Mohan: Message #9735 from Mohan Marette at Nov 22 1999 2:06PM Amisha Patel. Your ref: 216.32.165.70 Hello there Mohan: You know about IQ and now hear this: OQ. What is the Osculation Quotient of Amisha patel? Also did your limbic system turn on <G> More on Limbic system: deccanchronicleonline.com It is lust and not love at first sight for men: Study London: A study conducted by a team of psychiatrists indicates that for men, only lust, and not love, is possible at first sight. Scientists at the Institute of Psychiatry here have developed a test to differentiate between love and lust by using the latest scanning technology to measure blood flow to the brain. The aim of the research is to establish whether love at first sight is actually possible for men or only lust. When we first see them we are attracted to them; we do not immediately fall in love. Probably it is lust at first sight, then love comes along,? Dr Tanmoy Sharma, head of cognitive pycho-pharmacology at the institute and project-leader, told the Sunday Telegraph. As part of the research, 80 men aged between 18 and 50 were shown erotic, romantic, neutral and violent images on a screen. Their brain patterns were monitored by magnetic resonance imaging scans. The romantic images included a couple looking longingly into one another?s eyes, while the erotic images were made up of soft and hard pornography. The neutral visuals showed people talking or catching a bus while violence was depicted in the form of images of road accidents and dead bodies. The research revealed that love and lust, represented by the romantic and the erotic, could stimulate different parts of the brain. The erotic imagery stimulated an upsurge in demand for oxygen to feed nerve cell activity in the limbic cortex, the part of the brain responsible for sexual arousal, as measured by increased blood flows to those regions of the brain. According to Dr Sharma, if love was different from lust, the study would have important implications in the before and after testing of sex offenders. The testing method could be used to find out whether offenders, after treatment, were less aroused when exposed to erotic imagery. The study also provides vital clues on how men and women differ. It became clear we should concentrate on male sexual arousal because it seems to be a much simpler phenomenon in men than in women, said Dr Sharma.If two people have a lust-driven relationship, that is perfect, Margaret Ramage, a psychosexual therapist and former chairman of the British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy, told the Sunday Telegraph. But if a couple have differences they have to deal with those. Anything that adds to our knowledge of the differences is helpful, she added.
