Everyone is talking about good sex, but what exactly does that mean? A current study should shed some light on this.
For many people, good sex is an essential criterion for the success of a relationship. Great importance is attached to him. The question remains: What really makes good sex? A study by Missouri State University has now got to the bottom of this mystery and shows which factors contribute to a fulfilling love life.
Study shows: These 3 factors are particularly important for good sex
emotional component
Having butterflies in your stomach is probably one of the most beautiful feelings in the world. This is also the case with sex. Apparently there is a difference between love and emotional elements in sex among the 17 to 69-year-old participants in the study. While a small group of respondents disagreed that an emotional bond played a role, the majority indicated that emotional factors such as Trust and affection are important in order to be able to speak of good sex. So well-being comes first.
The chemistry
A certain physical attraction also contributes to a fulfilling sexual experience. Here, too, it is a question of feeling whether the physical exchange between two people becomes a fulfilling experience or not. But this point must also be viewed very differently, because while it is more than important for some people to sleep with a person who corresponds to their type, for others the emotional component dominates.
The orgasm
As was to be expected, in this study as well most common reason for good sex the orgasm called, without which both men and women do not feel the pleasurable act as fulfilling. At the same time, this factor also generates the greatest pressure, because especially when other things like intimacy aren’t guaranteed, sex itself can make you uncomfortable when maybe things don’t go the way you want them to. In the study itself, the participants also state that the male orgasm is mostly marked as the end of the act. The scientists refer to a so-called “orgasm gap” – “a term that refers to the disparity between men’s and women’s orgasms in heterosexual sexual encounters”.
