Around the earth , gender , drug , and rock ' n ' rollare saidto go paw - in - helping hand . But do they ? AsPsyPostreports , a duet of Pennsylvania psychologists late dive into the empirical grounds tying the three together , asking college students to mouth about their drug use , sex lives , and medicine predilection and talents to suss out whether people who play and bask stone medicine really do have more alive sexuality lives and drug enjoyment .
Published in the journalHuman Ethnology Bulletin , the study [ PDF ] of 467 students relied on self - reportage , which is n’t typically the most reliable evidence — hoi polloi are wo nt to exaggerate how often they ’ve had sexual urge , for instance — but the sketch also asked them about their desire , posing questions like " If you could , how frequently would you have sex activity ? " It also asked about how often the bookman drank and what drug they had tried in their lifetimes . They also described their melodic experience and what sort of music they mind to .
The upshot were sundry , but the researcher identified a relationship between wish quicker , " hard " medicine and having more sex and doing more drug . Acoustic indie rock aficionados were n’t get quite as wild as heavy metallic element fans . High - tempo - medicine lovers were more probable to have taken hallucinogenic drugs like LSD , for example , and run to have had more intimate cooperator in the previous year than people who favored slower types of euphony . According to the report , previous enquiry has found that aid - seeking people are more probable to enjoy " hard " medicine .
The study did n’t have a various enough grouping either in age or in ethnicity to really set about to make wholesale generalisation about human , particularly since college students ( the participants were between 18 and 25 ) tend to engage in more speculative behaviors in general . But this could put down the groundwork for next enquiry into the topic . Until then , it might be more precise to transfer the phrase to " sexual urge , drugs , and heavy metal . "
