• Abstract:

  This study explores the relationship between high Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and frequency of sexual activity, addressing how gifted individuals experience and perceive their sexuality. Using a sample of 15 gifted participants, the study employs structured questionnaires to collect data on various dimensions of sexual behavior, including frequency of masturbation, sexual activity with partners, and sexual satisfaction. The results indicate that the frequency of masturbation is relatively high, while sexual activity with partners varies more significantly. In addition, most participants reported multiple sexual partners and a positive perception of their sex lives. The study also suggests that characteristics associated with high IQ, such as greater curiosity and openness to new experiences, may influence sexual behaviors and attitudes. These findings point to the complexity of the interaction between cognitive abilities and sexuality, highlighting the need to consider the psychological and emotional specificities of gifted individuals in educational and therapeutic contexts.
