LSD: the learning drug, or is it?

Let's face it when you think of LSD (or google it), images of trippy visuals, tie-dye shirts, and maybe even Ed Shereen melting into his guitar come to mind. But what if I told you there's a buzz about LSD being a learning drug? Buckle up, psychonauts, because we're diving down the rabbit hole of this mind-bending debate. First, let's be clear: LSD is illegal and carries serious risks, both mental and physical. This ain't some "magic pill" for instant enlightenment. But hear me out... some pretty impressive figures have experimented with LSD and claimed it unlocked new perspectives and even fueled creativity. Exhibit A: Steve Jobs. The Apple co-founder famously credited LSD with "a peak into the top of my mind" and attributed its influence to his design sensibilities. Think about it, the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of Apple products – could that be a trip-inspired epiphany? Exhibit B: Aldous Huxley. This literary giant wrote "The Doors of P...

The Real Reason Why Men Love Boobs and Butts (It's Not What You Think)





It is no secret that the female body has long fascinated men. And while the media may have shifted its focus from breasts to butts over the years, the underlying reasons for our attraction to certain physical features remain the same.

According to a recent study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, men are particularly drawn to women with a specific degree of spinal curvature, specifically a 45-degree angle above the top of their butts.


This curvature is thought to be associated with increased stability and reduced risk of injury during pregnancy, making it a desirable trait for men seeking a mate with strong reproductive potential. But it's not just spinal curvature that men find attractive.

 

                            

Breasts have long been a focus of male attention, with research suggesting that men's fascination with breasts can be traced back to their early experiences with nursing as infants. When men see, touch, or even think about breasts, their brains release feel-good chemicals associated with nursing, leading them to associate breasts with pleasure and comfort. Interestingly, research also suggests that their relationship goals may influence men's preferences for breast size.


Men who are more interested in short-term, low-commitment relationships tend to be more attracted to women with larger breasts, while those seeking long-term, emotionally committed partners tend to prefer smaller breasts.


When we are confronted with breasts or even breast-related stimuli, like bras, we’ll start making bad decisions.

Of course, attraction is a complex phenomenon that considers a wide range of physical and psychological factors. While spinal curvature and breast size may play a role in men's perceptions of female attractiveness, they are by no means the only factors at play.


So the next time you find yourself admiring a certain aspect of someone's physique, remember that there is likely a complex web of evolutionary, social, and personal factors at play. And while it's natural to be drawn to certain physical features, it's important to remember that true attraction is about much more than just looks.
