If you’ve ever wondered if it were okay to watch porn before a first date, there’s data that not only says it’s okay, but if you want the date to go well, it’ll actually help.

Based on the findings of professor Gurit Birnbaum, watching porn before a first date can make things go smoothly later. This is due to sexual priming, which essentially inspires both men and women to feel more sociable and talkative. According to UK Times, Birnbaum says the way porn activates “the sexual system” inspires “strategies that allow people to become closer to potential partners.”
What it boils down to is that people are more likely to open up, which can lead to more engagement between the parties involved. But any chance that offers an opportunity to watch porn without facing scrutiny sounds like a golden opportunity. Besides, science says so.
