The classic 'hour-glass' figure is found to be related to the 'Marilyn Monroe' hormone. Researchers have discovered that this particular type of hormone is responsible for women's preference for more than one partners.

As per reports by the News.com.au, the US based research proves that females with high levels of oestradoil exude higher confidence level and have an increased inclination for sex outside of their current relationship. The symmetrical face cut, large breasts and low waist-to-hip ratios are all attributed to the ovarian steroid hormone.

"Marilyn Monroe is actually a really good example of a woman who was almost certainly high in oestradoil," Australian sexologist Dr Frances Quirk said in response to the research. "She was a classic hour-glass figure and because of her relationship pattern - she was a serial monogamist.

"Her relationships last three or four years or slightly longer, and if you look at the men she had relationships with, they increased in status," the expert added.

The study included 52 young women aged between 17 to 30 who had their oestradoil levels checked using a saliva swab. They were further analyzed about their desirability sexual motivations and also their inclinations relating to their current partners. An independent assessment was carried out regarding their attractiveness through their photographs.

"High-oestradiol women were considered significantly more physically attractive by themselves and others," the study stated.

"These women reported somewhat lower levels of satisfaction with and commitment to their primary partners, and a significantly greater likelihood ... of becoming acquainted with new potential mates," the research concluded.

The study concluded that though these women were' significantly more likely" to have a serious affair' , however that did not mean that they were more likely to have "brief sexual encounters". These women favored long-term relationships but are "not easily satisfied by their long-term partners and are especially motivated to become acquainted with other, presumably more desirable, men".
