So, riding a tandem bicycle would mean that somebody is probably a better lover? Or Boxing? Or tandem skydiving?
No, because tandem bicycling and skydiving have nothing to do with rhythm. It's also not a form of expression like dance or sex is. However, you could make the argument that someone who skydives tends to be more adventurous and this could be good in the bedroom.
Boxing is an adversarial sport which requires tremendous skill and hones your upper body movement and legwork. I suppose it can make you better in bed because you will be in amazing shape. And someone who's willing to put forth such effort into a sport is probably not lazy so that's also a good thing. But it's quite dissimilar from dance for the reasons I stated about tandem bicycling and skydiving.
For whatever reason, you just don't see the connection between dancing and sex at all. I don't think I could convince you even if it was absolutely true.

That doesn't negate the fact however that every point in this instance was valid in the case of dancing.

If we're getting pedantic, using your argument, the act of kissing your child on the forehead isn't a totally different physical activity to snowboarding because they both entail the movement of your head, lungs and heart. Every act, no mater how far removed, can be linked at some level. The fact that sex and dancing both involve movement of the hips (albeit totally different actions) does not mean that both activites require a similar physical movement. If that's how being good at sex worked, people would be signing up for shot-put lessons.
No, because the similarities between dancing and sex are much greater than a kiss on the forehead and snowboarding.

And I'm fairly certain that wouldn't be the case.
Seriously, there is no connection. I mean, I could put forward arguments to say quite the opposite to what you're saying.
But they're not very good ones...

...Since dancers are self-confident, it just so happens that self-confident people are more likely to be selfish or arrogant than shy people, therefore they would be poor lovers as they'd be less giving in bed. Self-confident people tend to be less sensitive emotionally than shy people, therefore they wouldn't be as attuned intimately with the needs of a partner...
Where do you get that self-confident people are more likely to be selfish and less attuned than shy people?
Selfishness is pretty evenly distributed amongst confident and insecure people; it's just that confident selfish people more outwardly display selfishness than insecure selfish people. If anything, confident people tend to be happier and this will make them more generous.
As for empathy, that trait just makes you more confident because being empathic results in greater social success in life. So to say that confident people aren't empathic is kinda weird in my mind (I'm not saying that confidence denotes empathy though).

...all that would of course be rubbish, as there is simply no connection whether it be pro or con.
So.. you didn't understand my point, paralleled it with a really bad argument of your own, concluded that your own said argument was terrible.. and that's supposed to invalidate my point?

I just get tired of tenuous connections being made between unrelated actions.
But this is your own fault cause you can't see the connection.

As I said earlier, I have nothing to lose. I'm artistic, and with that comes the old cliche of artists being good lovers.
Huh? Why would you have something to lose? lol
Quote:
I'm not saying they're not [good lovers], all I'm saying is that if some ARE, it's nothing to do with their skill with a paintbrush, it's down to the fact that they've put in time learning how to be a good lover.
I think what I said in my previous post bears repeating cuz you seem to have missed it:
"I hope you realize that my point is not that being a good lover is a function of being a good dancer. But my point is that certain attributes that contribute to someone being a good dancer also contributes to them being a good lover."
