Thanks to Dr. Gad Saad and his research associate John Vongas (a former grad student of the good Doctor), we can now argue the physiological benefits of driving a Porsche. According to an article in Psychology Today (tomorrow the world), Saad cites several evolutionists who claim expectant fathers’ T levels (that’s Testosterone to you and me) decrease immediately after the birth of their child. This reduced T level is “nature’s way of freeing the expectant father from the incessant pursuit of sex, and refocuses his energy on his newborn child.” Not in a hurry to see that T level dip? Don’t want to be free of your sexual drive? Saad suggest the remedy is as simple as taking a Porsche for a quick spin through a heavily populated area. More technically, “Put a man in a high status car, and his hormonal response will correspond to a social win (T levels go up subsequent to a competitive win). Place him in a ‘beta’ car, and his tail will be between his legs (T levels go down subsequent to a competitive loss). Furthermore, the changes in testosterone levels should be more pronounced as a function of whether the drive takes place in a public or private setting.” Finally, the mid-life crisis automotive purchase is explained through medical science. ‘Bout time.
