Male fruit flies whose sexual advances are repeatedly rejected get frustrated and less able to handle stress, study found. The researchers say these rejected flies were also less resilient to starvation and exposure to a toxic herbicide.
Can they also suffer with broken heart syndrome? The true love is real: it's just called a rut, heat or oestrus in animals.

New study confirms the impact of sexual double standards in memory recall
A recent study found individuals are more likely to remember negative information about sexually active women than men.
These findings replicate and extend previous research on the sexual double standard, a societal bias that evaluates men and women differently for similar sexual behaviors.
