Jeff Gordon is a lucky, lucky man.
CHICAGO, Illinois — It may seem obvious that men perceive women in sexy bathing suits as objects, but now there’s science to back it up.
New research shows that, in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis.
Hey, I usually want to handle bikini babes and perform actions with them. heh.
The research was presented this week by Susan Fiske, professor of psychology at Princeton University, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
“This is just the first study which was focused on the idea that men of a certain age view sex as a highly desirable goal, and if you present them with a provocative woman, then that will tend to prime goal-related responses,” she told CNN. (H/T – CNN)
Yeah, for most men, that “certain age” is about twelve years old. Or was that just me?

Why did they need a study for this? What woman does not know this?
I’m sorry, was there a post attached to the pictures?
Great pictures. Oops I mean post
Many a man “handles his tool” while looking at women in bikinis. This took tax payer money to figure out?
Idjitz.
No shit, Sherlock! That “goal” would be “knock da’ bottom outta dat hot stuff”.
Where’s my gubmint grant?
Admiral – Maybe women who never wore a bikini?
Doghouse – It’s around here somewhere . . .
Rick – It’s okay. I like the pictures, too.
B.C. – Well crafted. Both times!
Bikini brain? I get bikini brain almost all the time when I visit this blog! Keep posting the bikini babes, Wyatt, especially if you find pics of Catherine Bell or Eva LaRue in a two-piece (or less)!
