Let's find out what amusing conclusions specialists have reached while studying various aspects of intimate life. We are sure that the results of the research will surprise you!
Sex in Socks More Often Leads to Orgasm
Many women believe that a naked man in socks looks, let's say, slightly ridiculous and not very sexy. However, as a study by Dutch scientists showed, which involved brain scanning of the subjects, 80% of couples reached orgasm when having sex in socks. Those who did it without socks experienced pleasure only half the time.
The explanation for this finding is simple: it’s all about the warming effect. In good socks, feet do not get cold, blood vessels do not constrict, circulation improves – not only in the feet but throughout the body (including the genitals), which greatly contributes to good sex. For this reason, women, who reach the peak of pleasure less often than men, are advised by specialists to consider wearing socks during lovemaking.
By the way, scientists noted that wearing socks is good not only for having sex but also for simply sleeping, as warm feet help the body relax and fall asleep more easily. Experts claim that this way you can fall into the arms of Morpheus 15 minutes faster.
How Many Times a Year Should You Have Sex
American scientists continue to study the relationships between men and women. This time they found out how many times a year one needs to have sex to feel absolutely happy.
The specialists conducted a large-scale study that lasted a full ten years. The participants were divided into three age groups. The first group included young people aged 18 to 29, the second group consisted of those aged 30-39, and the third group included volunteers aged 40 to 49. Analyzing the data obtained, the scientists determined the optimal number of sexual contacts for each age group.
For example, the young body is filled with hormones and requires release, so experts recommend that members of the first age group indulge in sexual pleasures at least 112 times a year. People in the second age group are advised not to push their bodies too hard (even if they really want to) and to have sex about 86 times a year. Meanwhile, representatives of the third age group are advised to refrain from excessive exertion, which could negatively affect their bodies, and to have no more than 69 sexual pleasures a year.
The researchers note that these are standard recommendations; however, of course, there are exceptions to every rule. If you feel that you are capable of more than what the recommendations prescribe, then listen to yourself and your feelings.
How Many Calories Do We Burn During Sex
It turns out that to work off an extra donut or other treat, one needs to make love for at least two hours. These conclusions were reached by Italian scientists. Moreover, they found out not only that sex contributes to weight loss but also calculated how many calories can be burned in one night of love.
The specialists conducted a study and concluded that during sex, a person can burn from 100 to 200 calories per hour! At the same time, the scientists emphasize that if you don't have the strength to perform acrobatic tricks in bed, you can simply kiss. But you must throw yourself into this activity with all the passion you have accumulated. Then there is a chance to burn at least 5 calories per minute or about 300 calories per hour.
So if you want to estimate how many calories you burn during your time spent with your partner, just multiply the number of minutes you indulged in passion by the number of calories an average person burns per minute of sex. By the way, now you have a strong argument in favor of long love sessions. And if your partner suddenly wants to "cut corners," show him the calculations and explain that in "quick" 15 minutes, you can only burn 50 calories, which is not serious at all.
Interestingly, British scientists even figured out which day of the week is the most suitable for having sex. You will be surprised, but according to experts, one should indulge in passion on Thursday.
