It's Official Sailors make better lovers... NOT Official but True Nevertheless per our very own Sea Knot crew.

But we all knew this anyway ~ As to why ? What do you feel ?

From Yachting World, sent to me by Cruising Compass. For 'study's' conclusions, get a chuckle and read the whole thing or just skip down to the last 2 paragraphs..

It's official: Sailors make better lovers

The Onzin Institute in Amsterdam conducted a four-year study called 'Environmental Effects on the Virility Index', and the results astounded even the program's Director, Dr. Hijgen Krachtig.

While part of a larger project which attempted to measure human sexual drive, ability and potency on a standardized scale, called the Virility Index, the study itself took a group of 2,000 Dutch couples and measured the subject's reaction to several stimuli using a number of sensors, including heat-sensing video cameras, a blood-enzyme monitor, multiple skin and scalp sensors, and something called a "self-calibrating turgidity anchor". The second part of the study measured the couples during actual lovemaking, and then the results of both experiments were collected and cross-referenced with the subject's personal data to provide the results for both individuals, and couples.

People who took part in outdoor leisure activities had far higher scores on the index than those who did not, and those who listed "boating/sailing" among their top three activities scored, on average, nearly double that of any other group. The same thing with occupation: Those whose job was listed as "maritime" scored much higher than those who worked on land.

"We think that it may have something to do with the inner ear, or it may be due to the strengthening of core muscles as the body compensates for the rocking motion found at sea" said Dr. Krachtig. "Although one of my colleagues has suggested that maybe sailors are just better used to making love in uncomfortable environments." A follow-up questionnaire did not find any significant difference between the displacement or type of craft sailed, and the individual's or couple's virility index score, indicating that it is not the size of the boat which makes the difference, but rather the motion of the ocean.

Um ya do know that the "Onzin" Institute means "Nonsense" in Dutch? It was a all a joke, but a good one!!!
Awwwwww....don't burst my balloon!!!! geez...well...some of us know better :-)
Whether written in jest or not I've seen first hand evidence to prove the theory's outlined. I'm sure even the program's Director, Dr. Hijgen Krachtig (Dr. heavy breathing) would agree.

Next you'll be debunking Santa and the Easter Bunny.

just discovered that I was 'punked' by this hoax. They did a good job. So, it's not official, but it sure is true.
