The study consisted of eight male subjects with the average age of 47 years, who are heterosexual and were married for at least eight years. Fifty percent of the group (4 subjects) were using the prescription drug, Viagra and fifty percent (4) used no drugs at all. The study was conducted over a two-day period. Each subject was fitted with an instrument known as a plethmosizmometer, a device which measures and records events of male sexual arousal during a specific period of time, 48 hours in this case. In a normal, sexually-active and functional male for age groups between 35 to 50 years who is not using Viagra it is common for the male to experience as many as five arousal episodes during the course of a 24 hour period, with three or more of these events occurring during shallow sleep (where the brain activity is between 3-5 Hertz). In the case of Viagra users a state of arousal is maintained for long periods of time and may range from between 4 to 12 hours whether sleep is involved or not.

Prior to commencing the study each of the volunteers was subjected to a battery of comprehensive physiological studies using a 12-Channel Grass Instruments Polygraph machine. Dr. Resnick, who prides his ownership of such an instrument, claims that he "can measure any physiological event in your body...from the pressure on your ocular nerve....to the lymphatic coefficient in the cells comprising your nasal sinus". Physiological data gathered included, Blood Pressures, EKG's, EEG's, Heart Rates, Tidal Volumes and Vital Capacities, and several questions using Galvanometric parameters (lie detector-type). The Plethmometers were calibrated and set to zero prior to dispensing, and each volunteer was instructed in its proper use and care.

For the study participants were instructed to carry out normal daily activities, but were required to listen to "island music", more specifically, "Jimmy Buffett Music", at least five times during the course of a 24 hour interval. At least one song was to be played at least 15 minutes before retiring for the evening, regardless of whether a sexual act was part of a scheduled routine or use of Viagra was planned for that evening or not.

"The data retrieved from the Plethmometers was most compelling", Resnick said. "According to the digital records contained in the Plethmometers each of the subjects became moderately aroused while listening to the Jimmy Buffett music", Resnick continued. "3 of the 4 Viagra patients showed an increase in frequency and duration of arousal without use of Viagra when listening to Buffett music during the course of a normal day. Non-Viagra users' data indicated a remarkable increase in both duration, intensity ....and frequency ....when listening to the Buffett tunes", Resnick said. Resnick said that, "invariably, each of the subjects responded by exhibiting conditions of heightened and intense arousal when subjected to the Buffett tunes just before retiring. Even the Viagra users were able to achieve a condition of intensified arousal during aural (as opposed to oral) stimulation. And, I find this to be quite remarkable !"

Resnick said that he decided to conduct this "mini-study" when he noticed a marked change in the disposition of persons who were attending a social event during which several Jimmy Buffett songs were played. In conclusion Resnick said, "Although such a small sampling of individuals does not a real study make, if I could get whatever it is.... in that music.... into a bottle.... I could sell it by the boatloads!".
