#1 Something tells me that few, if any, women were consulted during this study.

Q: What do you call the sort of indecent brutish animal that wants sex on a first date?

A: A man.

At least now there an excuse. "Come on, Honey. It's more likely to get us hitched."

#3 That line that sex on the first date leads to long-term commitment never worked for me. I think women are on to this ruse.

& trade;

EXCEPT, delete the space between "&" and "trade" ™

Most people remember the "&" but forget the semi-colon.

#6 Oh, and as for Dr. Gibbs' theory:

BULLSHIT.

#7 It's not bullshit; it's complete bullshit.

#8 Don't be so quick to dismiss the good Doctor's theory. By compressing so much of the courtship ritual into a brief timespan, it is much more likely to trigger an intensified avalanching cascade effect in the brain's neurochemistry that could implant significant long-term emotional bonding.

What he neglects to note is how men are overwhelmingly predisposed towards assigning all decision-making to something other than their brain.

#9 I can just imagine the grant request so he can research this pressing question.

#10 I have never understood the 'sleeping with someone' used in connection with sexual activity: seems to me sleeping is the last thing you would be engaged in. or perhaps you have already met my first wife.

#12 Sex on the 2nd date works too

#13 It also depends on what your definition of "long-term" is. 18 months may be long-term for a "relationship" but is woefully short for a marriage.

#14 I suppose this augurs well for the long-term relationship between Obama and Dean.

#15 Now, now, let's not be too quick to judge here. I believe an extensive long-term study with multiple female partners is called for here. I know, I know, the study will be intensive and the research grueling, but I'm willing to take on the project single-handedly.

Now, where'd that grant proposal I wrote up go.

#16 When the first date is a week in Europe, sex is automatic. Why do you think that thing looks like a fat wallet on edge?

#18 Hey, babe, how about a **** and a pizza?

#20 What the hell is sex? Or a date? I thought a date had something to do with the calender.

#21 I find that sex is better when you have a date. Otherwise, ......it's still good
