Let’s do a little myth busting of our own here at InfidelitySurvivor.com.
Myth: Men do not like to cuddle and be held. Not true according to a new study on what makes men and women happy inside the boundaries of an intimate relationship.
The study, done by the Kinsey Insitute in Bloomington, Indiana, yielded some surprising results:
*Men who cuddle and kiss their partners frequently were three time more happy with their relationship than men who reported less intimate contact.
*Surprisingly, the study found that women were happier in the relationship when they viewed their intimate relationship as being ‘sexually satisfactory.’
And, here’s the kicker:
*Women reported sexual satisfaction significantly improved when being with their partner for more than 15 years.
“This study makes it clear our assumptions aren’t always borne out by research,” said Jennifer Bass, director of communications at The Kinsey Institute.
This from Aline Zoldbrod, a psychologist in Lexington, Mass., “Touch from a person you love and trust is a major emotional resource and a way that people can regulate their emotions when they are upset. Couples who use touch to comfort, to compliment, and yes, to seduce and arouse, are bound to be happier.”
Why would a woman view her sexual satification signifcantly better after 15 years with the same partner? Experts from the study suggest one reason may be that expectations change in the relationship after the children have grown.
Japanese men and women were significantly happier in their relationships than Americans, according to the study. But both Spanish and Brazilian were not has happy as couple living in the United States.
Close to 50% of couples in the U.S. stay in their first marriage for at least 20 years. That number skyrockets to over 90% for Spanish couples, according to the study.
