What your lips show about your sex life

Do you have the flat-lipped smile of Julia Roberts or the curvy pout of Sophie Dahl?

A recent study by the University of the West of Scotland found that women with a prominent, sharply raised tubercle on their top lip - commonly known as a Cupid’s bow - are 12 times more likely to reach orgasm through sex alone.

Lucky Sophie.

For the study, 258 women aged between 18 and 35 were asked to describe their lip shape and sexual habits.

Ninety-five percent of those with a well-defined tubercle said they could reach orgasm via sexual intercourse alone, but only 60 percent of those with a less well-defined tubercle were able to boast the same.

Still, those of us lacking in the tubercle department shouldn’t be too downhearted, since the same study also found that lip shape had no influence on a woman’s ability to orgasm via other methods.

If you’re already having orgasms through sex alone, then great, says Paula Hall, sex therapist with Relate.

But what really matters within a fulfilling sex life is trust, openness and communication.

And if that does’t work? Well, there’s always lip liner... - Daily Mail
