The science of the booty call - via Boing Boing:

“As much as you want to escape your biology, there it is, in your face. Humans have the illusion that they can escape their biology, but we’re just like any other animal, the difference is our leash is longer. It appears that we have all this freedom to make these choices, but we really don’t.”—University of South Alabama psychology professor Peter K. Jonason, author of the scientific treatise “Positioning the Booty-Call Relationship on the Spectrum of Relationships” [PDF], interviewed in Salon. (via Oxblood Ruffin)

The neuroscience of break-ups: it's like craving cocaine! - via Boing Boing

The neuroscience of break-ups: it's like craving cocaine! - via Boing Boing:

“This brain imaging study of individuals who were still ‘in love’ with their rejecter supplies further evidence that the passion of ‘romantic love’ is a goal-oriented motivation state rather than a specific emotion” the researchers concluded, noting that brain imaging showed some similarities between romantic rejection and cocaine craving. “The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that romantic love is a specific form of addiction.”

The study also helps to explain “why feelings and behaviors related to romantic rejection are difficult to control” and why extreme behaviors associated with romantic rejection such as stalking, homicide, suicide, and clinical depression occur in cultures all over the world, the researchers wrote.

Man Smacks: Cinematic study on Totally Hetero And Absolutely Not Gay Dude-Huggage - via Boing Boing

Filmmaker Joe Sabia has produced a cinematic study on the social phenomenon that is “Man Smacks.” The application of “Man Smacks”, in simple English, allows two men to hug each other affectionately while preserving their desire to be perceived as heterosexual.
