Emotional Intelligence = Greater Sex

Came across this article, which makes a lot of sense when it comes to women with a low sex drive. Women with higher levels of emotional intelligence appear to experience greater sexual satisfaction, according to research.

The study, conducted by the Twin Research Department at King’s College London, suggests that greater emotional intelligence (the ability to monitor and manage feelings and emotions in one’s self and others) is linked to higher numbers of orgasms.

The findings suggest that low emotional intelligence is a risk factor for female orgasmic disorder, one of the most common sexual problems suffered by women – where up to 30 percent of women find it difficult or impossible to reach a climax during sex.

Professor Tim Spector, director of the Twin Research Department, 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 behavioral and cognitive therapies to improve women’s sexual lives.

Andrea Burri, a Psychologist and lead author of the King’s study, said:

"Emotional intelligence seems to have a direct impact on women’s sexual functioning by influencing her ability to communicate her sexual expectations and desires to her partner".

"Ms Burri continued that there was a possible connection with a woman’s ability to fantasise during sex."

"Emotional intelligence seems to have a direct impact on women’s sexual functioning by influencing her ability to communicate her sexual expectations and desires to her partner."

So to the women who ever wondered if they have a issue when it comes to sex, I hope this helps you try to figure it out. This is why it is important to love yourself! Without loving yourself and knowing what truly makes you happy, sex can be just another "Thing" that becomes a must do on your relationship list. You begin to do it, because you feel like you have too, rather then do it because you want too. Once you truly find find enjoyment in sex, you MUST find happiness within yourself.
