Omg. Mrs. Fiddlesworth. I love it. Also makes me (even more) glad that I don’t do my field research in the far north.

Would you mind explaining the Coolidge effect? o.o I’m feeling a bit too lazy to look it up.
Great ficlet though. :D

Due credit to YodaOnCrack for suggesting the Coolidge Effect.

Coolidge Effect (and I had to check Wikipedia for this, but Yoda knew it all along) is that sexual activity will increase overall with the introduction of a new individual of the opposite gender into an environment. And that’s as succinctly as I think I can put it.

Love it & your explanation of the Coolidge Effect is great – love the story about how the term came about with the chickens & President Coolidge’s wife, etc. Well done! Can’t believe you wrote this one so quickly… – Yoda
