If you’ve got a particularly strong sex drive, there’s a high chance you also have a short and wide face, according to a new study.
Scientists have found that men and women with short and wide faces are more sexually motivated than people with other dimensions.
Men with square faces are not only have a higher sex drive, but they are also more likely to cheat, the research found.
The researchers hope the findings will shed light on the role that facial features play in sexual relationships and mate selection.

THE STUDY
The study involved 314 undergraduate students who were in romantic relationships.
Each student completed a questionnaire about their behaviour, sex drive, sexual orientation, the chances they’d consider cheating, and how comfortable they were with the concept of casual sex.
The researchers also took a picture of each student to analyse their facial width-to-height ratios (FWHR).
The results showed that men and women with a high FWHR – square and wide faces – reported a greater sex drive than others.
Men with a larger FWHR were also more easy-going when it comes to casual sex and would consider being unfaithful to their partners.
Researchers from Nipissing University in Canada looked at how different facial features affect sexual behaviours.
Their research builds upon previous studies that have shown that certain psychological and behavioural traits are associated with particular facial width-to-height ratios (FWHR).
Square-faced men tend to be perceived as more aggressive, more dominant, more unethical, and more attractive as short-term sexual partners than men with thinner and longer faces.
Researchers attributed differences in facial proportions to variations in testosterone levels during particular developmental periods, such as puberty.
This hormone plays a role in forming adult sexual attitudes and desires.
The new study involved 314 undergraduate students who were in romantic relationships.

The study showed that men and women with square and wide faces reported a greater sex drive than others. Men with this head shape are also more easy-going when it comes to casual sex and would consider being unfaithful.

Each student completed a questionnaire about their interpersonal behaviour, sex drive, sexual orientation, the chances they’d consider cheating, and their sociosexual orientation.
This is a measure of how comfortable you are with the concept of casual sex.
The researchers also took a picture of each student to analyse their FWHR.

Men with short and wide faces were found to be more easy-going when it comes to casual sex and would consider being unfaithful to their partners. Pictured is actor, Ashton Kutcher, who allegedly cheated on Demi Moore in 2011
The results showed that men and women with a high FWHR – square and wide faces – reported a greater sex drive than others.
Men with this face shape were also found to be more easy-going when it comes to casual sex and would consider being unfaithful to their partners.
Dr Steven Arnocky, who led the study, said: ‘Together, these findings suggest that facial characteristics might convey important information about human sexual motivations.’
