Creative Sex

Residents of a city characterized by both a high number of tech companies and a substantial local art scene might be interested to note that a British study found that people working in creative fields get lucky more often. This may or may not compensate for these same people having to listen to more technically-inclined family members brag about their stock options at holiday dinners.

While the finding that say, petroleum engineers get laid less often than rock stars doesn't really shock us, we were a little taken aback by some of the study's findings. Apparently, the average number of sexual partners for a professional artist is 6-10, while the average for civilians is three. We realize that the average person has less than 2 legs, but 3 sexual partners? Either our friends are really slutty or totally full of shit.

The study also found that "the average number of sexual partners increased as creative output went up." We suspect, however, that, increasing the output of crocheted tea coseys or published fan fiction stories might have the opposite effect of staging an exhibit or scoring a nice publishing contract.
