Love these inane studies since they make such interesting reads. And nine times out of 10, the result is obvious.

A study has revealed that an understanding male partner, who can communicate and listen well, is more likely to give his female partner an orgasm.

The US study, which is the first to find a solid relationship between mental well-being and sexual pleasure, looked at three qualities, self-esteem, autonomy and empathy.

These were compared to three measures of sexual pleasure: regularity of orgasm, enjoyment of receiving oral sex and enjoyment of performing oral sex.

The team from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that sexual enjoyment in women was consistently linked to an empathetic male partner.
