Turkish sex researchers: "Size" really does matter after all
The more the merrier?
Fat is fun! At least, that’s the word from Turkey this week. Researchers at Erciyes University in Kayseri have just completed a year-long study correlating body mass index (BMI) and male sexual performance. Their findings: men with excess body fat last longer in bed. In fact, heavier men were able to make love for an average of 7.3 minutes, while slender men could count themselves lucky if they held on for a mere 108 seconds.
The reason? Female hormones. Men with excess fat showed higher levels of the female estradiol sex hormone. This substance apparently disrupted their bodies’ natural “male” neurotransmitter chemicals and slowed their progression towards orgasm. Ironically, the less masculine their bodies appeared, the better lovers they proved to be.
The scientists compared the BMI and sexual performance of over 100 men who were being treated for sexual dysfunction with 100 other males who lasted longer during sex. They found that men suffering from premature ejaculation were on the whole thinner and fitter than their “better endowed” brethren.
Using the researchers’ logic, you might think that American men, living in what the World Health Organization has identified as the world’s third fattest country with an estimated 66.7 percent of the population living well over the line, would be the world’s most exquisite lovers. Unfortunately, the study does not take a stand on this issue. Nor is there any scientific or anecdotal evidence to suggest that it is true. In fact, last year the global research website Onepoll.com conducted a survey of 15,000 women from twenty countries on the subject, and Americans showed up fifth from the bottom for being “too rough.” (Spaniards, Brazilians, and Italians took top honors.) But as Benjamin Disraeli supposedly said, “There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.”
This is not to deny that, when it comes to overweight lovers, there may also be an issue of “quality vs. quantity” involved, not to mention esthetic and cardiological issues etc., but why spoil a good story? For now, make sure your next love banquet includes plenty of chips and beer, bratwursts and pecan pies. Nowadays, when it comes to sex, fat is the new thin.

Fat men often have blood flow issues. Nuff said.
You speak from my heart.
Maddie,
Agreed, the study seems pretty limited when it comes to actual sexual performance.
You have got to be freak'in kidding me, right? Seriously?
HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
:~D
I wonder if there might be some alternative strategies available for those of us who are as yet unblessed by additional weight. Hmm...
Rated! For Science!
7 1/2 minutes? (we won't ever go near the 108 sec. :~D) Makes me glad I never wasted my time with a 7 1/2 minute one shot wonder! (at least I wouldn't have wasted MUCH time...)
I guess I should laugh TOO hard. With the right person I might have an orgasm in 7 1/2 minutes, but I would also know that there would be several more coming after that - for both of us.
@ CrazyCzar: What's the matter dude, feeling a little "inadequate"??? Or is it that your envious of those "studs" that could make it all the way to 7 1/2 minutes?
The time stats on these kinds of studies/surveys are always boggling. Many years ago, I mentioned to my boyfriend at the time that I'd just read a stat in an article like this that said the average American man only made love for 2 minutes and he replied, "I can't even get a condom on in 2 minutes."
Not Your typical J. Mandelbaum article, but rated for its arcane nature.

If they're not watching, then the couple have to set the timer and stop it and then report it. You still have the problem if experiment changing the experience --- who wants to interrupt proceedings to set the timer --- plus an issue of accuracy of timing and reporting.
Further, if the control group knew they were part of a study on erectile dysfunction, maybe they were motivated to prove that they weren't dysfunctional --- ie pressure to come sooner.
Lastly, a survey of 15,000 women is meaningless unless you've ensured that each has sampled a decent selection of lovers from more than one country. If not, then all you get is a set of prejudices, gleaned from places like Hollywood. Of course, Latin lovers will come out on top.
