Women with brains have more fun in bed than the average bimbo, new research suggests.
A study of more than 2,000 female twins showed that those with greater emotional intelligence had larger numbers of orgasms.
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to monitor and manage feelings and emotions in oneself and others.
The findings suggest that low EI is a risk factor for female orgasmic disorder, one of the most common sexual problems suffered by women.
Up to 30 per cent of women find it difficult or impossible to reach a climax during sexual intercourse.
Professor Tim Spector, director of the Twin Research Department at King's College London and co-author of the study, said: "These findings show that emotional intelligence is an advantage in many aspects of your life including the bedroom. This study will help enormously in the development of behavioural and cognitive therapies to improve women's sexual lives."
A total of 2,035 female volunteers from the TwinsUK registry were recruited for the study, ranging in age from 18 to 83.
The registry consists of adult twins who have agreed to take part in studies to investigate the causes of common disorders. Using twins makes it possible to disentangle genetic and environmental risk factors.
All participants completed questionnaires giving details of their sexual behaviour and performance and also answered questions designed to test their emotional intelligence.
A significant association was found between EI and frequency of orgasm both during masturbation and sexual intercourse.
Women in the bottom 25 per cent of the emotional intelligence range had twice the normal risk of infrequent orgasm.

Now they tell me.
I’m too old to switch gears now. ;)
You know how a real man can tell when his woman has been satisfied? Who cares.
This doesn’t suprise me at at all!
Focus!
hmm, coincidentally up to 30 % of women have never been with me. demands further study!
I have got to get one of those grants!
ROTFLMFAO!
That comment just proved it!
My GF is a MENSA genius.
Maybe they enjoy it more. But the get it less.
Great way to get a yeast infection.
I have had the opportunity to test the entire spectrum and it is my biased opinion that women are women and some are better than others. There are white ones, there are yellow ones, there are brown ones and black ones they are all wonderful creations and they all ___ just the same.
“OK, but what about the men?”
Men enjoy sex whether the woman is smart, dumb, or not present.....
I never am asked to participate in the good tests!
Women with brains have more fun in bed than the average bimbo...what about the intelligent bimbos? And isn't it true that everyone is born with a brain? ;')
PING!
LOL!
What microscope?
Add flour and we’ve got a bun in the oven.
