$9.4 million NIH-Backed Study Includes Research Of Penis Size in Gay Community
Ok, all sensationalism aside, someone in the marvelous think tank (sarcasm) called the US government thought it was a good idea to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a study, by the National Institutes of Health, that examined what effect a gay man’s penis size
has on his sex life and general well-being. Now everyone knows that America has a humongous amount of debt. Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to spend (read waste) on such a useless study. Don’t misunderstand, I have nothing against homosexuals, I just don’t see justifying this kind of expenditure on something that is someones private life. If the government put as much thought(more sarcasm) into things that really mattered as they do into useless things like this……..nah it will never happen!
The study reported, among its findings, that gayDo you agree with the father’s objection to an LGBTQ article in a high school English lesson? men with “below average penises” were more likely to assume a “bottom” sexual position, while those with “above average penises” were more likely to assume a “top” sexual position. Those with average penises identified themselves as “versatile” in the bedroom.
Though it’s difficult to trace exactly how much federal funding went to the project, the study was one of many linked to an $899,769 grant in 2006. The grant was administered by NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, and went first to a group called Public Health Solutions and a researcher with the National Development and Research Institutes before going to individual researchers.
Those researchers then compiled data from a survey of more than 1,000 gay and bisexual men at events in New York City for the gay community.
“This country is broke and we cannot spend money on this kind of stuff,” said Andrea Lafferty, president of the Traditional Values Coalition, which drew attention to the report as part of a six-month investigation into NIH grants for examples of “institutional waste.”
“We’re spending money on wacky stuff,” Lafferty said.
