> sample size of "1 person"
There are a few different problems here which should not be confused with each other.
1. Variance. This is what people normally talk about when they talk about sample size. Maybe thomyorkie just happened to randomly be horny in those specific instances? If they tried it sufficiently many times that would give a high sample size and eliminate variance problems.
2. Blinding / placebo. Maybe believing that they will be horny causes them to be horny.
3. Representativeness. Maybe thomyorkie just works in their own way and the results wont generalize to other people.
