A new study, posted in the Journal of Sexual Medicine (I definitely picked the wrong career), has found that how a woman walks can indicate how likely she is to have an orgasm. A bit of info that can come in pretty handy late night at your local watering hole.

Their objective was to was to determine if "appropriately trained sexologists" (can I get an online degree in this?), could infer a woman's history of vaginal orgasm solely from observing how she walks. How these scientists got this approved for funding while keeping a straight face, we'll never know, but thank the PhD gods they did.

The guys in labcoats took a sample of healthy young female Belgian college students, half of whom were vaginally orgasmic - as opposed to those who needed clitoral stimulation or could not orgasm at all - and videotaped them walking. And based on what they saw, those appropriately trained sexologists were able to identify the vaginally orgasmic women 81% of the time. (I really should have studied harder in science class.)

What gave them away? According to the study's conclusion: "The discerning observer may infer women's experience of vaginal orgasm from a gait that comprises fluidity, energy, sensuality, freedom, and absence of both flaccid and locked muscles." Basically, a woman with a longer, relaxed, confident stride and greater hip rotation was more likely to have an orgasm from intercourse.

So next time you meet a girl, don't take her for a drink first. Take her for a walk.
