Why you should care
For Ladies, the width of your hips may play a crucial role in your decision to sleep with someone. That's according to scientists at the University of Leeds, who report that a woman's figure could play a crucial role in her decision to have sex. Specifically, women with wider hips are more likely to hit it and quit it, and to have more sexual partners in general. Less-hippy women, on the other hand, tend to take a more prudent approach to sex.
"Women's hip width has a direct impact on their risk of potentially fatal childbirth-related injury," said Colin Hendrie, an associate professor of human and animal ethology at the University of Leeds who led the study, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
"Women's sexual activity is therefore at least in part influenced by hip width." Thou it's a controversial conclusion. Women with hips wider than 14.2 inches had more sexual partners and one-night stands than those with hips narrower than 12.2 inches.
Hendrie and his colleagues recruited 148 women between 18 and 26 years old from around the University of Leeds and nearby area who'd had sex at least once in their lives.
They measured their hip width - the distance between the upper edges of the iliac crest bones of the pelvis - as well as their hip circumference at the widest point, plus their waist circumference at its narrowest point.
The women also filled out questionnaires about their sexual histories; including how old they were when they lost their virginity and how many sexual partners they'd had in their lifetimes.
Some questions asked about emotionally significant sexual relationships, like "Were you in love with this partner?"
Women with hips wider than 14.2 inches (36 centimeters) had more sexual partners and one-night stands than those with hips narrower than 12.2 inches (31 centimeters).
And women who tooted and booted it in 75 percent of their sexual relationships had hips nearly an inch (2 centimeters) wider than those who had fewer one-and-done encounters.
Their less-curvy counterparts "really only had sex with people in the context of relationships, demonstrating a more cautious sexual strategy," Hendrie said.
The study is suggestive. Earlier research has shown that a woman's waist-to-hip ratio correlates with her attractiveness - playing a major role in influencing the number and quality of men available to her for sex.
But hip width may factor more into her decision to actually sleep with them. "This study is not reflecting what men find attractive," Hendrie said. "It's about women being in charge of their own destinies, where they can control their own sexual behavior."
