We seem to recall a study like this popping up about a year ago, but we're happy to repeat it: intelligent women have better sex.
Apparently, women who have high levels of "emotional intelligence," or the ability to express their own feelings and read others', have more fulfilling sex lives.
[Researcher Tim Spector, of King's College London] quizzed more than 2,000 female twins, aged between 18 and 83, about their sex lives.
The women were asked to rate their ability to reach orgasm on a seven-point scale, ranging from 'never' to always'.
They also filled in a questionnaire designed to gauge their emotional intelligence and covering traits like self-expression, empathy and contentment.
Those most in touch with their feelings also had the most orgasms, the Journal of Sexual Medicine reports.
Lead author, psychologist Andrea Burri, also of King's College, said: 'Emotional intelligence seems to have a direct impact on women's sexual functioning by influencing her ability to communicate her sexual expectations and desires to her partner.'
Perhaps this is also because we know that it is not hellfire that makes us burn in between our legs?
