Want to hear a little secret?

Guys love to masturbate. I bet you had no idea, but they do. In the bed, in the car, in the shower. Hell, I’m sure they’ve even done it in class and I’m willing to wager there are a few doing it right now. While reading this article.

And it doesn’t matter if they have a girlfriend (read: consistent booty) or not; they can’t resist a threesome with Jergens and their right hand.

However, studies such as those mentioned above are proving that in many cases, thin or underweight people are in poorer health than those with a few excess pounds. The Journal of the American Medical Association conducted fitness tests and observed mortality rates of their subjects, and discovered that “fitness level, regardless of body mass index, was the strongest predictor of mortality risk.” Therefore, skinny people blessed with a fast metabolism will still find working out to be advantageous to their health, and “big boned” individuals should not be written off as being “lazy” or “sluggish,” as stereotypes suggest.
