Pbbbbt of the Month - April 2013
Posted: 2013-04-14 by MG

This month we feature the up and coming young actress Jennifer Lawrence, who recently scored an oscar for best actress in ’Silver Linings Playbook’, along with many previous accolades for her portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in ’The Hunger Games’.

I had initially dismissed the Hunger Games as another teen melodrama, expecting it to be along the lines of the truely awful ’Twilight’ series, but after the hype died down I actually watched it and found it quite good. I was catching up on a bunch of this years oscar films last weekend and decided to watch Silver Linings Playbook and both Jennifer and co-star Bradley Cooper turned in pretty kick-ass performances. More importantly, I noticed Jennifer had a pretty decent rack on her! How did I miss this before?

Science: Women Prefer Larger Penises
Posted: 2013-04-10 by MG

By Alexander Abad-Santos | The Atlantic Wire – Mon, Apr 8, 2013

"I like small penises," said no women interviewed for an actually scientific study released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS. Yes, PNAS is a funny sounding acronym, and, yes, PNAS has found that size does matter — and that women prefer "showers" to "growers."

"As past studies have shown, women prefer tall men with broad shoulders and narrow hips, like an Olympic swimmer. But when Dr. Brian Mautz controlled for those variables, it turned out that penis size (overall length and girth) was about as important as stature," reports the team over at NBC News.

Mautz and his team at the University of Ottawa showed pictures of "life-sized male figures" to 105 Australian women, who seemed to prefer spending more time gazing at the diagrams with larger flaccid male members — and rated them higher, too:

“As you increase penis size, the amount of attractiveness scores gets bigger” in a linear fashion, he explained, until 7.6 centimeters, or 3 inches. After three inches, attractiveness still increased, but in smaller increments. Not only were the ratings higher, but the women also spent more time gazing at the generously endowed figures, a sign they preferred looking at them as opposed to figures with smaller penises.

So basically a three-inch unexcited penis is the point of diminishing returns, according to the best currently available scientific research. NBC News and Mautz don’t say if there was any variance on growers — men who claim to be, um, more "manly" than they first appear when in at an excited state. But here’s the baseline finding from the study’s abstract:

Penis size had a stronger effect on attractiveness in taller men than in shorter men. There was a similar increase in the positive effect of penis size on attractiveness with a more masculine body shape (i.e., greater shoulder to-hip ratio). Surprisingly, larger penis size and greater height had almost equivalent positive effects on male attractiveness.

PNAS, to be clear, isn’t The Onion or Cosmopolitan (not that there’s anything wrong with either). It’s actually a scientific journal that’s been around since 1914, and according to Science Watch, they were the second-most cited journal between the years of 1999-2009. Yes, 105 women isn’t the world’s, uh, biggest sample size, but PNAS is far from one of the junk-science journals detailed on the front page of Monday’s New York Times.

Before you start crying foul about the penis study, just remember that there’s plenty of evidence out there that men also prefer to have bigger penises. How else would you explain the penis-growing industry: penis size pills, enlargement surgeries, penis enlargement patches?

As the month of February concluded in Vatican City, Pope Benedict XVI stepped down as the 265th Pope of the Catholic Church. Given the recent scandals and controversy surrounding the coverups of sexual abuse among the clergy, the Catholic Church has decided to break with tradition and attempt to come up with a way to appeal to a ’hipper, younger audience’. Instead of a conclave of cardinals, they’ve teamed up with hollywood in an attempt to try and remain relevant in a new era. Casting to begin in cities across the globe in the coming months!
