Psycho-babbler Extrodinaire

Alternative Title: Amusing thought for the day

On the strength of the lovely Mr Ben's post about the Psychological cues behind eating jelly babies I thought that in my boundless wisdom I would share with you a very amusing and potentially life altering bit of psychobabble.

There is a fairly strong theory backed up by proper research no less, that states that the way people eat is in direct correlation with their sexual habits.... (I can't remember who this reasearch is by and frankly can't be bothered to trawl through my limitless number of Psych journals to find out - so if it's you then consider yourself duly mentioned and sorry I can't remember your name)

Essentially the idea behind this is that because both sex and food are fundamental instinctual necessities within life, the way we approach them is similar. On a social psych level, this is also extremely interesting.

People who, when really enjoying their food, are quite vocal about it, with lots of "mmmm's" and "ahhhhh's'" are almost certainly rather noisy in the bedroom as well.

People who shovel their food in are likely to be a bit quick off the mark, so to speak...

People who spend a long time smelling their food, taking time over every mouthful and savouring every flavour are likely to be big on the foreplay...

People who pick at their food and don't seem to enjoy it much are probably a little bit on the unadventerous, conservative side ...

There is no point to these claims of mine other than to make meal times in mixed company more interesting for you all!.... enjoy!!!

Oh and remember, on the basis of this research, chubby people = good lovers!
