Virgin male rats prefer to have sex with females in sexy lingerie

Victoria’s Secret may have a new market.

Virgin male rats were allowed to have sex with female rats wearing special rodent “lingerie” for a study. When given a chance to do the deed again, they preferred the females clad in the bra-like jackets, according to Live Science.

The rodent Romeos learn that “each time my partner wears lingerie (a jacket), I’m going to have sex,” said study co-author Gonzalo R. Quintana Zunino at Concordia University in Montreal.

According to the findings, male animals can learn to link clothing with sex. In previous studies, the researchers trained rats to associate an odor with having sex — and the males preferred a romp with females with that scent.

In the new study, 12 male rats mated with females wearing the foxy jackets. The males were then put in a chamber with two females — one wearing a jacket and one “au naturel.”
The males made more attempts to mount the females and even, ahem, finished more quickly with the females wearing the jackets.

In a bid to discover how rats’ brains were affected, researchers sacrificed the rodents and injected a dye into their brains to determine the activity of the c-fos gene in the pleasure centers of their brains.

Males that mated with the clothed females showed more c-fos activity than did males that mated with unclothed females, according to preliminary results.
The study was presented last month at the Society for Neuroscience’s annual meeting in Washington.

What the devil did I just read here?

[mrtoad]

This should get Roland Rat and Costas going

[mrtoad]

Will they do a follow up with Gerbils and Badgers?

[draftvader]

Well, there's one animal that won't be joining the campaign to ban animal experimentation!

[Bkungbank]

There difference between male and female

Male on short term desire where attracted to scent, accessories and mating that's is nature if man,

Female more on choosing a good gene for next generation like tall, handsome, no baldness and fat of course have huge saving in bank.

[Clutch]

I find it rather concerning that some individuals job is actually dressing up rats in sexy lingerie and foxy jackets when some simple lipstick could've sufficed.

[Somtamnication]

Gotta get a see-through for my buffalo.

[canuckamuck]

This thread is nothing without pictures.

[ABCer]

Are you sure we are talking about rats here? There is a huge Industry involved.

[englishoak]

Ill go out on a limb here and say....... BS

[canarysun]

I don't think our " furry friends " will come sniffing about here in Thailand.The nearest thing to " sexy lingerie " is " APPLE CATCHERS " .......

[weegee]

I have finally seen a Topic thats funny after a long time...

loved the one about...."Gotta get a see- through for my buffalo"..Top marks for that little snippet.

What would it feel like if another species were experimenting on any one of the researchers loved ones?

[WitawatWatawit]

Study ratifies allure of flimsy lingerie.

Ratcatcher - your insider's view, please.

[ChrisY1]

I don't believe this study was carried out in Montreal....I'm pretty sure it was at Khon Khen Uni....

This is so funny. I'm off to get a rat jacket

[DeepInTheForest]

If Pavlov were alive, he'd be palm-smacking his forehead for not thinking of this.

If this is an attempt to justify the remarks of the dear leader regarding wearing bikinis at Thai beaches- I'm not convinced.

Probably jealous if it involved constant sex! Edited December 16, 2014 by draftvader

[micmichd]

F***, too late to join the test, I'm not a virgin anymore.

[ThaidaGwaii]

How long does a rat is a virgin? 2 weeks?

Oh clever, and if it was your child and they were sacrificed and their brains were died, what then?

[canuckamuck]

You should see what they did with the gerbils.

Right....too serious

I doubt anybody here is celebrating the atrocities that happen against animals but this has to be one of the funniest animal experiments ever in the history of mankind. If you can't lighten up a touch then please carry on berating on here but I doubt you are going to change opinion.

My own view is that as much as I find animal experimentation abhorrent I have a moral dilemma when it comes down to experimentation for life-saving therapies. The experimentation for cosmetic purposes I am clear about though.

Nonetheless the vision of a white coated lab tech "dolling up" a little girlie rat in kinky undies has got me truly tickled. I hope you can find some small portion of joy somewhere in your life too.

Now now. Richard Gere has said that is all behind him now

[DrTuner]

So sexy lingerie is the precursor of having your brains sliced open.

[micmichd]

There's a picture in the NYPost article, unfortunately not showing which part of the female bodies were covered by the "jacket".

For the females:

Virgin rats you seduce with lingerie are finished more quickly

For the scientists:

Do male rats improve their somewhat erratic sexual behaviour when they are not virgins anymore?

[canuckamuck]

So sexy lingerie is the precursor of having your brains sliced open.

Metaphorically speaking, yes that is often the case.

[draftvader]

Did they perform another experiment where they had a female rat with sweatpants and a scowl watching TV or a beer?
