Size matters when it comes to female orgasms....
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 11:35 AM by scheming daemons
....of the man's bank account:


Wealthy men give women more orgasms

Jonathan Leake, Science and Environment Editor

Scientists have found that the pleasure women get from making love is directly linked to the size of their partner’s bank balance.

They found that the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms.

“Women’s orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner,” said Dr Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research.

He believes the phenomenon is an “evolutionary adaptation” that is hard-wired into women, driving them to select men on the basis of their perceived quality.

The study is certain to prove controversial, suggesting that women are inherently programmed to be gold-diggers.

61. I took statistics of psychology first
then found out that didn't count as a math class, but statistics of social science did. The soc prof said that. I had to agree as I found her class not nearly as exact as psych stats.

54. Unlikely, as it wasn't based on husbands' reporting of their wives' satisfaction.
Think about it: what a wife tells a researcher about her degree of personal gratification isn't going to have any direct impact on her relationship with her partner.

and if you can stimulate a womans mind, the rest comes pretty easy. I've been trying to teach other guys this lesson, but they don't seem to grasp it. Maybe I should just keep it secret? :shrug:

31. It is inferred from a study of Chinese women
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 12:14 PM by Zodiak Ironfist
...and the implication is that the statistics are similar to the Western world. There is no control group, and there is no reason to believe that the answers in this study were truthful. It certainly was not measured directly.

It's a hypothesis, but I would say it is rather untested. Even the researchers admit that there were MANY factors involved...but a positive correlation with income.

In other words, some science writer in the UK was trying to get creative to get some eyeballs, but he is misrepresenting the science and its meaning.

They are more willing to think that fat is CONTAGIOUS than admit that they discriminate against people who are overweight.

take fewer time outs. Also they are already under less pressure because they don't have to clean the house or watch the kids all themselves.

53. I don't really buy that. Not sure if you're male or female.

Women who fall in love with the sexy, attractive (to them) wealthy men who totally know how to turn their crank, will have more orgasms.
Women who marry wealthy men as a business/practical decision will have more sex to keep him, but that doesn't translate into more orgasms.

I get what you're saying about lack of stress, work etc and the added bonus of spa days and weekend getaways, but those things don't necessarily increase a person's desire for physical satisfaction. It can translate into increased sexual activity and affection though, very easily.

49. Bullshit. Wealth doesn't increase orgasm frequency. Non-wealth DECREASES it.
And there's a reason for that: when you're stressed, depressed, miserable, and frightened, it's harder to relax enough to "get there."

62. I don't believe this for one second
Rich men are too consumed with themselves and their money to give a shit about what their women are feeling. Do you think W or Cheney take the time to please their women? Bullshit. They just call Jeff Gannon or pick up a prostitute. People who are all about money are into selfish low consciousness pleasure.

Now, people who have taken a vow of poverty, who would rather have time then money, take the time to enjoy the pleasures of life. I think that love might even factor in there. But rich self absorbed men, give me a break. I wouldn't even bother with them because their priorities are in the wrong place.

Now who would have the money to pay for such a study I wonder...
