Do beautiful people have better/more sex?

By Bat Sheva Marcus, LMSW, MPH, PhD on June 23, 2008

No.

I wish I had the guts to end the post there. Because frankly that says it all. But alas, I feel compelled to spout more wisdom. No study has suggested that being better looking in any way gets you more sex…or makes you want it more. And from my anecdotal experience with patients I can tell you that many average looking people are having great sex. Many “beautiful” ones are not. It seem to correlate much more with general sex drive and confidence!!!
