Ladies, if you've been putting your hubby on a diet, you may want to rethink that plan. Turns out?

Fat men are better in bed.

Researchers at Erciyes University in Kayseri, Turkey, studied body mass index (BMI) and male sexual performance and discovered that fat men have better staying power than their slimmer counterparts. No joke.

Heavier men have sex for 7.3 minutes on average (what a treat!), while thinner men hold on for ... wait for it ... wait for it ...108 seconds.

Bring on the bacon, baby.

Seriously, this is insane. Do I want my husband to last longer and possibly die while he's inside me, or do I want him to last less than two minutes and never give me what I came for (pun intended)?

A dilemma of the highest magnitude.

Aesthetically, fat men are no great shakes. Sorry Drew Carey. I just can't do it. I love a cut man whose body shows the work he puts in at the gym. I like a man who looks fit and healthy and trim. 

Here in the United States, where so many people (nearly 67 percent, in fact) have an unhealthy body mass, this news must be welcome.

Of course, it also raises the question: Is staying power really what defines "good in bed"? I daresay that definition would be different for every woman, but for me, it has a lot more to do with a combination of confidence, intelligence, and a willingness to explore. To each their own, though.

People who want sex to go long should look for fat guys. Maybe Peter Paul Rubens had the right idea after all. So, let's all get fat and have hours of sex! We may have heart attacks and not live to 35, but at least we'll have tons of good sex first!

What do you make of this study?
