Birth order and how it affects your sex life

How does birth order influence your sex life? Just select your birth order from the list below and find out all about your sexual profile.

First-Borns or Only Children: They tend to be predictable in bed. You always know what they are going to do next.

Dr. Leman's advice: 'The skill that makes you good at work is the same basic skill that works against you in your marriage - control-mongering and perfectionism erode relationships rather than build them.'

Middle-Borns
Middles remain somewhat of a mystery, even in bed. They frequently have a difficult time feeling needed and often think of themselves as the least special, which leads to an interesting contradiction - being aggressive and competitive while also avoiding conflict.

Dr. Leman's advice: 'If your middle-child spouse is sexually frustrated, she may not tell you about it. If she wants to try something new, you may never hear her mention it, unless you take the time to draw it out. If you are married to a middle-born, take the time to find out what they like and dislike in bed and what their fantasies are. Middles will rarely tell you what they really want unless you force it out of them.'

Last Borns
The sexual aspect of marriage is of the utmost appeal to the last born. Stereotypically, last-borns like to laugh in bed. They also don't mind scrapping a carefully-arranged plan at the mere glimpse of a bare breast or sexy pecs. When a last-born is in the mood for lurrve, they're unstoppable!

Dr. Leman's advice: 'Because they were the babies in their families, last-borns were probably held and kissed more than the other children and tend to be affectionate by nature. The person who reaches out and touches you on the arm when she is talking to you is likely to be a baby. I am not saying that touching someone is a sexual act - it's not at all. But my point is that babies don't hesitate to make physical contact with other people.'
