A study funded by Proctor and Gamble Pharmaceuticals found that "Hysterectomy involving ovary removal (oophorectomy) increases a woman's likelihood of experiencing low sexual desire, and decreased pleasure and orgasm, researchers report."

No kidding? Gee, who would have thought that removing a womans organs, particularly organs that produce hormones would have that effect! Wowza, what a shock!

Is it just me, or does it actually make sense to "study" this type of topic, spending thousands, maybe millions of dollars to come up with what is clearly common sense?

I'm not sure how many years ago it was, far too many to worry about, Texas A&M was awarded a 35K grant to find out why some chickens lay cracked eggs.

As it happens, my landlord at the time raised chickens (Dark Brahma) and I could have called A&M and told them why. SOME CHICKENS LAY EGGS STANDING UP!
