Ladies, push the Ryan Gosling-type aside, because research proves that fat guys can do wonders for your sex life.
Scientists at Erciyes University in Kayseri, Turkey, found that overweight men last longer during sex.
The researchers studied 200menand evaluated their body mass index (BMI) and sexual performance.

After the yearlong study, findings showed that heavier men with obvious bellies were able to last for an average of 7.3 minutes in bed, while thinner men barely lasted for two minutes, being more likely to suffer from premature ejacul*tion.
The study stated: "As the BMI increased, the number of patients decreased in the premature ejacul*tion group."
So, why is it that overweight men have more stamina during sex?
The answer is simple: Estradiol. Estradiol is a female sex hormone, which inhibits premature ejacul*tion in males. Experts believe men with more fat around their midriff have more estradiol. Estradiol disrupts the activity of “male” neurotransmitters and inhibits their progression towards org*sm.
So put down the weights and grab some pizza. But don’t overdo it, because while being heavier might give you more stamina in bed, it’s also likely to result in a horde of illnesses that affect your long-term health.
The study was published in Nature.
