Good thing I suck at Halo

Cmon, theyre fuken dutch... Nuff said.
Besides, men don't suffer from premature ejaculation. The women suffer, guys think its great. Get to have our fun during commercial time and not miss a minute of House.

I think I'm average at both which is fine by me.

XD, note that I dont fully believe that this proves it. However, would it be that much of a stretch to connect fast reflexes to "shootin early"?

Lol...Just read the study...

Just to remind everyone that correlation does not imply causality.

What the study proves is that people who do suffer from premature ejaculation usually do so because they have high levels of serotonin, which also causes quick reflexes. It also causes you to be happy, and not depressed, amongst other things.

Study does not, however, prove what most people are extrapolating: That quick reflexes = premature ejaculation.

In other words, it's entirely possible for people to be good in bed, and in FPS, and it's entirely possible for you to just suck at both. So if you suck at FPSs, it doesn't mean you will be good in bed...at all... It just means you suck at FPSs.

I can't wait to see the leader boards for all the HALO / CoD players when this gets out. All the kids desperate to prove how shit they are...

It makes sense,though. The reflex action is bound to make you chuck you muck.

This poll fails to take into account the value of foreplay including fingerplay in the bedroom.

Gamers are all about details. Maybe you non nerds just hop on and finish but we know how to please a woman. And they're good with their figners.

The other problem is that I can't possibly have good reflexes because of high levels of serotonin...cause I have clinical depression!

The mystery deepens!

I guess being an exception to the rule is cool right?

I used to be terrible at FPS but now I've heavily improved, I doubt this is reliable since I wouldn't suddenly have P.E. from improving my game with practise.

Locobato:
The study is just showing that there is a correlation between those that suffer from P.E. and the presence of the specific gene that affects a persons reflexes. Correlation is not proof. There for it is possible to have the reflexes of a mongoose and still be able to hold your load for the full ride. But still a funny topic for people to wast time making studies about. What ever happened to trying to cure aids, looks like every scientist just wants to make the next Viagra.

If someone gets AIDS, who really cares when you've spawned 20 children due to your incessant fucking?

Stalington:
Bwahahaha! I'm so glad I suck at first person shooters now that I've seen this:

http://gizmodo.com/5060687/scientists-find-gene-that-makes-you-good-at-halo-also-makes-you-a-premature-ejaculator

The comments made me fall out of my chair with laughter.

Given they're talking about PE being due to serotonin release, which happens when you're in love (and more often to women), I think there's possibly not the 'rigid' link they're implying.

Hey, if it deters even a small proportion of the dickheads on Xbox Live because they fear their sex life will be in tatters then surely it can only a good thing.

(Actually, come to think of it, maybe thats why the study was done in the first place:/)

I would rather be good at video games than good in bed-- because hey, I don't need a woman to have an orgasm.

Seriously though, this article is worthless. The study found a correlation between Dutch males with irregular serotonin and premature ejaculation problems, so when the scientists were quoted as saying that those affected:

Some Douchebag, PhD:
may be excellent at playing tennis or computer games, for example.

People jump to the obvious conculsion that anyone who can point a mouse or tap a button must be horrible sex partners. That's good science.

So, to all of you people who claim to "suck at FPSs", don't get to excited:

Being bad at video games =/= being good at sex.

Hmmm, im crap at fps and i also ejaculate prematurly. Neither of these things bother me too much tho as fps are generally shite and i have found sleeping with ugly girls cures my pre-mature ejacualtion issues

I choose other.
If I could choose to be good at videogames or to be good at sex, I would ofcourse choose to be good at sex.

...I would however never limit myself to love only females, too dull.

Don't forget you can always use your tongue...

No thanks... Honestly it tastes like rotten moist heated feet. >.<

This poll isn't very friendly to gays. :(

Hey! I never said where I was putting it!

WTF?! Who does these experiments?!

"OK, now that you've kick ass on XBL, take this stopwatch and cup, then blow your load in it, and record the time!"

I'm gonna go ahead and say 'Yeah, right' now. Not everything scientsits claim is true. The experiment needs to be repeated with a bigger test range. I going fora high feth-factor on this one...

For once, I have to agree with Caliostro. These kinds of studies are done all the time, and depending on how you intertpret the data, you can essentialy make them say whatever you want. That being said, good thing I'm not Dutch.

Aries_Split:
This poll isn't very friendly to gays. :(

Also bisexuals.

...kinda.

ok so im just going out on a limb here but arent quick reflexes used in EVERY MAJOR SPORT? So this means that every athlete P.E.'s wow great study and even better for those of you idiots that think this is even close to credable.

SenseOfTumour:
Not sure how being good at satisfying yourself proves much, at least if you're male.

Males could generally get off by rubbing up against a wall, we're not exactly sophisticated creatures really.

I seem to remember the male good sex guide having all of 3 lines

1. In
2. Out
3. Repeat if necessary.

Really tho, isn't there far more to a good sex life than that?

So you're not some porn star level achiever on the basic in and out stuff, learn to please in other ways. It's just not all about that one act for women so much as it is for men. (Generalising hugely to make a point, but you get it).

Oh a little tip from past experience, you know how women say their number one thing they want in a man is a sense of humour?

Well, if you're in the process of oral sex, with her thighs around your head, its not a good time to test the theory.

Looking up and saying 'So how would I look with a moustache?' is the wrong thing, and did, ahem, could rather spoil the mood.

EDIT: looking back I realise I've made myself look even stranger than I usually do, but what the hell, at least I'm hopeless at counter strike.

Hahah, the mustache thing, I'll have to try that. It's the kind of thing I do all the time during intercourse. I'm not too serious about sexual acts. I see it as fun, and I find nothing wrong to doing it while laughing. To hell with that mood thing. I want to workout my abs anytime of the day.

Well I'm decent at first person shooters and definitely do not suffer from premature ejaculation. So either I'm one of the exceptions to the rule, or it only affects those inhumanly good players (In which case I laugh at every single MLG player.)

i'm sorry that is utter bullshit... you cannot make scientific tests that would prove such things.....

Im good at FPS, in fact it's my fav genre.

And I dont have a PE problem, in fact the only problem i've ever had (only on a few occassions) was the exact opposite.

i am a fantastic gamer, i have been playing since i was about 2 years old, and my last girlfriend seemed to like it...and the sex to, i didn't want to do it as may times as she did, i wanted to play on my games but she wanted sex, maybe why we split up, but back on course, trust me your science is bad

I honestly love how many people like to post 'I'm glad I suck at *Insert FPS title here*!'

Classic.

Well I'm Dutch (By heritage) and I'm pretty good at FPS games (Not the best, but I can hold my own) and my wife is satisfied. So I say this study is crap in a can.

Haha, that's hysterical. It's almost as bad as that idea that masturbating causes deafness.

"Scientific proof" like this, to me, always smacks of some sort of limp-wristed attempt to dissuade people from doing things that society thinks is bad, whether it actually is or not. In this case, the "video games maekz people violent!!!111" argument isn't working, so why not try threatening a terrible sex life to everyone who continues to have more fun with their P90s than their P1s anyway? (Argh, terrible pun. Shank to self.)

Though I have to wonder if the leaderboards are taking hits.

Don't blame the scientists guys.

Remember that the news cycle is the exact opposite of good science.
Media: Something weird happened!!!! WOOOAAAHHH report that!!!
Science: I noticed something weird! Cool, lets spend a couple of months testing this observation and then get other people to recreate the tests with larger groups.
10 minutes later:
Media: What was that we just posted online? Fuck me i don't know
Several months later a scientific consensus is reached....it put in the middle pages of one crap news aggregate if its lucky.

If any other labs see enough worth in this pilot study to recreate the experiment with more people or with a more diverse group and slightly different criteria to fine tune the test then we might learn something, right now if might as well say homeopathy had a positive effect on 1 of the 200 people. Useless.

Anyways, I'm distinctly average at first person shooters..........
