Yellow revolution in the Guardian?

This is what GU takes for culture blogging nowadays.

Andrew Dickson. Sex cells

The study found that professional artists and poets have about twice as many sexual partners as those who do not "indulge" in those activities (their word, not mine). Some 425 British men and women were surveyed for the report, which has just been published in well-respected academic journal The Proceedings of the Royal Society. You're after numbers: between four and 10 partners for artists, three for what are rather harshly termed "non-creative types". (Management consultants, to you and me.)

Called upon to explain these headline-hogging findings, Dr Daniel Nettle from the University of Newcastle hedges his bets. "Creative people are often considered to be very attractive and get lots of attention as a result," he says. "They tend to be charismatic and produce art and poetry that grabs people's interest."

lol -- and pigs to boot!

ah we sluts are a rare breed.

...then I'm going to the annual Artist's Holiday Gang-Bang.

Give Piece A Chance is this year's theme.

and it is completely without link, proof, research or any evidence.

Bipolar disorder often results in heightened sexual activity. Bipolar folks, when manic, can be focused and extremely creative.

Any connection, you think?

I get to ask because my family has a long history with bipolar disorder.

But... I'm NOT bi-polar and he alleges I'm more voracious than he is.

I see your point, though, and it's probably valid.

And... I also wanted to brag on this thread about my fantastic sex life! :evilgrin:

:hi: Grannie... How are you today, sweetie?

I won't detail who exactly has it in my family, but I will say that ... um... medication vacations are exciting times for all involved!


And hey to you, too...I'm doin' just fine.

the truth in the article. I've lived in artist communities for much of my life. I've dated, lived with, and married an artist. No complaints at all. I find intelligent, creative people very sexy.


the smell of Linseed oil is quite stimulating.
