How many people someone has slept with is a personal thing that most don’t want to disclose — unless maybe you’re on a reality TV dating show like Love Island, where they created an entire challenge around the topic.
However, according to a Washington State University study, there is a simple way to determine if a person gets freaky in the sheets often — and it has to do with how much strength they have.
Lead researchers Caroline Smith and Ed Hagen analyzed data from 4,300 US participants. They found that people — both men and women — with upper body strength reportedly have a high number of sexual partners.
It would be assumed that most people hit the gym to get strong and fit — little do they know that it could also be improving their sex lives.
“We found a main effect of strength on mating success proxied by lifetime number of sexual partners and current partnered status, but not past-year number of sexual partners or age at first intercourse,” the study abstract read.
