London, Your
hip reveals a lot than you may imagine - even your sexual preferences!According to a
fascinating research, women who are more inclined to have one-night stands
usually have wider hips.
Overall, women in
this study with hips wider than 36 centimetres (14.2 inches) had more sexual
partners and more one-night stands than women with hips under 31 centimetres
(12.2 inches) wide."Our results
show that the number of sexual partners a woman had is largely driven by
one-night stand behaviour. This, in turn, correlates with a woman’s hip width
and not waist-to-hip ratio,” explained lead author Colin A. Hendrie from
University of Leeds.
The study into
whether hip width or waist-to-hip ratio was a better predictor of a woman’s
sexual behaviour was conducted among 148 British women between 18 and 26 years
old.To reach this
conclusion, the researchers measured hip width - defined as the distance
between the upper outer edges of the iliac crest bones of the pelvis - as well
hip circumference at the widest point and waist circumference at its narrowest
point.Participants also
completed a questionnaire about their sexual histories, including the age at
which they lost their virginity and the number of sexual partners they had.“More specifically,
the women for whom one-night stands accounted for three out of every four of
their sexual relationships had hips at least two centimetres (0.8 inches) wider
than their counterparts in whose lives such fleeting relationships were not as
prevalent,” Hendrie emphasised.Women's hip width
has a direct impact on their risk of potentially fatal childbirth-related
injury.“It seems that when
women have control over their own sexual activity, this risk is reflected in
their behaviour. Women’s sexual activity is, therefore, at least in part
influenced by hip width,” said Hendrie.
