Researchers have finally cracked the code of a happy sexual relationship and let us warn you it is not even close to what you would have thought.
The time spent during the process is important but not as important as the time spent post it.
Recently a website called ozy discovered that 15 minutes of post-coitus cuddling boosts relationship satisfaction, according to a pair of new studies published recently in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal.
Academics from two universities near Toronto queried more than 450 adults about their post-love-making actions and general relationship happiness.
The “duration of post sex affection was associated with higher sexual satisfaction and, in turn, higher relationship satisfaction,” reads the abstract. The findings suggest that the period after sex is a critical time for promoting satisfaction in intimate bonds.
Not all couples view cuddling equally — stereotypes say women want it, and men don’t. And sometime it’s the men who want the snuggles. Whatever your inclination, the truth seems to be that taking a few extra minutes to bask in each other’s glow will do wonders for your relationship.
This worked over the course of three months of lovemaking — no word on if it matters after years of marriage, but at least, it still matters after the first blush.
