Topic Idea: Redheads Have More Sex

According to a German study cited here, redheads have more active sex lives than people with any other hair color. There are a few purported reasons for this, say the researchers: red hair is rare, vibrant (the color provokes and arouses people more than any other), and subconsciously indicates youth and fertility.

Best of all, it’s the color that attracts mates, not the genetics, so this applies to both natural redheads and “faux” redheads.

Set Up Ideas:

• Set out to prove or disprove this study. Get a redhead, blonde and brunette on the phone. Ask them questions to determine who has the best love life, based on past and present experience.

• Send your intern to the streets with a video camera, and get interviews from redheads (Ask a Redhead?) on whether they think the study has any merit.

• Post on Facebook for hair stylists to comment. Have they heard stories?
