Educated women: smart in the classroom, dumb in the bedroom?
I don’t think so.
According to the Frisky, a recent study by a German lifestyle website found that smart women are less likely to enjoy sex than their average-minded counterparts. Based on their findings, 62% of women with university or higher education degrees reported difficulties achieving orgasm, compared with just 34 percent of non-degree holding women. The lifestyle website continues to hypothesize that higher education leads to more responsibility in the workplace, and with that responsibility comes extra stress. And of course women are emotionally incapable of handling stress from anything besides cooking, or ironing, or looking pretty.
As a smart, sexy woman I call B.S. on this study. I’m not sure, exactly, what methods this ‘German lifestyle website’ used in their research, but I’m guessing it isn’t exactly reputable as their findings basically boil down to the scientific version of “Guys don’t make passes on Girls who Don’t Wear Glasses.”
Society loves to tell women that we must choose between being smart or being sexy but let me tell you first hand, you can be both. You don’t have to sacrifice orgasms for your diploma, or trade in success for sex. They are not mutually exclusive!
The Naked Wreck Alert is given to a person or organization that has somehow hindered truth, justice, health, freedom and/or coolness in our world, and is therefore in serious need of therapy, naked or not.
Huh? I may not know much about sex. However, smart, strong, women seem to feature predominately in my wet dreams. It may be a weird confession but my teenage obsession was Silvia Plath. (Yeah I knew she was dead before I was born.) While I don’t mean to pry; Emmy Noether’s theorem is just plain sexy and Marie Curie wasn’t known to be exactly frigid.
I suppose if you only interviewed a subset of insecure and dull men what they value in women you might find they don’t like smart ladies. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if people are mostly interested in people of the same education level as themselves.
