Frequency of Sexual Intercourse is negatively correlated to the Intelligence Quotient.
Frequency of Sexual Intercourse is negatively correlated to the Intelligence Quotient.
This morning I had to attend a boring training for an application, which is a competitor to the one we had developed and implemented last year. My motivation was accordingly and the few beers at the Rouge last evening were not conducive either… Anyway, wasn’t there a ban on noise pollution in Uganda? This horrible 24/7 noises coming from the construction site of the (former) Nile International Hotel drives me crazy! … Okay, so I was sitting there surprised that it is indeed possible that one can talk 20 minutes about how to open an application (Unbelievable!), when I saw my neighbour reading The New Vision. I envied her because I had forgotten my PDA downstairs. So I turned my attention to the headlines of the daily. One was very catchy: “The cleverer you are, the less sex you want!“
Guess what I thought? No. Wrong. I thought: “What will the Government do about it?” On the one hand the government demands higher human reproduction rates and at the same time it demands better trained and educated human capital. Hm! There is obviously a trade-off and this article will probably be called subversive western attempt to undermine the successful implementation of the new economic strategy. Okay and the second thought was different but immediately interrupted by the trainer’s bad English accent, when he started to try fixing something on my computer, which I had already fixed (mapping of a network drive).
During the following break, I fetched my PDA and read my emails. One came from a friend in Munich. He basically told me the same bad news, so I asked my colleague, whether I could read the article (see below).
I know the difference between GDP and GNP (macro economics: gross domestic product = gross national Product - factor payments from abroad + factor payments to abroad). I know what the cobweb theory is about and could also explain it (micro economics: explains how the price equilibrium is established under the assumption of adaptive expectations in a more or less dynamic environment). Well, and you guessed it: Of course I know the Pythagoras theorem (but not all of its hundreds of proofs: In every orthogonal triangle with two short sides a, b and a long side of length c, it holds that a2+b2=c2).
So according to the article, this proofs that a “man pursuing a PhD sets himself goals that compete with his animal drive for sex.” I was shocked. I mean not because I could now blame something on another thing, which would not be appropriate because you should not assert oneself to be intelligent, shouldn’t you? But is it true what the article reports? Maybe it is the result of a spurious regression. I did not want to believe that being intelligent means that one has less sexual intercourse. Admittedly, there is the German saying “Dumm fickt gut.” / “Goons fuck better.”, however, according to more serious sources (Men’s Health, e.g.), it is generally proofed that intelligent people have better sex.
Poor intelligent people. They could have a better coitus but less opportunities to have sexual intercourse. This is contradicting, isn’t it? So, I went to the web and searched for the original papers of Prof. Halpern (Link):
Halpern CT, Joyner K, Udry JR, Suchindran C, “Smart teens don't have sex (or kiss much either).”, Journal of Adolescent Health: 26 , 3 , 213-25 , March , 2000
It was no challenge to find the referred journal paper but instead of spending money for the full article (which I might not fully understand – see my experience with the herpes/liquorices article), I just read the abstract of it (see below). Its main conclusion is “Controlling for age, physical maturity, and mother’s education, a significant curvilinear relationship between intelligence and coital status was demonstrated; adolescents at the upper and lower ends of the intelligence distribution were less likely to have sex. Higher intelligence was also associated with postponement of the initiation of the full range of partnered sexual activities.”
I am very relaxed and I will now turn back to my books, papers, and my writing!
By the way: I learnt another opposite for “Rosy Palm and her five friends” - partnered sexual activities.
“Abstract
Purpose: To examine the relationship between an intelligence measure and a wide spectrum of partnered sexual activity ranging from holding hands to sexual intercourse among adolescents.
Method: Analyses are based on two separate samples of adolescents. The core sample of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) includes approximately 12,000 adolescents enrolled in the 7th to 12th grades. The Biosocial Factors in Adolescent Development projects followed approximately 100 white males and 200 black and white females over 3- and 2-year periods, respectively. Both studies used the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) as an intelligence measure, and confidential self-reports of sexual activity. Logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between PPVT scores and coital status in Add Health data; proportional hazard models were used to examine the timing of initiation of noncoital and coital activities as a function of PPVT scores in the Biosocial Factors sample.
Results: Controlling for age, physical maturity, and mother’s education, a significant curvilinear relationship between intelligence and coital status was demonstrated; adolescents at the upper and lower ends of the intelligence distribution were less likely to have sex. Higher intelligence was also associated with postponement of the initiation of the full range of partnered sexual activities. An expanded model incorporating a variety of control and mediator variables was tested to identify mechanisms by which the relationship operates.
Conclusions: Higher intelligence operates as a protective factor against early sexual activity during adolescence, and lower intelligence, to a point, is a risk factor. More systematic investigation of the implications of individual differences in cognitive abilities for sexual activities and of the processes that underlie those activities is warranted.”

“The cleverer you are, the less sex you want
QUESTION: How can you tell if a man is ready for sex?
Wrong answer: Look at his pants.
Right answer: Look at his chest. If he is still breathing, then he is ready.
Yes, men are ready for sex anytime, but some want it and go for it more than others. There are women who want it more than men. And you can easily tell who can kill for sex by looking at the head.
A US magazine, American Demographics, surveyed 10,000 adults in 1997 and discovered a link between sex drive and intelligence. The more intelligent you are, the less sex you have and you want to have. So, tell me your sex life and I will tell you your Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
If you are the type who thinks sex and oxygen should play in the same league, that 30 minutes are a beep and you cannot have sex and chew gum at the same time, you are dim-witted.
The research found intellectuals with postgraduate qualification had sex 52 times a year, below the 61 average for ordinary graduates. Secondary school drop-outs gyrate a whooping 94 times while those who saw no books can easily hang 140 skins up to dry.
This means if your date across the table knows the difference between GDP and GNP, or can explain the cobweb theory, your chances of seeing their nakedness soon are as slim as Arsenal’s title hopes. But if this person has never heard of the Pythagoras theorem, go on red alert for sex.
Psychologists think it is inferiority complex. A person who thinks the partner will be impressed at a neighbour’s graduation party, must make a point the previous night to prove that the groin can outtalk the brain.
But a professor, who is respected per see, applauded in conferences and consulted in vital matters, has nothing, aside pen and paper, to prove. On the contrary, this high esteem creates psychological pressure and anxiety to extend the aura to the bed. They approach sex wondering whether their fire-spitting prowess in lecture rooms and conferences won’t be diluted by under-performance. And the more they can avoid this performance anxiety, the better.
Naturalists say sex is our animal instinct to survive. The closer to our ancestor in intellect you are, the more you vigorously pursue sex. But for an academician, whose brains are distracted by new stimuli, information, plans for the better and anxiety to remain on top, sex ceases to be priority. A man pursuing a PhD sets himself goals that compete with his animal drive for sex.
That is why Anne Weyman, chief executive, Family Planning Association, said that ambition is the best form of contraception.
According to sociology, the more problems a couple faces, the higher the propensity to copulate. That is why population increases during war times! The poor tend to produce more.
The University of North Carolina, examined teenagers’ sexual habits, and revealed smarter adolescents start having sexual relations later than teens of average intelligence. “An adolescent with an IQ of 100 — average intelligence — was up to five times as likely to have had sexual relations than a peer with an intelligence score of 120-130,” Dr Carolyn Halpern, a team leader on the research said.
Smarter girls were even less likely than their male counterparts to have sex at an early age. The analysis revealed that for each point increase in intelligence score, the chance of necking went down 2.5% for boys and 1.6% for girls. The likelihood of sex decreased 2.7% for boys and 1.7% for girls.
Good grade students may shy away from sex because they are already planning their future. And teens of lower intelligence are more vulnerable to being taken advantage of or less likely to consider possible negative consequences of having sex.
Another study by the universities of Aberdeen, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow on the IQ hindrance to marriage showed that girls experience a 40% drop in desire for marriage for each 16-point rise in IQ. The study was based on the IQs of 900 women between their 10th and 40th birthdays.
In Africa, a Phd woman has less than fewer men to attract because women prefer to mate with their levels or a status higher. And women who can provide for themselves economically may feel they have less to gain from marriage. Intelligent persons are also better able to form preferences by analysing what lies behind the scenes in marriage. While single women do have sex, they have no control on its roadmap.
I also believe that a high IQ makes a woman less able to attract men when she wants to do so. Men generally want their partners to be less smart than they are.
So, before you register for any course, check your sex life. Does it prove you have the intellect to manage?”

Erectile dysfunction, or ED for short, is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It can be a total inability to achieve erection; an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. http://www.levitrabliss.com/
Cialis has revolutionized the pharmacy industry. Erectile dysfunction cannot land you in a state of embarrassment any more. Use cialis and get an easier and much harder erection. Refurbish your sex life and enjoy the climax of sexual intercourse. Make you spouse happier by gratifying her sexual urge. http://www.besthealthmed.com/working_of_cialis.html
