per the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEBC yesterday:
If you are hoping to improve your love life, it may be wise to develop artistic traits, researchers suggest.

The more creative a person is, the more sexual partners they are likely to have, UK investigators have found.

Artists and poets had an average of four to 10 sexual partners, compared to three for non-creative types, Newcastle and Open University teams discovered.

Creative people could be displaying the "positive side" of personality traits seen in schizophrenia, they say.
'Schizotypal' traits


and on the same day, per boing^2, proof positive!:

There's something about an Atari 2600 that makes you feel warm and tingly all over. If you want to bring those feelings to the ultimate climax, follow these instructions to make a vibrator out of your Atari controller.

We found a small, inexpensive and self-contained bullet vibrator that fit perfectly inside the case and whose switch happened to be very compatible with the button on the Atari 2600 controller. With a little wire, solder, and basic materials, you can build one of these units yourself and put even more joy in your joystick.


what a creative hack

Or it could mean that artists are hussies. Most of the artists and poets I know spend a great deal of their time 'researching their novel' in the various ale-houses Brighton has to offer. Does it say whether people who tend to associate with booze and recreational drugs get more action as well?
