Apparently the signals for arousal and fear can get cross-wired in your brain. It wasn’t fear for me, but I remember when I was a hormonal teen, I would play video games and get so fucking frustrated is have to crank one out to feel better. Maybe that’s the same thing. Maybe I was just weird.

Also apparently that’s why taking a date to a horror movie or amusement park can get you laid. Or maybe it’s all bullshit.
