Rats Prove That Men Prefer A Woman In Lingerie

If we haven't reached the point at which we've run out of studies in which to use rats, we're getting super close. Concordia University in Montreal recently conducted a study designed to discover if men prefer a woman in lingerie, and they did it by putting strange little jackets on female rats. 

According to Live Science (link below), these rats proved that men will be men, even when those men are rats.

In an unusual study, researchers allowed virgin male rats to have sex with females wearing special rodent "jackets." Later, when scientists gave the males a chance to mate again, the animals preferred to mate with jacket-wearing female rats rather than with unclad ones.

The findings suggest that male animals can learn to associate the sight and feel of clothing with sex.

In other words, male rats learn that "each time my partner wears lingerie [a jacket], I'm going to have sex," said study co-author Gonzalo R. Quintana Zunino, a psychologist working in the lab of psychologist Jim Pfaus at Concordia University in Montreal. 

According to eyewitness reports I recently concocted out of thin air, Zunino put on one of the jackets as well and turned to Pfaus and said, "Do you like me when I wear the jacket, Jimmy." He then took the jacket off, reclined on a couch, and said, "Draw me like one of your French girls." [Disclaimer: None of this actually happened]
