Welcome back to another smoking hot week of Carnal Knowledge, a sexy rendezvous between sex and science. This week, bad bitch researcher Anna treats the hosts to a study that highlights the complexity of human attraction and the subtle ways in which our behaviours can signal deeper qualities to potential partners. The study investigates the role humour plays in social interactions, capable of influencing our perceptions and relationships in significant ways. Anna breaks down how the researchers classified “positive” and “negative” humour and what humour signifies in terms of long-term partnership compatibility. Spoiler alert: Get your little joke books out. Time to communicate with warmth and playfulness. Link to study: My funny valentine: How humor styles affect romantic interest Hosted on Acast.
