Well, I hope you’ll be pleased to know that I survived Cheltenham – just – even though Giant Bolster, my big tip for the Gold Cup, pulled up and is now probably on the way to the glue factory as you read this.
Still, we’ll soon be back in the saddle next month at the Grand National meet, where Aintree Ladies Day always guarantees a few laughs, if nothing else.
Talking of back in the saddle. I’ve got some great news for us girls, who have porn-obsessed men in tow. Not that I’m a reluctant visitor to Pornhub myself, but every man I have ever gone out with – and that’s quite a few I may add – is obsessed with the stuff.
For some of the sisterhood, this can be rather worrying. After all, the things those pornstars get up to are enough to make even my eyes water at times. And there is a long-held view that men who watch a lot of super-strength smut – are there any who don’t? – become desensitised and can’t get it up when it comes to just “regular sex”, whatever that is.
However, a laboratory study – who on earth would sign up to that? – involving 280 Montreal men, found the vast majority who watched hardcore porn at home were even better in the sack.
One of the psychologists who produced the study said: “We found that the men who had watched more sex films at home were more aroused when they watched sex films in the lab. They are responding more strongly to very vanilla erotica … it proves [that] viewing erotica at home is not desensitising and perhaps even sensitised the men to respond more strongly.” Maybe a trip to Montreal is on the cards…
While I’m on the subject, I see there are even more changes afoot at Centaur Media after the company revealed it is trying to sex up the Data Strategy Awards by renaming them the Data Storytelling Awards. So, stand by your beds for Fifty Shades of Regression Analysis, and Last Confabulation in Paris? Or everyone’s favourite Debbie Does Data in Dallas…
