Boost Your Relationship: Research Indicates Frequent Intimacy Leads to Happier Partners

Sexual intimacy isn’t just a physical act; it’s a vital component of emotional bonding and well-being. According to a study by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, couples who describe themselves as content in their partnerships engage in sexual activities at least weekly.

When examining heterosexual relationships, experts from the Westchester Therapy Group shared with Elite Daily that although the motivations for sex may differ between couples, the shared emotional connection during intimacy remains a consistent theme.

Interestingly, the timing for sexual activities appears to be another source of divergence between genders. A study from Lovehoney, a brand specializing in adult toys, showed that men are typically more inclined for morning intimacy, while women prefer the late hours of the evening.

And the differences don’t stop there; preferred sexual positions can also be a point of contention. Based on a survey conducted among the readers of Women’s Health, women listed their least-favored sexual positions, citing reasons like diminished pleasure, discomfort, and a notable lack of emotional closeness. Among the least popular were Doggy Style, Top Mount Position, Reverse Cowgirl, 69, and Missionary.

So, for all the men out there, it might be time to step up your game and consider your partner’s preferences to ensure a fulfilling and emotionally rich sexual relationship.
