Sexually Active Students Make the Grade

Students who head to university in search of experience in certain fields outside the classroom may be the ones who ultimately succeed in their studies, according to a German sociologist. Werner Habermehl claims that regular sexual activity can help university students pass their exams and get better results. Habermehl, who is based at the University of Hamburg, said that his research, carried out together with German research institute GEWIS, found that regular sexual activity significantly increased mental capability, but discovered that celibate students found it harder to make the grade. He and his team had tested students before and after sex and found that as well as decreasing the length of time needed to complete a course, students with a healthy sex life also received better marks, said abermehl.

So does sex make you smarter? Mods, this is not a sex thread, but rather about the role of sexuality in life.
