[/p>[p>These women were better able to monitor their own and others' feelings and emotions, which is key, say the King's College London investigators. [/p>[p>Their findings appear in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

[/p>[p>The research found a significant association between emotional intelligence and the frequency of orgasm during masturbation and intercourse. [/p>[p>Professor Tim Spector, director of the Twin Research Department at King's College London and co-author of the study, said: "These findings show that emotional intelligence is an advantage in many aspects of your life including the bedroom. [/p>[p>"This study will help enormously in the development of behavioural and cognitive therapies to improve women's sexual lives." [/p>[p>[b>In tune[/b>[/p>[p>Up to a third of women find it difficult or impossible to reach a climax during sex. [/p>[p>Lead author Andrea Burri said: "Emotional intelligence seems to have a direct impact on women's sexual functioning by influencing her ability to communicate her sexual expectations and desires to her partner." [/p>[p>She added that there was a possible connection with a woman's ability to fantasise during sex or her feeling of control over the act. [/p>[p>Paula Hall, a sexual psychotherapist for Relate, said: "Emotional intelligence is most important in terms of overcoming problems. [/p>[p>"Most women, and men for that matter, will have this problem at some stage in their life. It's often situational - you are tired or stressed or having relationship problems, for example. [/p>[p>"It's not just about technique and the environment being right. [/p>[p>"If you are aware of your own emotions and can identify the issues and communicate them, you are more likely to be able to resolve the difficulty." [/p>[div style="display: none">[a
