Why not?

So I'd been noticing a particular variety of spam at my work account recently which had incongruous subject lines that looked for all the world like they were ripped from some 70s PSA about terrible, terrible reasons to have sex. A little Googling turned up this: 237 Reasons To Have Sex. Which is, in fact, a psychology paper (the actual paper is in a PDF linked from the blog post I linked to). But man, there are a lot of really terrible reasons.

The top half-dozen or so reasons found by the study, though, aren't all that bad. Maybe there's hope for humanity yet.

(The other nice thing about this list is it's pretty trivial to make a small number of subject-line filters that trash 99% of them.)
