Listen up, ladies. There’s a new study in town that reveals which type of man gives women the best orgasms, and the findings are probably not what you expected. But read on, because this info just might be useful the next time you’re swiping through Tinder.
Let’s consider some of the “types” of guys who you might think would give good orgasms. The artistic guy who writes love poems, for instance. The professional athlete who’s in tip-top physical shape. The overly confident (read: cocky) business dude who talks a big game.
Surprise! It’s none of them. The guy who gives the best orgasms isn’t necessarily an athlete, or an artist or a super successful businessman. He’s actually…
Yep, no joke. Apparently, guys with good senses of humor give women the best orgasms. Well, we all know that women love a man that can make them laugh. Now we just have a better idea of why that is.
In a study published in Socioaffective Neuroscience & Psychology, a group of 103 single women took a survey about their sex lives. These women opened up about pretty intimate details, like how often they orgasm and what types of men they’re actually attracted to. And guess which personality trait these women rated even sexier than a smoking hot body? A sense of humor.
To be clear, the study also found that men who are very attractive also have an advantage when it comes to unlocking the elusive female orgasm.
The study showed that “how often women experienced orgasm as a result of sexual intercourse was related to their partner’s income, self-confidence, and how attractive he was. Orgasm intensity was also related to how attracted they were to their partners.”
So rich, hot, confident guys are basically dynamite in bed. No girl ever faked it with Don Draper, for instance. Fortunately for the mere mortals who weren’t blessed with the bone structure of a god or a lot of zeros in their bank account, there is still a way to increase your sexiness – just sharpen your sense of humor.
The study concluded that a man’s sense of humor could predict a woman’s “propensity to initiate sex, how often they had sex, and it enhanced their orgasm frequency in comparison to other partners.” Basically, the funnier you are, the better chance you have of giving her the best orgasm ever.
Humor isn’t the only personality trait that women are attracted to. The study explains, “Partners who induced high-orgasm rates were rated as more humorous, creative, warm, faithful, and better smelling than partners who induced low-orgasm rates, and also engaged in greater efforts to induce partner orgasm.”
Women want funny, loyal, creative, good-looking guys. In fact, some of these emotional traits can make a man far more attractive to a woman than perfectly chiseled abs.
“For instance," the study explains, "Greater levels of humor and creativity may simply contribute to ratings of attractiveness, which in turn increases the likelihood of orgasm.”
These findings echo the results of a similar study, which showed that men with great senses of humor are rated more attractive as partners and have an increased mating success. Women with funny partners reported more orgasms and stronger orgasms.
Make her laugh, then make her orgasm. And boom, you're a hero.
So what is it about funny guys that make women swoon? Well, one theory is that humor correlates with intelligence, and women want more intelligent mates for, you know, survival and whatnot. Another theory is that it humor and confidence are linked pretty inextricably, and women do love a confident guy.
Here’s another reason for women to go for the funny guys – laughter reduces stress. And as we all now, stress is a killer. So if you have a funny partner, you just might live longer. Also, laughter releases endorphins, the feel-good chemicals in our brains. So being with someone funny just makes you feel good (both in and out of the bedroom, apparently).
The findings of this study are nothing new. We women have always known that a guy with a great sense of humor will beat out a super sexy underwear model every time. Unless that underwear model is just modeling as a day job to support his true passion, comedy, and then you’ve hit the jackpot.
So if you’re a guy who wants to improve his prowess in bed, focus less on getting a six-pack and more on sharpening your wit, sarcasm and self-deprecating humor.
Because you know what they say: Nice guys finish last...but funny guys help her finish first.
