More squeeze, less please

Scientists have attempted to explore the biological importance of the ring finger/index finger ratio, technically known as 2D:4D. If the ring finger is longer than the index it is taken to mean that one has had more exposure to testosterone in the womb. The ratio has been associated with generosity, sporting ability, propensity to heart attacks, exam success, arthritis and sexuality. Men tend to have a relatively long ring finger compared to their index fingers. Women's 2D:4D ratio tends to be even. It has been suggested that there is a higher percentage of longer ring fingers working as city stockbrokers.
What does this prove? That finger scientists like to tell us where we are in job market prospects. Gender and sexuality seem prone to the Protestant Work Ethic. Yet I am trying to escape the credit crunch. I’m looking for research that might be a little more raunchy. That might give me an injection of scientific umph. The best I can find is: ‘psychologists believe that to signal loyalty women orgasm more frequently if their man is rich.’ Wealth has now been added to body symmetry and attractiveness as criteria for copulatory satisfaction. That must mean fewer female orgasms as credit continues to crunch. It adds a whole new dimension to ‘interest rate.’
