Which personality type gets the most sex? The answer is in.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s getting the most sex – and who’s enjoying it most – the answer is in.

And it all comes down to a woman’s personality type.

The amount of sex you have, and the satisfaction you feel from it, is inextricably linked to female personality type, new research has found.

Couples with females who scored high on ‘agreeableness’ and ‘openness’ were more likely to have more sex. This (somewhat frustratingly) plays into the stereotype notion that men will initiate sex more frequently than women. It’s the woman’s attitude to this initiation that determines if sex occurs.

Just to clarify, ‘agreeableness’ usually relates to friendliness and optimism, while ‘openness’ refers to characteristics such as imagination, intellect, creativity and a sense of adventure.

The male’s personality had no impact on how often sex occurred, researchers found.

Psychologists out of Florida State University asked 278 heterosexual newly-wed couples to keep a diary of their sex lives, and to take a personality test to determine their “Big Five” personality traits.

The test determine the basic dimensions of an individual’s personality, including extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness and neuroticism, and is widely used.

Most of the newlyweds were aged between their mid-20s to early-30s. They were asked to keep a diary each day, recording if they’d had sex that day and, if so, how satisfying they found it on a seven-point scale.

This lasted 14 days and, on average, couples had sex three or four days out of the two-week period.

When it comes to satisfaction, however, the personality of both parties was influential. ‘Neuroticism’, defined by traits such as depression, moodiness, anxiety, worry and uncertainty, was linked with a lower level of satisfaction for both genders. And high-scores of ‘openness’ in men were also linked with lower levels of satisfaction.

This study highlights the fact that sex – how good it is, how often it happens, and how it’s initiated – is something unique to each and every individual and, therefore, different with every couple.

While several studies have made the link between more sex and happiness in a relationship, there is no ‘golden number’ (in fact, consciously trying to have more sex has been shown to have negative impact upon happiness within the couple).
