Write Poems, Get Lucky

According to a news item from Nature.com, "Creative people have more sexual partners than the rest of us." A pair of British psychologists surveyed 425 professional poets and artists, amateurs, and regular people and discovered that "active artists had had an average of five or six sexual partners; those without artistic ambitions had had nearer four."

That's the good news.

The bad news is poets and artists seem to share this trait of sexual success with schizophrenics. Oh . . . and the other piece of bad news is that a person has to be a successful poet or artist to experience this effect. Just going to your room and scribbling won't do.
