I'LL HAVE WHAT SHE'S HAVING: How you strut your stuff may reveal more than you'd like
IF you wiggle when you walk, watch out. It can tell a lot about your sex life.
Scientists have found they can gauge how likely a woman is to experience an orgasm during sex, just by watching the way she walks.
The length of your stride and the flexibility of your spine are give-aways to whether or not you have easy orgasms.
Trained sexologists were 80pc accurate in a study of female university students when they watched video-tapes of the women walking.
The tapes were rates by two professors of sexology and two research assistants trained in the functional-sexological approach to sexology.
Students who took part completed a questionnaire on their sexual behaviour and then agreed to be videotaped from a distance while walking in a public place.
The results showed that the appropriately trained sexologists were able to accurately tell how easily a woman reached orgasm in eight out of 10 cases.
Further analysis revealed that the length of their stride and spinal flexibility was greater in the "vaginally orgasmic women".
"This could reflect the free, unblocked energetic flow from the legs through the pelvis to the spine," say the authors.
The study in the current Journal of Sexual Medicine, was carried out by the University of West Scotland in collaboration with colleagues in Belgium.
The authors concluded that the results provided some support for assumptions that there is a link between muscle block and sexual function.
They hope the results could help to treat sexual dysfunction by incorporating the information into movement and breathing training for the condition.
