If A Nobel Prize Winner Says So.....

If A Nobel Prize Winner Says So..... Extra Fat Means More Happiness, Better Sex One of the world's most revered scientists has developed a theory that fat people are happier than thin ones. James Watson, the Nobel prize-winning geneticist who was jointly responsible for discovering the structure of DNA, believes that plumper women are also likely to enjoy a better sex life than their thin counterparts. Watson, who directed the successful human genome project, has moved into the controversial science of body image. He recently told an audience at University College London that his research suggested extra pounds had the biological effect of making a woman well-rounded in character and better in bed. His study of chemicals in the body has led him to conclude that extra fat has the effect of boosting endorphins - the natural mood-enhancing chemical - and a hormone linked to sexual desire. Watson's interest is purely scientific. He stumbled on what he calls his latest "obsession" while chatting to a taxi driver in New York who told him of an Arizona scientist who, trying to create a self-tanning drug, had injected himself with a hormone which gave him an 8-1/2-hour erection. The hormone was MSH, linked to sexual desire and also to sunlight. "It was one hormone which had always bored me before," said Watson. His interest excited, he began to look at MSH and discovered it was closely linked to two other chemicals in the body - endorphins, the feel-good chemical, and leptin. Leptin is made in fat tissue; the more fat, the more leptin. MSH is affected by leptin and is connected to sexual desire. "The heavier you are, the more leptin and possibly the more MSH," said Watson. "My guess is that your mood is controlled by endorphins and you make more of these when you are fat. Hence nobody has ever drawn Santa Claus thin - thin people are discontented." Since MSH can also be affected by sun, happiness could depend on either being in the sun or being fat. "The people who are the hottest sexually are fat white people who are burning in the sun," he said. (I just love this comment  ) "I now really look at fat couples in a totally different way," he said. "When you see two thin people together,you know they've got problems." So Watson recommends that curvy women match with larger-proportioned partners for the best sex life. |

I couldn't agree more. Kitchens are excellent for such discussions, particularly since there are often a number of very useful 'props' that can be used to illustrate crucial points and drive them home. 'Thought. Why does man kill? He kills for food...but not only food, frequently there must be a beverage.' - Woody Allen

Perhaps the esteemed Dr. Watson has succumbed to an urge to over simplify. No doubt a bit extra fat may enhance libido for reasons stated...certainly the 'Twiggy' look used to be an indication of malnutrition and a body laden with a impressive diversity of intestinal parasites. It enjoyed a brief period as the new benchmark for female beauty (interestingly... a complete lack of female secondary sexual characteristics). Luckily (unless one enjoys the emaciated pre-pubscent look), large breasts came back into vogue, generating the massively disproportioned 'Barbie' look. It could be that large breasts (which have a very high fat content and, thus, are clearly sites of high lepitin production), could be what generates the 'happier' feelings of sexual arousal...maybe for both sexes! I'd imagine that there is a threshold beyond which the benefits that more fat has on the degree of happiness is countered by the negative health effects of being massively obese. I could get into a lenghty discussion of natural selection, sexual selection and the evolution of sexual dimorphism, but Tres would probably prefer that such discussion be kept out of the bedroom. I always figured women loved it when a guy talked about evolution...perhaps this explains my woeful lack of success with women. Had to chuckle at Watson's declaration that MSH was '...one hormone that had always bored me before....'. Anybody have a favorite hormone? 'Thought. Why does man kill? He kills for food...but not only food, frequently there must be a beverage.' - Woody Allen

I do agree with a caveat....too much fat affects the health and sex becomes more difficult. That said, we are actually wired not to be thin. It is only in the last 40/50 years where we have become more sedentary. In days of yore, larger people were considered more successful and/or wealthy. They had more resources to acquire food and hire people to do more of their manual labor. As for me, I enjoy "zaftig" women.
