Premature ejaculators and Halo gamers have a common gene

Researchers at Utrecht University found that men who prematurely ejaculate during intercourse share a gene that controls their serotonin levels, the hormone that controls how fast a dude will spew.

Unfortunately, the researchers also note that “these men have very quick reflexes. They may be excellent at playing tennis or computer games, for example.”

Perhaps your boyfriend might be best left at the computer playing World of Warcraft all day. He’s certainly not going to be good for much else.

  2. This is utter bullshit. Please read the article again. Notice how the only mention of video games is in a throwaway line by someone not even related the to the study. It’s snarky shit like this that makes people look down upon video games.

    you might want to actually read what you’re posting about. This is sloppy, sloppy journalism.
