It may sound like a joke, but there is a new study that has found that the size of your stomach can decide whether you are good in bed or not. Of course, there are always exceptions, but the fact that a good beer belly would be an advantage in bed over a sixpack, most people would not believe.
Lasts 5 minutes longer
Researchers at Erciye University in Kayseri, Turkey, have done an extensive study on the subject. Principally the correlation between BMI – body mass index – and sexual performance.
The result was something of a shock. It turned out that men with bigger bellies lasted a full five minutes longer in bed than those with narrower and leaner bodies.
Exactly five minutes may not sound like much, but it’s actually a pretty big difference. The study examined 200 men – and found that those with a higher BMI lasted around seven minutes before ejaculation.
Thinner men, on the other hand, only lasted for about two minutes – and were thus more likely to suffer from premature ejaculation. Being able to have sex for a long time is a vital part of being good in bed.
Consume in moderation
One reason men with larger stomachs have better sexual endurance is that researchers largely believe that more belly fat means that you have more of a hormone called estradiol. Which is more common in women, and helps to delay orgasms.
So eat that extra portion, drink that second cold beer under the sun – and be proud of your belly all my chubby friends out there!
Of course, always consume in moderation. Being overweight still not good for your health – but most people already know that.
This study is wonderful since, usually, the ideal image of the perfect man is a subject full of muscles with a stomach of steel. Who knows – maybe we’re finally heading in a different direction?
Please, share this wonderful study with your friends!
