If you prefer spicier food, there’s a good chance you also lead a spicier life, according to new research.

A study into the palates and spicy food preferences of 2,000 Americans examined the correlation between taste buds and lifestyles and found heat on the plate can mean more heat in the bedroom.

In fact, those who listed their spice preference as hot have almost double the amount of sex than those who said they don’t like any spice at all on their food (5.3 times per month to 3.2 times per month frolicking under the sheets.)

The new survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of hot sauce brand El Yucateco, asked Americans a series of questions about their personality and then split the results by how spicy they prefer their food (none, mild, medium, and hot) and found it’s not just in the bedroom that spicier palates are more active.

Results showed spicy palates could arguably correlate to a sense of adventure with those marking themselves as hot on the spice range more likely to say they love roller coasters, listen to loud music, and even drive fast down a winding road.

Results showed people who enjoy their food to be hot were the most likely to rate their happiness level at a perfect ten than any other spicy preference, and that also goes with how happy they are in their current job.

Perhaps most interesting, though, is how on top of their life people who prefer hot spice tend to be, when compared to those who don’t.
