Do Men With Sisters Make Better Lovers Than Men With Brothers?

As published in The River Newspaper

WHEN women start dating, most worry about meeting the boyfriend's parents. Will the mother resent you luring away her darling son? Will the dad have a cardiac arrest when he sees your outfit? But what about his siblings? Should you worry about them too? The answer, apparently, is 'yes'. Not from the angle of whether or not you will gain their approval - but because they could provide vital clues about the future of your relationship. That's because research shows that men with sisters are more considerate towards the 'gentle sex' - than those with brothers. In other words, if you're looking for a loyal, sympathetic mate - one who won't do the dirty on you -you'd better make sure your boyfriend's sibling is called Danielle, not Daniel.

Celebrity psychologist Jo Hemmings

Jo Hemmings, Celebrity psychologist told The River: “Men who grow up in a predominantly female household – where there are more sisters plus mum, than brothers plus dad, tend to have an understandable insight into the way girls mature into women and the blessings and burdens that brings with it.”

Jo, who is also the resident sexpert on ITV’S This Morning, continued: “Encountering PMT for example, or how their sisters respond to emotional issues, offers a natural and regular learning curve into the way women work. So in that sense men who have sisters do tend to make better, as in more sensitive and understanding, boyfriends than those who grew up with brothers only – or as an only child.”

A sample survey by The River revealed that 75 per cent of female students at Kingston had better experiences dating guys with sisters than guys with brothers. The majority added that they were more faithful and sensitive.

“My boyfriend grew up with only brothers and he is the cockiest guy ever,” said Lianne Murphy, 20, a first year criminology student. “He’s had loads of girls and actually cheated on me when he went away on a boys’ holiday a few years ago. He did confess later and was full of remorse so I gave him another chance.”
Lianne’s previous boyfriend grew up with sisters and was completely different. “He was a sweet and sensitive guy who wasn’t cocky at all. He was actually older than me but I was his first. I know he would never have cheated on me but I found him a little clingy – which was irritating.”

Researchers from the psychiatry department at the University of Texas, concluded in their study that men who grew up with sisters are less sexually active adults. They split new-born male rats into three litters: one mixed sex litter, one male-biased litter, and one female-biased litter. Once the male pups grew up they tested their ‘pulling skills’ with new female rats.
The rats brought up with ‘brothers’ wasted no time getting jiggy, but the rats raised with ‘sisters’ were slower at making their move. Although they did, eventually, get lucky.

Interestingly, the females weren’t as attracted to the males raised with sisters - like humans, they couldn’t resist a bad boy. When a female rat gets horny she wiggles her ears, they did this more in the company of the cocky rats raised with brothers.

Professor David Crews, the author of the study, said: “Although such males were less attractive to receptive females and less motivated to mount females, once mounted they were equally as efficient at ejaculating.”
In other words, even though it took them longer to get laid their performance was exactly the same.
Crews believes the rats’ behaviour throughout the study can be applied to humans, adding: "It tells you that in families how many brothers and sisters you have, and the interaction among those individuals, is particularly important in shaping personalities.”

So are we girls (and rodents) cutting off our nose to spite our face by going for dominant alpha men from predominantly male households? Forget about his star sign ladies, it’s all about his siblings!
If he’s one of many brothers run for the hills. On the other hand, don’t we quite enjoy the pursuit and challenge, of hot-blooded males? And wouldn’t life on a quiet, peaceful hillside get a bit boring?
Love rat versus doormat – you decide.
