Are some people wired to have more sex than others?

Unable to figure out why you can’t get to bed with her after several attempts while your closest friend is never short of offers? Your brain is simply not wired for sex.

According to a fascinating research, some people are actually wired to have more sex – or at least be really, really motivated to hook up.

“Some people’s brains are simply more sensitive to sexual cues than others – which means it takes less to get them aroused and ultimately leads them to find sexual partners,” explained Nicole Prause, an assistant research scientist in psychiatry at University of California Los Angeles.

To prove their point, Prause and her team recruited psychology students to get an electroencephalogram (EEG) of their brains and to view 225 standardised pictures of pleasant, neutral or unpleasant things.

The pleasant images included sexually stimulating ones like explicit pictures of peoplehaving sex.

The students were also asked about their number of sexual partners in the past year.
