Intelligent Men less likely to Have Erectile Dysfunction, Study Finds

It might appear a little convenient coming from a group of highly educated researchers.

But scientists now say that geeks make better romantic partners than any muscle-bound meathead.

In a new study, scientists from Oakland University claim that smart males have much better relationship outcomes and are less most likely to be abusive towards their partners.

And, in excellent news for nerds, the researchers even claim that smarter males are less most likely to struggle with erectile dysfunction.

The researchers tested the intelligence of men in heterosexual relationships and after that surveyed them for a series of various positive or unfavorable relationship characteristics.

They discovered that cognitive skills which support impulse control, analytical, and thinking about repercussions all contribute to much healthier relationships.

On the other hand, guys with lower intelligence are more susceptible to insulting their partners, sexual coercion, managing behaviour, and erectile dysfunction.

Most worryingly, the data suggests that guys with lower basic intelligence are most likely to have psychopathic tendencies.

Higher levels of intelligence are related to a variety of favorable results varying from greater average income to increased life span.

Additionally, more current research study has revealed that some particular cognitive skills like problem-solving aid partners navigate prospective difficulties within their relationships.

However, Dr Gavin Vance and his colleagues at Oakland University claim that there has been much less research study into how basic intelligence affects relationship outcomes.

General intelligence, unlike your academic level or specific abilities, refers to a blended set of including working memory, spatial reasoning, and quantitative reasoning.

To find out more, the scientists recruited 202 men who had actually remained in heterosexual relationships for a minimum of six months.

The males were designated a series of tasks to check their analytical and abstract thinking capabilities.

They were then provided questionnaires to measure aspects of their relationships varying from the frequency of negative behaviours to relationship investment and fulfillment.

These tests revealed that general intelligence was substantially related to more favorable behaviours and less negative behaviours in romantic relationships.

The research study found that men who scored badly on tests for general intelligence were more most likely to experience erectile dysfunction and to show negative behaviour towards their partner (stock image)
