Do Brainy Men Make Better Lovers?

Nerds are rarely common-or-garden attractive, they nearly always have icky little beards, unconventional personal hygience theories and their umbilicals plugged 24 hours into their PC, but does all that time spent theorising, analysing, and comparing make them more THOUGHTFUL and PERFECTIONIST in bed? After all, some men are just trying to please their ego when being selfless to their woman in bed - extra-curriculars if you see what I'm getting at! -"Oh look what a fabulous Lover I am I know how to please my woman", etc. whereas a more thoughtful person such as a Nerd has scientifically weighed up all the best avenues to achieve pleasure in the most efficient way, therefore enjoyment as an end result of this experiment should be paramount.

I've dated a few brainiacs, the brainier they are, the better in bed.

Anyone agree? !

The brainiest men I've been with with were also pretty ugly. They sure did work hard at it, though

LouIsOnAHighwayToHell · 27/03/2010 07:55

I definately have to agree. Best ever has been with an accountant who kept a comb in his top pocket and an IT guy who had his whole house on remote control.

thisisnotwhoyouthink · 27/03/2010 08:03

Yes! My hubby is incredibly intelligent..and he rocks in bed

(he is also incredibly sexy!!)

weegiemum · 27/03/2010 08:06

My dh is both good looking and very very clever (scarily so actually).

And he's brilliant in bed!

DemonChild · 27/03/2010 10:58

Hell yeah! My DP is such a geek and is fantastic in bed!

But he is hot as well and actually quite into washing (more so than me )

Kiwinyc · 27/03/2010 19:37

I don't know, i've never had sex with a guy that wasn't very intelligent...! They were all v. passable looking too. My DH is probably the most intelligent man I've ever met and yes he is great at giving me pleasure but he's also v. conservative in bed.

Sometimes I imagine what uninhibited blue collar sex would be like...?

BertieBotts · 27/03/2010 19:39

But thoughtfulness and ego has nothing to do with intelligence... I agree a thoughtful man is better than an egotistical one though!

Earthstar · 27/03/2010 19:43

I think size is more of a factor than intelligence tbh

FalafelAtYourFeet · 27/03/2010 19:50

Are they just more grateful?

CaptainPicardsPineapple · 27/03/2010 19:56

A man needs a good grasp of anatomy to be any good in bed IMO. He could be completely clueless in all other areas of life but if he has a good idea of where everything is and what to do with it then it's all good.

eatsshootsleaves · 27/03/2010 20:01

DH is exceptionally clever (and geeky!) and handsome so intelligence and attractiveness are not negatively correlated.

I have no complaints about his abilities in that department either.

overmydeadbody · 27/03/2010 20:07

I agree with Bertia.

overmydeadbody · 27/03/2010 20:10

At the end of the day, experience is what makes men better lovers, and I guess part of that is actualy remembering what they have been taught, so the more inteigent ones are more ikey to remember what they have been taught?

lowenergylightbulb · 27/03/2010 20:28

My DP is a total nerd. He has the beard and is an avid cardigan wearer.

In bed he's fantastic. 11/10. Red hot.

I'm a happy woman!!

expatinscotland · 27/03/2010 20:30

Not necessarily.

I went out with this one guy, he was a really good climber and HOT, but dumb as a box of rocks.

He was magic in bed!

cyb · 27/03/2010 20:31

confidence over intelligence

By far the best I've had was with a very intelligent guy.

However, I have also had crap with another intelligent guy.

IMO, the worst are arrogant ones. Think they are so great they don't have to do anything!

BigGitDad · 27/03/2010 20:37

Hmmm, I'm wondering of the more brainier a woman the better in bed she is?

SethStarkaddersMum · 27/03/2010 20:48

yes I've shagged the second to top Maths Firsts at both Oxford and Cambridge and they were both good.

HerBeatitude · 27/03/2010 20:49

Nah

Best fuck I ever had was so thick he makes Alex Kate Price's boyf look clever.

But my he was clever in bed.

SethStarkaddersMum · 27/03/2010 20:50

I wonder if this guy is open to offers.

cyb · 27/03/2010 20:53

Magnus Pike was crap in the sack

BigGitDad · 27/03/2010 21:04

Surely Bamber Gasgoine would be right up there. (In more ways than one!)
