SEX-STUDY 'STIMULUS'

[thundley4]

WASHINGTON - The stimulus package is living up to its provocative name by funding a bacchanalia of behavioral sex research, a Post analysis reveals.

The next fiscal year is set to be one of the friskiest ever in the nation's science labs, as researchers probe the ins and outs of sex patterns among humans and even some of our four-legged friends.

Among the most titillating grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health are studies that would:

* Examine "barriers to correct condom use" at Indiana University, at a cost of $221,000.

* Study "hookups" among adolescents at Syracuse University. Study's cost: $219,000.

* Evaluate "drug use as a sex enhancer" in an analysis of "high-risk community sex networks" at the University of Illinois, Chicago. That study will cost $123,000.

* Study how methamphetamine, thought to produce an "insatiable need" for sex among users, "enhances the motivation for female rat sexual behavior." Some $28,000 has been awarded for the University of Maryland at Baltimore study.

I think the bold study should be done in San Francisco if it's done at all.  It sounds like they are euphemistically referring to either 1) the black community, or 2) the gay community.

No matter that they are all a waste of money.

A good looking naked woman would stimulate my package...for a lot less.

Man, where's that goofy bastard who used to do all the infomercials on how to get "free government money"?  Turns out he was right after all....if you don't need it or are just a scum-sucking leech...
