- GiJoeBob, on 02/02/2008, -1/+15So I would get a really big buzz if I had aggressive sex while on drugs and eating? I think Costanza was onto something!
- inactive, on 02/02/2008, -3/+13Screw the fighting . . . give me hot, explosive sex with my beautiful lover all day everyday where the only aggression is ripping each others clothes off and getting jiggy with it!
- inactive, on 02/02/2008, -1/+11***** all of you ***** heads. I'll bite off your ears and beat up your children then set fire to your wives.
- retr0grade, on 02/02/2008, -0/+10I wonder if this can be generalized from "aggression" to "anything that produces a voluntary adrenaline rush." I can see the analogy between the feeling you get when you throw the first punch and the feeling you get dropping in over a cornice. Or maybe if you're a compulsive gambler, the feeling you get putting chips down. There is that instant when you acknowledge the risk and then voluntarily ignore the danger and take action anyhow...
the question is, why is this sensation evolutionarily favorable? Do people who take more risks have more sex? Is the sex ITSELF a risk? - brentinkc, on 02/02/2008, -1/+9My Beautiful Lover vagina simulaid now available at theadulttoyshoppe.com
- Darkhacker, on 02/02/2008, -0/+7The question marks in the black diamond you mean? That means that your browser doesn't understand what character it is supposed to use. I know that sometimes happens with non-standard quotation marks and apostrophes. The encoding on the article is windows-1252. Why don't they just use UTF-8 like everyone else?

Angry mouse says leave my house,
but please come back some more. - Sinai, on 02/02/2008, -0/+5And for that matter, I'd like to see the results of an intruder female mouse on the home male, and the resulting response of the home female after she comes back from where ever she went. And vice versa, if you really want to cover your bases.
I bet we could make some really great broad sweeping generalizations towards human behavior from that. ...this is why it's hard to respect social scientists, a layman can draw up a follow-up 5 year ongoing research plan for them in about five minutes. - Sinai, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4Also, I would like to see the corollary study with a female mouse instead of a male mouse, for comparison.
- rune420, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4It has to be an old man? That's messed up.
- bat-21, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4Life must suck when you're a copycat. ^
- mrgreenjeans, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3By your statement, I can see you have something against question marks ;)
- tgc1, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3Who in your highschool was most likely to get laid? The Jocks, or the Nerds? I rest my case.
- 808kick, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3I think I'm more aggressive, ***** wad
- mal1964, on 02/02/2008, -1/+4Wow, I'm touched. I'll have to remember that when I'm kicking your butt.
- inactive, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3I always thought it was just your ability to get ***** done.
- Sinai, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3The rather obvious conclusion is not anything that produces an adrenaline rush, but that produces a dopamine rush.
I'm quite sure that if you watch the Discovery channel for a few hours you will conclude for yourself that aggression is rewarding in terms of food, territory and sex. - LivelyIvy, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3This study was done on mice, and only male mice for that matter. Applying that to human aggression is a bit of a leap.
- hulez, on 02/02/2008, -1/+4one might be ashamed to admit it but the concept of fighting and hurting people gets me sexually excited.
only in fantasy of course, i would feel horrible if i walked up to some old man in real life and smashed him in the face.
Thats why i stick to team fortress to satisfy this desire =) - TomFrost, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3It *does* make sense evolutionary, I think. Back to basics, Woman wants Man who can protect her and her children. Aggressive fighters are more likely to do battle when threatened, making them more attractive for their purposes.
- enclaved, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3That's pretty funny with your last name being Manley and all
- ZephyrNinety, on 02/02/2008, -0/+3I love stabbing women. Is that so bad? With my penis?
- captaindigger, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2Or maybe that feeling you get when your WOW player lvl's up.
- unknownsoldierX, on 02/03/2008, -0/+2Anyone know how to fix this in Firefox? Besides manually changing the character encoding setting?

- MadMalc, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2Could this be used as the basis for a defense in a court case when you're accused of hitting a traffic warden??
- timbo458, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2I always try to combine my aggression with sex! With a willing partner of course.
- inactive, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2The people who conducted that study obviously have never dealt with Verizon customer service.
- Gogogo111, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2Spongebob?
- keegangrayson, on 02/02/2008, -1/+3The theater kids. Most athletes were all talk and there weren't any "nerds".
- KLowD9x, on 02/03/2008, -0/+2I was thinking something more along the lines of what people are used to.
Pills. - ApeInago, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2IN OTHER NEWS: humankind has the abbility to circumvent their agression for the good of their community. Also perhaps explaining the advent of the strong use of sports and other agressive forms of entertainment.
- bat-21, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2Life must suck when you're a pussy.
- jololli, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2"The home mouse was then trained to poke a target with its nose to get the intruder to return, at which point it again behaved aggressively toward it. The home mouse consistently poked the trigger, which was presented once a day, indicating it experienced the aggressive encounter with the intruder as a reward. "
How did they train the mouse to poke the other one with its nose? Probably with some sort of reward. The study is already compromised since the "aggressive" reward might simply be the mouse's recall of the experimenter's reward for poking activity. Study sounds flawed. - tinko, on 02/03/2008, -0/+1Wow. Did you really just comment that?
LMFAO!! - bruce86, on 02/03/2008, -0/+1I really hate when people say this, but it applies more here than a misrepresented study.
CORRELATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION! - TheAkolyte, on 02/02/2008, -2/+3Maybe it's a leadership thing. Im stronger, and I love to take risks, thus I should lead the pack.
- bruce86, on 02/03/2008, -0/+1Really? You knew that supressing dopamine receptors caused a reduction in learned aggression? That Agression has the same learning pathways as drugs, sex and food? Really? Well ***** these researchers lets get cw1925 to write a book about everything we know.
- 17to85, on 02/02/2008, -0/+1why is it favourable? probably because if you're more docile you're more likely to be killed by something else. If you're the aggressive one keeping the competitors down you're more likely to survive.
- rumplestiltz, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1I know I feel better if I scream ***** when Im mad

Just in time for the Super Bowl ! - CuddyBuddy, on 02/02/2008, -1/+2I'm not really surprised at this...we humans have not yet completely gotten out of our prehensile, reptilian nature, where aggression is sort of required for survival & propagation - much as sex & food are required for the same things!
- jmskyrocket, on 02/02/2008, -0/+1What it's saying is that the mouse would learn by association that poking a trigger did not induce a reward, it caused the intruder to appear. So you would say that the mouse finds the violent encounter as something so positive that they would repeat it daily.
- tony23, on 02/02/2008, -0/+1Easy enough to do - just rip everyone's brain out.
- jololli, on 02/02/2008, -0/+1No, I'm saying that the mouse pushing the trigger has nothing to do with intruder mice whatsoever. And considering this is what their basing their findings on, I believe the study may be flawed. Of course I can't know for sure either way unless I were to track down the journal the study was published in, but it's suspicious.
