Months ago, we posted an article about how watching films of the smut variety can make women go blind. No really, it's true; someone with an advanced college degree actually spent time researching it and despite no one actually going blind they came to THAT conclusion. Anyway, today we learn it actually has the exact opposite effect on men -- sort of. Instead of making us weak and F*CKING BLIND (still shocks me) researchers are now saying it can make us better in the gym, which isn't as cool as binocular vision but still better than the hammered dog crap women get.

According to the Daily Mail:

A study has shown that male weightlifters can lift heavier objects after watching erotic videos.

Scientists showed different types of video clips to male athletes and then studied their workout performances afterwards.

It said looking at different types of videos produced incredibly different reactions in saliva.

The male athletes found pornography helped them lift heavier weights after they had viewed the sexual clips.

Erotic, aggressive, funny, training and motivational clips prompted a noticeable increase in testosterone.

Also debunked, is the age old myth that sex before competition leads to poor athletic performance.

The study contributes to the recent idea that sex improves an athlete's performance.

Juan Carlos Medina, general coordinator of the sports department at the Tecnologico de Monterrey, a Mexico university, said it has benfits for the athletes.

Sex can help wipe out mental fatigue to leave them feeling refreshed and confident, he claims. 'It helps you feel relaxed and sexually, mentally and physically satisfied,' he said.

So for men, at least, sex does a body good (cue photo of woman --preferably a blind one -- with a cum mustache).
