Atheist women get laid less!

"Spirituality often involves looking inward. But it can generate a feeling of connectedness in more ways than you might have imagined. A study in September found that women who rank high on a test for spirituality, particularly connectedness, are more likely to have more sex with more partners. Men who thought of themselves as spiritual were not similarly promiscuous, however."

This comes from Live Science. It looks like you atheist girls are not getting pronged as often as your religious sisters. Life ain't fair!!

There is a simple explanation:

Religious women scream, "Oh God!" when they're having sex.
Atheist women scream, "Absolutely nothing!" which is rather confusing for their partner.

This joke is unusual for that fact that it doesn't work without the punctuation.

I have stopped using the old "Oh God!" expression and switched to "Yes!" and various sexual curses that cannot be written within the rules of this blog. Oh man... I started thinking about stuff and I am stuck in the office!

I think the issue is that they don't plan to have sex but at some point they can't deny nature. Rather like the saying... "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission"... because god will never respond!!!

As I put it in a previous post - if you're having sex with a guy named Dave and you yell "Oh, Frank!" - he's liable to get pretty pissed. But, even if he is an atheist and knows you are kidding, telling him you were calling HIM god will, nevertheless, be well received.

Brilliant!
I'm nicking that one for later use.

"Oh Goddess" might be more convincing.

If you're a hetero guy or a lesbian -"oh goddess" would be correct. (Unless you are a narcissistic hetero guy....)

Whereas bisexuals are free to yell anything they please.

I had a 'bisexual' girlfriend - she thought that was a weird label. She said she was either 'ambisexual' or just plain 'sexual'. As far as she knew, she herself, could offer only sex with a female.

Quality is always better than quantity unless you're getting quantity from the quality.

If you read the actual article's abstract, you'll see that the results apply to "young adult women" (I am guessing that means something like 18-24?) -- not the most discriminating age for either sex. Also, the study was also done by a self-reporting survey (meaning the respondent's could put anything down), and hierarchical regression was used so they had to drill a bit to get to their results. Wouldn't take this too seriously.
