“Researchers in the US found that women who were overweight were more likely to report ever having sexual intercourse with a man, but apart from that women’s sexual behavior did not vary by body mass index… researchers looked at the links between body mass index and a number of sexual behavior measures, including orientation, age at first intercourse, ever having had sex with a male partner, the number of partners and frequency of intercourse. The sexual behavior was categorized by body mass index (BMI) groups: Normal (under 25 kg/m2), overweight (25 to 30 mg/m2) and obese (over 30 kg/m2). The results showed that: BMI was not significantly linked to sexual orientation, age at first intercourse, frequency of heterosexual intercourse, and the number of lifetime or current male partners; Overweight and obese women were more likely to report ever having had sexual intercourse with a male partner… The authors concluded that: ‘With the exception of ever engaging in sexual intercourse with a man, sexual behavior differs little between women of different body mass indices.’ Lead author Dr Bliss Kaneshiro an assistant professor at the University of Hawaii told the press that: ‘These results were unexpected and we don’t really know why this is the case.’” — Medical News Today (US)

Here is the abstract for the original research article (which you can purchase, if you care to). The report’s conclusion, a surprising result, makes it difficult whether to say there is really a correlation between BMI and sexual behavior or between BMI and volubility. In other words, are larger women more likely to have sex with a man? Or are they simply more likely to talk about it? Are big women bigger sluts? Or do they just have bigger mouths?

Interestingly, this result seems to be part of a larger “thin backlash.” There are still plenty of models with waists the size of an ice pick, but women — and, more influentially, advertisers — seem to be fixating less on thinness. Another team of researchers in the news has written a report showing that thin models actually discourage product sales. These scientists “found that images of super-thin models carry no edge in encouraging young women to buy and for the majority of adult women ads showing skinny girls actually discouraged sales. So-called plus-size models, on the other hand, actually encouraged them to buy.” Reasons for this range from the fact that most people simply aren’t ultra-thin to the possibility, suggested by some studies, that larger women are actually more fertile. Curiously enough, it makes you wonder if feederism, in which a fetishist encourages the morbid obesity of his partner, isn’t a sort of overcorrective reaction to what may be the perversion that has been lying in plain sight — thinness.
