Lingerie makes hagglers happy-go-lucky
from news@Nature.

Summed up: Men who were exposed to a higher level of testosterone while in the womb lose their resolve in a gambling situation after being exposed to photos of attractive women, or even just handling a bra.

This article also talks about how you can tell how much testosterone an infant was exposed to in the womb by comparing the lengths of the index and ring fingers. Something that has fascinated me every since I first read about it.

I guess that for most women (?) the index finger is either equal or greater in length than the ring finer. Most men have a longer ring finger. My ring finger is noticeably longer than my index finger, so when I first read this, I thought it must be wrong. But, since then, I’ve noticed that that does seem to be right. Aside: Yes, when I’m straining to look at someone’s hand, I’m not looking for a wedding ring. I’m comparing finger lengths! I haven’t found out yet what that might mean about me. Except that I’m more likely to be a lesbian, I think. I’ve concluded that from various remarks in journal articles, though I don’t think it’s every been explicitly stated that I’ve seen. OTOH, I do wonder if that’s why I have a higher sex drive than most women.

So, Men? Women? How do your index and ring finger lengths compare? How do you think your sex drive compares to others of your sex?
