Scientists Find Gene That Makes You Good at Halo Also Makes You a Premature Ejaculator

After a study of 200 Dutch men, scientists found that those with a premature ejaculation problem all had a version of a gene that controls the release of serotonin. And, unfortunately for all of you awesome Call of Duty players out there, those affected seem to “have very quick reflexes. They may be excellent at playing tennis or computer games, for example.” Oh, cruel fate!

Well, at least now you have an excuse, both for your lousy performance in the sack and your awesome performance on Xbox Live. The only problem is that now you can expect a whole new barrage of insults coming over your headset every time you take down an opponent.

So what’s this mean for you in the long run, my prematurely ejaculating, headshotting friend? Maybe a drug that’ll let you last longer without buying those condoms with numbing juice in the tip. However, if you had the option of taking a pill that would make you a stallion in the sack but make you suck at video games, would you do it? Talk about your tough decisions. [BBC]

    So I guess it’s a good thing that I suck at computers games?

    Can you just imagine it?
    “Ohh…. it’s happened already?!”
    “damn…well….hey I’m satisfied!”
    “Hmm”
    “Hey you should see me on COD though! I’m a 10 star general and have unlocked all the leet weapons in the game!!”
    “……”
    “Impressive hey? I can see you’re totally speechless at my skill!”
    “Yes….yes… I’m totally impressed with your skill….”
    “Yeah I’m a legend on the servers. I’m also a platoon leader in “
    “ohh…. right…..I think I’m going to go home now”
    “But it’s 4am”
    “Oh oh that’s fine”
    “Hey I’ll drive you home. I’ve got the CGC a.k.a Computer Geeks Club, high score on need for speed III”
    “No no it’s quite ok I’ll let myself out and please don’t follow”
    “You won’t even see me behind you if I did. I have top level in stealth skill on splinter cell.”
    “OOOKK… um…. LOOK ALIENS!!!!”
    “WHAT WHERE!? GET BEHIND ME I KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM I’VE CLOCKED ALIENS V PREDITOR 4 TIMES NOW!”
    sound of scuttling feet as she exits in a rather rushed style.
    “Oh what…. you’ve gone! Doesn’t matter I’ll play strip poker 4…. I’m a super stripper on that game”
