Are intelligence and sex drive correlated?

In my personal experience, I've noticed that more intelligent people have higher sex drives (not necessarily sex frequency) than normal. People with lower sex drives tend to rely on emotions and look at sex from a more sacred/emotional perspective, whatever it might be. People with higher sex drives tend to be more open-minded and original. I may be wrong and I also know a few people who aren't very sexual and are intelligent... however, I'm really curious about a possible correlation.

Because it's improper to talk about sex openly in public, it can be difficult to perceive one's sex drive. It's reasonable to see why someone would hide a high sex drive lmao. But when you're friends with someone, it's easier to see a connection. One thing I notice---the people who aren't afraid to talk about sex tend to be more creative, intelligent, and have authentic personalities. I have a friend who is like this and she's got an amazing mind. I know someone else who is more sexually inhibited, and she rarely thinks outside the box and follows only the rules.

I really wonder if there are any studies to prove a correlation. Lol I'm pretty sure there isn't a concise answer to this because sex is a complex topic to study psychologically... but I'm curious.

  • who is intelligent has always problem with sex

  • I don't think so everybody has sex

    • U can follow me if u want

  • I doubt it.

    I've read that more educated people have less sex, for instance.

    I think that high iq people who are -also- high drive tend to be kinkier.

    But there are lots of bright low drive people.
