I'll need to make Mrs. CW aware of this

Women instructed to embrace their romantic partner prior to undergoing a stressful experience had a lower biological stress response—as indicated by levels of the stress hormone cortisol in saliva—compared to women who did not embrace their partner. This effect was not seen for men.

Of course, the men don't get the benefit. Figures.

  1. Really, No benefit? I think being embraced by my firlfriend as a definite benefit. I've had one of the surguries where one of the not-insignificant results is death (about a 20% chance) and I was really only concerned with getting to 9 counting down after receiving anesthesia...I didn't even make it through ten...
