Here's one more reason to cuddle! According to a study by researchers at the University of Toronto (Canada), published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, continuing to cuddle and talk tenderly would maintain the flame and the desire of the couple.
To come to this conclusion, which is hardly surprising but worth remembering, the scientists interviewed 335 individuals online before studying 101 couples for 21 days. Their observation? Those who prolong the signs of tenderness for at least 15 minutes, by caressing, hugging and kissing, say they are more satisfied with the emotional and sexual life of their couple.
The finding is particularly pronounced among parents, who "have less time for sex and romance," the researchers note:"It is possible that this additional bonding after love is more important for couples who would face difficulties have intimate moments,” they analyze.
Between work, the house to keep and Junior to take care of, it is true that time is sometimes hard to find. All the more reason to take 15 more minutes to prolong the moment of intimacy, sweetness and zenitude, "by hugging your partner, kissing or talking tenderly", advises Canadian researcher Amy Muise, who participated in the study.
So if you like hugs, do not hesitate to abuse it!
