House music causes temporary impotence, Italian researchers claim.
Research conducted by psychologists at the Help Me association in Rome found 66% of Italian youngsters suffer sexual problems after listening to the music.
The survey was conducted on 500 Italian clubbers aged 16 to 24.
Psychologist Willy Pasini told the News 2000 website: "The strong rhythmic component, and the almost total lack of melody do not inspire sexual thoughts in one's mind."
The researchers claim house music cause "mental impotence" because it doesn't leave room in the brain for sexual desire.
"Music heard in the clubs causes an alternate state of consciousness, which distracts the brain from taking care of its vital functions", researcher Chiara Simonelli said

| That's interesting, I didn't know that there's a possible correlation between house music and impotency. But I think we should be critical of this study and wait for more statistics on this to cum out. |

I agree, we shouldn't jerk around when it comes to this.
We are liable to fire the first shot.

I heard about something very simaler to this... they did a test on rats sometime ago with some interesting results as to what types of music can affect the brain... here is a little snippet of it:
| quote: | I came across a very interesting magazine article in the April 4th, 1988 issue of Insight Magazine about a study done by physicist Dr. Harvey Bird from Fairleigh Dickinson University and neurobiologist Dr. Gervasia Schreckenberg from Georgian Court College in Lakewood, NJ. Dr. Bird is very interested in the effects of sound and music on our bodies. I subsequently got a chance to meet Dr. Bird and discuss his work and his theories. He and Dr. Schreckenberg had teamed up to study the effects of music on laboratory mice. They subjected one group of mice to incessant voodoo drum beats, one group to Strauss waltzes and one group was kept in silence. The experiment used music played at low volume so that volume was not a cause for any behavioral changes observed. Over the period of the experiment, they tested the different groups to see how well they could run through a maze to get to their food. This was a measure of their cognitive ability - their ability to remember the maze over time.
Bird and Schreckenberg found that the group that listened to the voodoo music had a very difficult time with the maze that increased over time to the point where they were totally disoriented and unable to complete the maze. The other groups had no problem learning the maze, with an edge given to the mice listening to the waltz music. Even when the mice were given a break from the music for three weeks, the group that had previously listened to the voodoo music "still could not remember how to get to their food, while the others found it quickly with no problem," said Schreckenberg. This was pretty compelling evidence of the effect of different kinds of music on mental functioning. But the best evidence was yet to come.
When the mice brains were later dissected at the end of the experiment, it was found that the mice that had been listening to the voodoo music had abnormal structural changes in their brain cells! The neurons in their brains were growing out wildly in all directions without connecting to other neurons. There was also abnormal amounts of Messenger RNA, a chemical that the brain uses for storing memories. Wow! Real physical evidence of brain damage as a result of exposure to harmful music! Finding abnormal changes to brain tissue like this proved that music can affect areas deep inside the brain, which other activities don't affect. Schreckenberg further commented, "We believe that the mice were trying to compensate for this constant bombardment of disharmonic noise. |

I think this study is based more upon the fact the researchers don't like house music.
Speaking from personal experience, jumping around in a tightly packed room next to sweaty scantily-clad women gets me horney as :D |

| House music is soooooooooooooooo boring. Now trance increases sex. I'm sure of that, but then studies just take a random group of ppl |

wouldn't that mean we could use house music as the new birth control? |
