Comments on: Male body symmmetry, more female orgasms

An open relationship? Maybe talk with your partner about getting her big O with a more attractive (i.e: symmetrical) short term partner? Communications goes a long way.

My theory is that symmetry from a heterosexual female’s point of view is a subconscious decision that is a mix of primal thought processes and pheromone detection. They go hand in hand. Another study said that the sexual dimorphism in male’s chins is the only facial denominator when it comes to sexual attraction. Facial symmetry only determines the friendliness factor and does not influence females sexually. If body symmetry is a factor of mental and immune system health then the pheromone signal would be a good means to detect errors in addition to obvious physical defects.

tl;dr
Sex potential = how dominant male face is (chin) and how ideal the immune system signal (pheromones) is

I’ve been told that I’m attractive by many people, so maybe I shouldn’t worry so much.

So you’re saying my partner can only be satisfied if she fantasizes about someone else during sex? How is that supposed to make me feel better?

@Tom Michael

Of course it applies to you, why wouldn’t it? :/

@Matthew

If you lack body symmetry and cannot sexually satisfy your partner due to it, you could always try sexual therapy for couples. Maybe your partner can learn to imagine herself (or himself) why someone with higher body symmetry? Don’t despair I’m sure there are plenty of “unattractive” (low symmetry) couples that can have a healty sexuality. Otherwise, everyone would look like a model which is clearly not the case, heh. Just check your local Walmart

How can a man measure his symmetry? If he discovers his symmetry is not high enough, what is he supposed to do if his female partner is not satisfied with him for reasons he cannot control?

This is one of those studies that people inevitably read and then think, I wonder if that applies to me?
I’d like to point out that, although this study is most likely accurate and has been carefully controlled, there are many, many different factors which affect female pleasure and orgasm other than symmetry (e.g. hormonal cycle, menopause, depression, anti-depressant use, alcohol (yes! get her drunk..) security in relationship etc..)
Also, it is unlikely that many males have had sexual encounters with enough women personally to have a statistically significant sample (those who have had at least 30+ are very lucky! even then I bet they never did their stats properly).
This means that most of us base our experiences of relationships on an Availability Heuristic. So if your partner is not getting as much pleasure as you or she would like, try exploring alternatives, and don’t immediately think that you are not symmetrical enough…..

This is an example where the word “authority” has full sense.The authors of the study are the top-world authorities in face research and i believe whatever they say.
But according to their work too, symmetry is just one feature from the many present in the multimodal trasmitting device relevant for social intercourse that is the face. Other traits are secondary sexual characteritics and the physical conditions of both the observer of the face and the person with the concrete face, ussually disociable from symmetry.
