Fat is fun! At least, that's the word from Turkey this week. Researchers at Erciyes University in Kayseri have just completed a yearlong 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 20 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 aesthetic 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.

Of course they last longer in bed....they aint got to do nothing but lay there.

Skinny guys only last 108 seconds?! That's a damn lie!

Some nights I go at least 150-180 seconds.

is there a scientific study on whether big girls are a better shag?

Actually there is some truth in my own experience, even. When I am in super fit shape, my body is more responsive. And the more out of shape I am, the less sex is immediately stimulating to me. We all know alcohol makes it harder for guys to perform.

I think exercise/health improves the body's response to stimulation, for better and for worse.

i'm fascinated by the "studies"

of modern society

forget world hunger, those skinny folk won't fuck long anyway

green house gases? what a joke

renewable energy? that shit isn't important

now is it?

what matters most is how long it takes a fat boy

to spill his seed

hug your children tight tonite

and know their world has

just become a tad safer

I think they stay longer in bed too.

Might have also something to do with blood circulation in general. I'm feeling a bit too lazy to actually read the study, but it doesn't really surprise me as I've been able to make the same observations as my weight has gone up and down.

my next door neighbour (we dont really get on) said the other day, "dude, why r u getting so fat?"

i said "cause every time i go and fuck ur wife while ur at work she bakes me a cookie"

never been with a fat guy, just a husky one (and he's not really even husky anyway)

but it seems to vary wildly even amongst skinny ones
