Creativity linked to sexual success

4-10 partners? (I am SUCH a slut!)

A salmon has more sex partners in a day than Pablo Picasso had in his lifetime, and so far the number of legendary lovers who were salmon is the same as the number of famous artists who were large-mouthed bass: 3.

Creativity might help someone attract more sex partners, but that doesn't mean the person was creative as a lover.

I had a co-worker who complained about his unsatisfying sex life, for which he blamed his wife and women in general, most of whom are sexually lazy, unimaginative or just plain frigid. Under the criteria of this study, he'd qualify as a sexual success because he had a lot of partners. Whenever he joined the office gang for lunch, he ordered the same thing: a turkey sandwich on whole wheat toast with tomato and mayonnaise. If the restaurant didn't have a turkey sandwich, he'd eat nothing, and pout. Why his sex life was less than thrilling remains a mystery.

Creativity is definitely a factor in sustaining sexual excitement in a relationship, but serial lovers don't have to excite a partner more than once. Isn't the amount of sexual excitement in someone's life, with one partner or a thousand, the real measure of sexual success?

I guess the buffet didn't do much for him, eh?

They use their Creativity to GET sex.

Not creative, BECAUSE of sex.

Dopey women fall for that crap too much! "oooo! he's an ARTIST!"
"He is sooooo misunderstood" (he's a loon!)
"he's so sensitive!" (a cry baby)
balh blah blah

they HAVE twice as many partners, because they can't KEEP a partner...because they are so screwed up... unstable...self centered

I think I'll be an artist/poet!

There's some correlation between manic depression and creativity.
My writer father was a manic depressive, and in his manic phase, could charm the panties off women (and probably did, I imagine) . I suffer from it, thankfully, only mildly. And the bleakness of the depression tends to outweigh the rush you get during the manic phase.

It occurs to me that we've kind of ignored something interesting about the wording of this claim.

sexual success...
To me, that's an odd way of looking at it, almost as if the writers were going back to the fifties or so,when it was thought that a man or woman could win the "war between the sexes"
It seems to me, and someone has already said this (don't wanna go back and find it) , that creative types experiment. They may be more likely to experiment sexually than non-creatives, in whatever direction it takes them.

Successfully- that's a non-creative way of seeing things. Who is deciding what the success is?

During the 80's I mourned one great, creative artist after another, when sexual success turned into the terminal nightmare of AIDS. I don't remember that anyone said "Im succcessful sexually!" they did say "I want to try everything!"


... I think I'm getting inchoherant now... I'll stop, shall I?

Subman, check out "Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament" by Kay Redfield Jamison. I read it (that plus another book by her on bipolarity) years ago when writing a paper on Byron. Excellent. She's a fine writer, a psychiatrist and bipolar to boot. P.

It's legal, but it produces some weird-looking offspring.
