Food and Sex (Finally)

 As an antidote to Friday’s serious-minded treatise about the economics of obesity, I offer this friendly little tidbit, which was leaked from a forthcoming book on internet porn titled A Billion Wicked Thoughts: Three times more men search for “overweight women” than “underweight women” when seeking out porn images on the Web.  I know, I know: “underweight women” doesn’t sound like a phrase that pops into guys’ heads as they’re googling for fantasy material (“slender women with unusually large breasts” seems more likely, though probably using a few choice words I won't get into here), but still…the comparison gives a bit of credence to the very logical notion that men don’t consider a bag-o’-bones to be a sexy bedmate.  When choosing between skinny and heavy, they’d much rather grab something cuddly.  This goes out to every woman who ever felt self-conscious before, during, or after the deed.
