Latin Lover – or better not?
At my golf club today’s discussions have been dominated by one issue. An obviously serious Italian Journal had edited the results of a study where they had looked at let us say “sexual energy” on one side and general intellectual capabilities on the other.
The first part of the study dealt with “sexual interest and capabilities” and here the Italians felt very pleased, some just “naturally reassured” as they had been given a leading position in comparison with other European countries. The golf club discussions, however, became very heated as the second part of the study came to the result the price to be paid for being “strong” would lie in less overall intellectual capacities. Let us just neglect the disputable scientific value of the study: I was unable, even with good old companions and friends, to find out on what side they would prefer to see themselves in the context of the study as they too are going ahead with the motto “eat the dough but have the cake anyway”. |
