    @alanklement @penunurialex @FakePhD_reveal It's very, very obvious the author of this has no idea what they're talking about. If Ariely is such a fraud, you'd think there'd be something more to point to...

Abstract Synopsis

  • Sexual arousal can lead to increased intentions to engage in risky sexual behaviors, such as unprotected sex, in both men and women.
  • The studies showed that higher sexual arousal also makes individuals more impulsive and willing to take risks, not just in sexual contexts but also in general decisions like gambling.
  • When people experience strong sexual arousal, it can impair their decision-making and lower inhibitions, potentially leading to unsafe choices during sexual encounters.]
