nilsson. I was the project manager for the yearly surveys and assistant editor (and author of the chapter on methodology) for the enthology of essays produced by the researchers participating in the omnibus. I worked there for five years; it was a great school. What was your co-worker's field? And how did he like Göteborg?
