Do you get horny when your favorite team scores a victory? You’re not alone. Join us as we explore the connection between sex and sports.
It’s an average, run-of-the-mill Sunday afternoon and a man is watching the big game on the tube. And if his team wins, his ol’ lady might be on his tube. Yessiree, if the colors that this couch-surfing king is rooting for happen to triumph over the opposition, he’s more likely to bend mama over for a celebratory screw. It turns out that men get hornier when their team reigns victorious, according to a new study. Talk about beating the pants off someone!
Seriously, researchers at the University College Dublin in Ireland recently published a paper in the journal PeerJ showing that men who watch professional football, soccer and rugby get randy for some crotch candy when their team defeats another. And these men, presumably drunk on cheap beer and wearing a jersey with a nacho cheese sauce stain down the front, are taking it all the way, too. “Major sporting tournaments may be associated with increased birth rates nine months afterwards,” the study’s authors wrote. Oh yeah—according to the researchers, you’d better believe they’re slipping one past the goalie.
Which is an intriguing theory, but is it true? Some of the men we talked to say that the study has merit. “[Sex] is a solid post-game activity,” a 42-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan named Jon tells HUSTLERMagazine.com. “My wife and I did it in the parking lot of Dave & Buster’s the night of the Super Bowl,” Jon says, adding that the two were too drunk to drive, so they sat in the car for a while, pondering whether or not to call an Uber. One thing led to another and, well, touchdown!
