Muscular, fit or simply thin bodies are more popular in society, being reasons for desire and greed. However, people kill themselves in gyms by “pushing iron”, undergoing aesthetic treatments, stomach reduction surgeries and even anabolic steroids. “Perfect” image, however, is far from meaning good sexual performance. At least that's what a study carried out by the University of Erciyes, in Türkiye, pointed out. According to researchers, chubby men tend to suffer less from premature ejaculation compared to those with athletic bodies, and they tend to last up to four times longer than those who are “in shape”. For scholars, the reason for this discrepant difference is because overweight people have a greater presence of the hormone estradiol, typically female, in their body. Estradiol messes with a man's internal chemical balance and makes it take longer for him to cum. Among the men studied, those with a normal body mass index (BMI) lasted, on average, 1,8 minutes before ejaculating. Those with a BMI above the ideal were able to maintain themselves for up to 7,3 minutes, on average.
