LONDON -- Scientists say being fat can be bad for the bedroom, especially if you're a woman.
In a new study, European researchers found obese women had more trouble finding a sexual partner than their normal-weight counterparts, though the same wasn't true for obese men, and were four times as likely to have an unplanned pregnancy. Fat men also reported a higher rate of erectile dysfunction.
Experts interviewed nearly 10,000 French men and women aged 18 to 69 about their sexual experiences and analyzed the results based on their body mass index.
Obese women were 30 percent less likely than normal-weight women to have had a sexual partner in the last year. In comparison, there was little difference among obese men and normal-weight men as to whether they found a sexual partner.
The results were published online Wednesday in the medical journal BMJ. The study was paid for by several French government agencies.
People with a BMI of 18-24 are considered to have a healthy weight. Those with a BMI of 25 or above are considered overweight and people with a BMI of 30 or more are classified as obese.
Previous studies have found similar trends, but researchers were surprised by the discrepancy they found between the genders as to how excess weight affects peoples' sex lives.
"Maybe women are more tolerant of tubby husbands than men are of tubby wives," said Kaye Wellings, a professor of sexual and reproductive health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and one of the BMJ study authors.

Black men dig fat chicks. I worked with a black guy years ago. We were both in our 20s, so of course we checked out every female within gazing distance and commented on them. I’d be checking out some black chicks for him, saying “how bout that one?” Too thin, he would say. He liked em “thick.” It’s a great boon for fat white women. They can score decent looking black men, much better looking than the white men they can attain. I figure this is behind the fact that the fat chicks have more “unplanned” pregnancies.
I’ll bet that’s a diet soda she’s drinking!;-)

I’m on my blackberry. Is that what I think I see?
It’s been a long time since Hoagy Carmichael’s “Huggin’ a chalkin’” ruled Billboard’s top tunes.
Oh, gee, but ain’t it grand to have a gal so big and fat
That when you go to hug her, you don’t know where you’re at
You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand
And hug a ways and chalk a mark to see where you began
One day I was a-huggin’ and a-chalkin’ and a-chalkin’ and a-huggin’ away
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
A-comin’ around the other way
— over the mountain —
A-comin’ around the other way
That sir, is a pannus apron.
The found partners less often, but when they did, since they hadn’t been expecting to, they weren’t practicing any form of contraception.
How do obese people wipe their own rear end? Fit on a toilet? Scratch their back?
The Diceman's hoggin' pickup line: "Yo! I got fudge!"
To be more precise, it is a Grade 5 Pannus Apron.
It’s something that you don’t get to see too often.
It’s amounting to fat women being more fertile when they do find that “catch.”
Details please?
One of my college roommates was like that. The bigger the better...said he liked it that way...
My father-in-law is a truck driver who had a friend that always went after fat chicks. One day he asked him, “With all the beautiful women in the world why do you go after the fat ones?” His friend replied, “sure thing.”
I’ve always been amazed at the guys who will hump anything. Just doesn’t work for me.
Oh, I've seen it often enough. The same picture, but it's been around more times than I care to see.
