They needed scientists to figure this out?
Taken from: “The Anatomy of a Broken Heart”
A social snub and a big-toe stub can generate a similar response in the brain, suggesting emotional and physical pain are more closely related than was previously thought.
They needed to conduct a fucking study to figure this out? You’ve got a 24 year old sitting here who’s known this since… oh… I don’t know… Childhood? They could have just sent me a fucking questionnaire and they would have found out the truth to this.
I could have also told them that happiness and euphoria were just as good as sex, but they’ll probably need to conduct a separate study to figure that one out too… :rolleyes
Then again, euphoria and happiness can be caused by sex too…
I could use a dose of either right now…. Just the emotional would be preferential to the physical.
I would have to agree with John. Even being in a relationship one can be in physical pain just because of the stress, which I know first hand. Sex is Good too. And doctors think that stress can’t make you sick, bullshit.
Stress can’t make you sick? That’s complete and utter bullshit.I think everyone here can vouche for that – you can easily make yourself sick with worry or grief or being maligned consistantly. Why do people encourage you to get out of certain situations? Because it’s not healthy – the emotional grief, pain, and stress that is involved in it.
hmm. a study on euphoria and happiness being as good as sex. uhm, where do you suppose one would sign up for those trials? *cough* because, you know, a ‘friend’ wants to know.
