Faster Growing Baby Boys Have More Sex

September 16, 2010 No Comments

We all know that nutrition and growth in childhood affects the rest of people’s lives, but did you know it also affects how much sex men will have?

A Filipino study looked at baby boys and found that those who grew the fastest and were best nourished in the first six months of life would be taller, stronger, and have more sex partners as adults. They are also more likely to reach adolescence earlier.

I think it’s important not to confuse cause and effect here.

It’s also quite likely that the boys who grew the fastest were going to be growing faster anyway and that it’s genetic, not environmental.

They might have reached puberty earlier than their peers, regardless of anything else, and they might have been treated in a more typically masculine way because they looked and behaved that way naturally which then fostered those behaviours.

On the other hand, if you want to make sure your boys stay virgins until they are married and don’t go sleeping around, maybe you could try malnourishment during childhood as a deterrent.
