Are you good at 'reading' people, managing emotions and detecting everyone's moods? Well, congratulations! Because chances are, you're likely to have better orgasms than others.
Forget 'team-building' and 'leadership development', new research has found that a person's EI (emotional intelligence) can also be used to measure how much fun they have in bed.
A study of more than 2000 female twins has found that those who are more in touch with their feelings have twice as many orgasms as the emotionally reserved group.
The term 'emotional intelligence' refers to a person's ability to express and monitor their own feelings as well as that of the others. It appears that those who are more emotionally savvy are also better at communicating our sexual expectations and desires to our partners - thus improving their sex lives.
Andrea Burri, psychologist and lead author of the study, said a woman's EI may also be connected to her ability to fantasise during sex.
"A woman's feeling of control, or the capacity to integrate physical stimulation with fantasy, may be contributors to [the frequency of] orgasms."
Your say: Do you agree that higher EI means better sex?
