Do Men Buy Flashy Cars to Overcompensate? Study Finds Truth in Old Stereotype

A new study suggests there may be some truth to the old stereotype that men buy flashy sports cars to compensate for lacking in other areas. Researchers at a London university set out to explore if feelings of inadequacy about penis size motivate men to seek out symbols of virility like sports cars.

The team manipulated participants’ perceptions of their manhoods by presenting misleading information intended to make some men feel below average in endowment. These men were then more likely to express interest in buying a sports car, suggesting they may use conspicuous consumption to boost self-esteem.

The effect was strongest among men over 29, who showed statistically significant increased desire for sports cars after receiving small penis misinformation. The study indicates that age impacts mating strategies, with older men more motivated to showcase status to overcome perceived inadequacies.

This builds on earlier research finding sports cars help men attract dates but don’t necessarily signal long-term partner potential. The authors suggest further study into whether other luxury items similarly compensate for male insecurities.

Of course, flashy cars likely provide an ego boost regardless of the driver’s anatomy. But this study sheds light on the deep-seated psychology potentially at play for midlife men gripped by sports car fever. While pop culture has long joked about compensation, this research suggests a real link between feelings of inadequacy and conspicuous consumption.

New research suggests regularly masturbating could help men reduce their risk of prostate cancer. A recent study found that men who ejaculate at least 21 times per month may lower their chances of prostate cancer by up to a third.

The study, published in European Urology, followed 31,925 men over 18 months and linked frequent masturbation with decreased prostate cancer risk, similar to the benefits of exercise and healthy eating. Researchers believe regularly clearing out toxins from the body through ejaculation offers protective effects.

This adds to a growing consensus around the health benefits of masturbation for men. Despite viral movements like No Nut November that promote abstinence, urologists argue there is no evidence that refraining from masturbation improves physical or mental wellbeing.

Dr. Rena Malik previously told Insider that research shows masturbation reduces stress and prostate cancer risk. She cited a 2016 study finding men under 50 who ejaculated over 21 times monthly had lower prostate cancer diagnoses.

While some claim masturbation hurts athletic performance, Malik dismissed this as unfounded. Instead, the newest research makes it clear that enjoying masturbation frequently could be an important part of self-care for men, with tangible impacts on health.

So while periodic abstinence challenges may seem fun, the science shows masturbating regularly well into one’s 40s could truly save lives by decreasing prostate cancer risk. For optimal health, striving for 21+ monthly masturbation sessions appears the way to go.

In a bizarre and costly crime, thieves have made off with two tanks of high-value bull semen from a farm in Clogher, County Tyrone. The theft of the cryogenic storage units represents a major financial blow, with the contents estimated to be worth a substantial sum into the tens of thousands of pounds.

The thieves targeted the farm sometime between Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The stolen semen was valuable genetic material used for artificial insemination in cattle breeding programs.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has launched an investigation and is appealing for witnesses. Given the highly specialized nature of the stolen property, they believe the tanks would be difficult for the thieves to sell on. Anyone noticing suspicious activity related to agricultural genetic materials is encouraged to contact the police immediately.
