Newsflash: Intelligent women have better sex

I love these REALLY official-looking research results that crop up in papers and websites. Call me crazy, but emotionally intelligent people probably have better EVERYTHING – relationships, jobs, friendships, spiritual lives.

Find a way to work this into conversation twice today.

Women blessed with ’emotional intelligence’ – the ability to express their own feelings and read others – have better sex lives, research shows.

Those most in touch with their feelings have twice as many orgasms as inhibited sorts, the study found.

The finding could help lead to new ways of counselling the 40 per cent of women who find it difficult or impossible to fully enjoy sex.

Researcher Tim Spector, of King’s College London, said: ‘These findings show that emotional intelligence is an advantage in many aspects of your life including the bedroom.

Professor Spector quizzed more than 2,000 female twins, aged between 18 and 83, about their sex lives.

The women were asked to rate their ability to reach orgasm on a seven-point scale, ranging from ‘never’ to always’.

They also filled in a questionnaire designed to gauge their emotional intelligence and covering traits like self-expression, empathy and contentment.

I am a former big ad agency brand planner, running footloose and fancy-free through the streets of New York City. I read all those huge research reports that explain how and why consumers love or are indifferent to particular brands, the types of messaging that make them break out in night sweats, and the ONE thing you are not doing that your customers really wish you would. I read a lot of other stuff too. I write custom reports, design proprietary research, basically help my smart and fabulous clients become even more so.

    I’ve dated smart women and dumb women. The smart women have always been much better in bed! That being said, sex for me is always about the emotional connection, as what I really want is the feeling of security that comes from a long term relationship based on shared values and future plans.

    No, seriously!
