Are You Too Smart for Good Sex?

New study finds that the more intelligent you are, the worse your sex life will be.

Are brainy Moms too busy thinking to have good sex? According to a German survey, the more educated a woman is, the less likely it is that she will be satisfied in bed. In the study, 62% of women who had completed college said they often had problems achieving orgasm. Only 38% of less educated women said it was hard to hit the big O.

Smart Moms, here are momlogic's top 3 ways to turn off your overthinking brain in the bedroom:

- Roleplay: When you pretend to be someone else such as a secretary or French maid, it's easier to tune out nagging thoughts about your to-do list.

- Music: When you create a "sexual soundtrack," it can help focus your thoughts on desire instead of distractions.

- Fantasize: Thinking about Brad Pitt, George Clooney, or David Beckham can pump up your desire and push less sexy thoughts (laundry, bills, homework) out of your mind.

Are there any smart Mamas out there having mind-blowing sex?

C’mon. This is silly. You want good sex? You love your partner? These percentages cannot be accurate. Sex is usually the way you both want it if you have been together for some time. You are usually in tune. This article breathes of one of the most untrue beliefs that partners never communicate. If these percentages are indeed true then I would have to say that I feel very,very sorry for us as women. You cannot ask for an orgasm?! You think that he would not want to give you a real one? If you don’t know what it would take…experiment by yourself and then teach him!

I agree with this! As a mom who has a very hard time “getting out of my own head” it is hard for me to get into sex. This makes total sense to me. Halley, sorry, but not everyone is having as good of sex as you are apparently!

I don’t agree with this one. I think every woman has stuff on her mind that its hard to drop, whether you are very intelligent or not. You just have to be able to let it go long enough to have a good time. Because think about it..a mom that has 5 kids, 10 loads of laundry waiting, a sinkful of dishes, grocery shopping, and homework to help with probably is going to have a harder time getting into it than say a corporate exec without kids that is done with work for the week.

Sometimes when you overthink things, they just aren’t as good because you’re not in the moment. I can relate.

I didn’t realize how lucky I was. Somehow I’ve never had a problem getting “out of my head”. I’ll have to show my husband how appreciative I am tonight!

Well, I must be one of the “lucky” ones. I am in my 30’s, have a gifted IQ, a tertiary diploma and very demanding job, have been together with my husband for 17 years (married 10, and incidentally he was the first and only), have 2 VERY busy boys aged 7 and 3, and am NEVER too tired or busy for a good round!!!!! Get out of my head?? - when the goodies arrive it’s a case of “What Head!!!” Why should I fantasize about other men - I just have to open my eyes - and, yes, he is tall, dark and extremely handsome!!
