Tracking Down Horny Males and Females from a Distance

Those damned scientists do not miss anything.

Now, you cannot even afford to salivate in front of a pair of good boobs because they can detect from a distance when you literally get hot!

In a new study published in the Department of Psychology of McGill University, thermography promises to become a diagnostic method of measuring sexual arousal. This novel technology is less intrusive than currently employed methods, because unlike the previous ones, it does not requires physical contact with the patients.

The thermography method is in fact the only one that can be employed to diagnose sexual impairments
in both genders. The termographic measurements clearly revealed that both females and males display similar patterns of temperature shifts and periods of hitting the peak temperature during sexual arousal.

"Using thermography, we also found that women's subjective experience of sexual arousal corresponded with their physiological genital response; this challenges the common notion that women don't know their bodies," said lead researcher Tuuli Kukkonen, a Ph.D. candidate in psychology at McGill University.

"I predict that the major physiological measure of sexual arousal for most future clinical trials of female sexual arousal disorder will be genital temperature as measured by thermography," according to Dr. Yitzchak Binik, senior author of the research and Professor of Psychology at McGill and Director of the Sex and Couple Therapy Service of the McGill University Health Center. "This is a huge breakthrough in the assessment of genital blood flow research in women's sexual health," observed Irwin Goldstein, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

"Previous testing was invasive and involved placement of measuring instruments in various locations in the genital region and this interfered with the arousal itself. Thermography does not have any such requirements and is very user-friendly. This may be the first test to diagnose blood vessel blockage as a cause of sexual dysfunction in women, and may help identify those patients who may be helped by vasoactive drugs similar to those prescribed for men with erectile dysfunction from narrowed blood vessels."
