PR Puffs: Musicians have better sex, says poll
Why a fast fret hand is a win win
PLAYING a musical instrument can supercharge your sex life, it says here.
A report by Warrington-based Dawsons Music, which has shops in Liverpool and many other places, found that "playing an instrument can make you more attractive, a better parent, more employable and even a better lover".
The independent survey, of 1,000 UK residents, looked into the wider effects and benefits of playing a musical instrument.
Highlights of the findings include;
The majority of those questioned found musicians more attractive than non-musicians
A third believed playing an instrument improved your career prospects
Nearly a third believe playing makes you a better lover
Nearly three-quarters wished they had spent more time learning to play when they were young
Mark Taylor, managing director of Dawsons, which sells musical instruments, said: “As musicians we know the benefits of being able to play go far beyond impressing people. Musicians are more creative, better at solving problems and, as this report confirms, more attractive to a potential partner.
”Spending just half an hour playing, once or twice a week, can have a hugely positive impact on your wellbeing, and could inspire you to look at other parts of your life where you could make changes for the better.”

Fret work is for conformist old men. The Alpenhorn is what gets the ladies...
Never mind the ladies, I've always had a Crush on a piano player called Bobby,
There's many a good tune played on an old violin........So I'm led to believe........I speak as one who played the comb.............aspired to the spoons.......story of my life, it was never musical.
I can remember a time in Baton rouge when "Our Monica was blowing Sad while our Bobby sang the blues."
"Anyone can make mistakes," said the bagpipes climbing off the octopus
Talking of bagpipes remind me of a throw away line from The Big Yin. A line you never hear "She's the one who's Sh###ing the banjo player"
That's torn it, there's going to be a queue to join the Salvation Army.
That's not the Duchess of Argyle on that Joanna is it ?
Don't know.....but it looks like the Monocled Mutton Ear tickling the ivories.
If playing an instrument makes you a better lover, do drummers suffer erection problems?
Gene Krupa, fine trouper, no drooper.
Keith Moon, complete loon, held it up with a spoon.
The only problem I had with erectile dysfunction was spelling it, I couldn't spell for tofie.
"BIDDY RICH Gene Krupa, fine trouper, no drooper." And how would you know this exactly?
Sorry about that I got lost on another page.......How would I know?..........Dizzy just told me in the corridor.
I just nipped in next door........ there was a hell of a barney going on..........So I thought I'd beat a hasty retreat.........I bumped into Dizzy in the corridor......All perfectly innocent
Are you sure it was a corridor and not a back passage?
Now that you mention it, it could have been, it reminded me of the blackout, you had to light up to see who had brought you home.
I remember having sax with Charlie Parker, the it suddenly went darker.
There's far too much sax and violins on this thread.
you're right Phil. It's no way to conduct oneself.
I only wish people would stop harping on about sex!
Salad should be along any minute now to tell us about his organ......think i'll put the kettle on.
If music be the food of love, do Echo and the Bunnymen go hungry?
Ah! A thespian quoting the Bard, how refreshing.......Echo and the Bunnymen, they went to Hollywood with some geezer called Frankie and his mate Benny.
I thought Frankie and Benny's was on Edge Lane, but wondered if that might be too classy for Ian McCulloch and co.
I read on wikipedia that Ian McCulloch bought two council houses on his old street and had them knocked into one, apparently he spends his days standing on his balcony smoking and going "NERRR!" at the job centre opposite.
That was one of our kids, "NERR". He was always saying it. He sounded lie Maggie Ranson's goat.
So Ian McCulloch is a NERRR-do-well?
He waved at me once from a Taxi. He was smoking a cigar with his other hand.
I've just seen Noddy Holder next door....He ignored me............Mind you I've been ignored by better than the likes of him.
I wanted to play with Ivy Benson and her band, but they wouldn't let me.
Yeah, the same happened to me with the Dagenham Girls Pipe Band
What about Reg Kehoe and his Marimba Queens? www.youtube.com/watch…
