A study proves more gut DOES equal more glory in the bedroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hey ladies: take a break from chasing that six-packed Adonis and instead divert your gaze to the oft-overlooked Homer Simpson Doppelganger. You may thank us for it. <\/p>\n While he may not have the most attractive physique upon first glance, the man with the beer belly may turn out to be quite a pleasant surprise in other important ways, if you know what I mean. And anyway, it\u2019s always nice to have a little extra cushion for cuddling, right?<\/p>\n via GIPHY<\/p>\n But are fat men better in bed? Well, a<\/span> study out of Turkey concluded that overweight men with obvious bellies last longer in bed than their thinner counterparts. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Related:<\/strong> Women Reveal The TRUTH About Having Sex With A Fat Man<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These heroic researchers (dedicated to finding answers to life’s big problems) studied the BMI and sexual performance of 100 men seeking help for sexual dysfunctions contrasted against 100 men who reported no problems. <\/p>\n The result? Men with a higher BMI and, yes, unsightly guts, lasted an average of 7.3 minutes where the slimmer of the group could barely hold on for 2 minutes. Ouch, right? A five-minute difference is pretty significant. As in three times as long<\/em> kind of significant. In fact, they found skinnier guys more likely to suffer from premature ejaculation, too. <\/p>\n That\u2019s right, the guy from your gym that you\u2019ve been drooling over for the past six months could actually be way worse in bed than someone much less toned and, well… pudgy. This may come as a bit of a disappointment if you\u2019re looking for a man with defined muscles and athleticism (because hello, he\u2019s hot).<\/p>\n But look at it this way: if you\u2019re having trouble working off the late night ice cream you\u2019ve been snacking on you\u2019ll be in good company. No judgment from your tubby, cuddly man.<\/p>\n via GIPHY<\/p>\n At first blush, this might seem counterintuitive. The penis is often referred to as the dipstick of a man’s health, so wouldn’t those at a healthier weight be able to last longer? Not exactly. Scientists say it’s more complicated than that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Related:<\/strong> Proust! 5 Scientific Ways Drinking Beer Makes You BETTER In Bed<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More belly fat, they say, means the man in question is housing more of the female sex hormone estradiol, which helps to inhibit orgasm. The researchers even went so far as to say that men with less masculine bodies have the upper hand in holding out than a guy who is buff, like, say, a Ryan Reynolds body double. <\/p>\n Sigh.<\/em> This must be yet another one of life’s cruel practical jokes \u2014 and the silver lining if your man’s two biggest hobbies are beer and nachos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A study proves more gut DOES equal more glory in the bedroom.
