A GOOD news article about video games?
It seems that playing video games improves hand-eye coordination, and gives “a very intuitive feel for manipulating devices.”
The only game they mention is Super Monkey Ball (which has fairly simple controls to be teaching hand-eye coordination, I would think, but whatever. It’s a good game, and at least it wasn’t a PS game that they gave mention to.)

Men who want sex want sex sooner than women who want intimacy.
Are you shocked? I sure was.
“A survey of teens found that males interested in physical intimacy push to have sex earlier, and females more interested in the emotional side want to postpone things. ”
Note that that doesn’t say that all men are only interested in physical intimacy, but that the ones who ARE are more likely to want sex earlier? Earlier than whom? Well, I see two options, from the way that sentence is worded. 1.) They want sex earlier than men who aren’t so interested in sex. 2.) They want sex earlier than women who are more interested in the emotional side of the relationship than the sexual.
Neither of those things are shockers.
They do mention, later in the article, that some women were more interested in sex than others, and that some wanted to have sex sooner than others, but they never make any comparisons that seem to be anything more than what little Johnny in the 8th grade couldn’t tell you.
I wish I could go back to 8th grade, write this study for them, and get a nice big grant from the government
