Mo' Money = Mo' Orgasms?

Mo' Money = Mo' Orgasms?

It's official: "Scientists have found that ... the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms."

The quotes from this article are priceless, and surpass any possible commentary I could possibly add:
- Scientists found that the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms. “Women’s orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner,” said Dr Thomas Pollet.
- The study is certain to prove controversial, suggesting that women are inherently programmed to be gold-diggers.
- David Buss, professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin, who raised this question in his book The Evolution of Desire believes female orgasms have several possible purposes. ... “What those orgasms are saying is ‘I'm extremely loyal, so you should invest in me and my children’."
Wow.

I'm not really surprised by the science (here's the abstract of the study). But I'm kinda blown away by the article. What kind of journalist writes that women may be "inherently programmed to be gold-diggers."? Even if that's true, that seems like a dangerous thing to say in mixed company! I'm going to assume that the reporter has no daughters or girlfriends... or alternatively, balls of steel.

But let's put aside the reporting, and move onto the really important question.

Do you think that women are more like to orgasm if their partner is wealthier?

I don't agree at all. It depends on the type of relationship and dedication of both parties. Not wealth!

maybe wealthier men are in their happy state rather than thinking about money while having sex thus, more focused on what they are doing and making their partner orgasm.. .. haha

This is so dumb. Completely unrelated -_-

There may be a corralation, but that does not prove causation.

My husband's a soldier in the Army so it's obvious we're broke as shit, lol, but I orgasm at least twice every time we have sex, which is usually every other day when he's home. I doubt the fact that him becoming a billionare would improve our sex life.

How can they know when you orgasm? Women can totally lie or fake it. Picture says it all.

@ArielInWonderland@xanga - By saying that if he were rich you'd orgasm even more.

I don't doubt that it's possible especially when considering the psychological triggers for attraction in women that go largely unnoticed by the people that they're actually active in. That's like saying that wealth/ power aren't turn ons. Pfft.

@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - There are several tell tale signs of an orgasm. Muscle contraction, leg spasms, and the most reliable of all, blushing all over the body. Do your homework.

@striemmy@xanga - haha i don't think i could even if he were a millionaire. it has to do with connection and technique not how much money he has in his pocket. because if we're going by that little trick then i would be laying there like a fish. and i have a better sex life than many many many of you can hope to achieve...sorry to say. :D

I think this is bull crap haha. It doesn't matter how much money someone makes... if they don't do it right then I won't orgasm.

maybe the women are more comfortable and relaxed due to not worrying about money so much? ...or maybe these women are faking it and don't MIND faking it because of the cash? and those who refuse to fake it are fed up with their broke men in their lives?
@landlockedeyes@xanga - yeah, i remember being in a flame war over at youtube dealing with this story back in early may haha.
