Some
women prefer a sensitive New Man to a rugged brute.
But
according to research, they’re missing out between the sheets.
A
study of couples’ sex lives has found that women have more orgasms
with men they rated as more masculine and dominant. Unsurprisingly,
those with good-looking partners also fared better.
A
study into sexual relationships found that women had more orgasms,
and at the best times for conception, with men they thought were
handsome and dominant.
Women
who found their partners most attractive were more likely to orgasm
at the same time or just after men, which is the optimum time to get
pregnant.
In
the past, female orgasm has been thought of as biologically useless.
But
researchers from Pennsylvania State University claim the findings
support the theory that female orgasms have an evolutionary function.
Previous
evidence appears to show that it may help retain sperm after sex and
promote conception.
This
research appears to show that female orgasm could be a way of
selecting the best genes for procreation.
The
report, 'Men's masculinity and attractiveness predict their female
partners' reported orgasm frequency and timing', were published
in Evolution and Human Behaviour.
Results
showed that if the man is particularly attractive or masculine, the
woman is much more likely to orgasm at the same time or just after
her partner, and thus increase the chance of getting pregnant.
According
to the researchers, a woman is more likely to become pregnant if she
has an orgasm either one minute before or 45 minutes after a male has
ejaculated.
David
Puts, lead author, wrote: 'We found that objective measures of the
quality of women's mates - men's attractiveness and masculinity -
significantly predicted the women's orgasms.
'Earlier-timed
orgasms suggest more intense sexual arousal and indeed are associated
with greater sexual pleasure.'
I think this is just common sense. The same thing happens to men. Abi?
