Today in WTF?!: Educated Women Can't Enjoy Sex

Posted by Emily Farris

 

We're taking this story with a grain of salt because we can't find the actual study to back it up, but we figured we'd share it with you anyway. 

Apparently, educated women have a harder time enjoying sex.


In the study 62 per cent of women who had completed their education said they often had problems achieving orgasm.

Only 38 per cent of women with a lower educational qualification said they had such problems.

The study conducted by a German lifestyle website surveyed over 2,000 women between the ages of 18 and 49. 


Can anyone direct us to this study, or one like it? Until then, we call bullshit. We say, the more you know the further you go.

This contradicts the study going around a few years ago that said educated women enjoy sex more.

Actually there have been several studies showing that the more education a woman has, the more adventurous she is with sex.  There was actually a direct correlation to number of years of post-secondary education (ie number of degrees earned) and number of partners.  That doesn't necessarily denote more enjoyment in sex, but seeking out anonymous (also part of that study) doesn't indicate that educated women *don't* enjoy sex either.
