Read the actual paper. Psypost is a shit source. The headline is clickbait and the direction the article goes isn’t the direction the study went. As usual, Psypost is really interested in saying things they want to say not thing the study was covering.

Yeah, my take away from just reading the abstract is that the study doesn't really conclude anything significant. One of the reasons is that they weren't able to get a diverse sample, only W.E.I.R.D dudes.

What I think should the headline is not about how well they get laid, it's that metal players don't do it to get laid.
