Scientists have discovered the recipe for great sex, and it goes beyond The Big O. In a recent study conducted by two American scientists at Missouri State University, 78 participants between the ages of 18 and 69 were interviewed. The study revealed that an emotional connection was the most important factor for a passionate romp, with 52 participants emphasizing its significance. Surprisingly, 20 of the participants didn’t require orgasms at all, while 49 individuals considered it a top priority.
The three key ingredients for great sex identified in the study are as follows:
1. Emotional Connection: Emotional intimacy trumped all other factors, with 52 participants highlighting its importance. Some participants, particularly women, even stated that an emotional connection was necessary for them to have an orgasm.
2. Orgasms: Forty-nine participants considered orgasms essential for great sex. However, some women discounted the significance of orgasms based on previous experiences where they were absent.
3. Chemistry: Chemistry, the elusive spark that defines intimacy between two people, was highly rated by 36 participants. Although difficult to manufacture, chemistry was described as easy to identify.
Dr. Alicia Walker, one of the researchers, explained the diversity of responses they received and emphasized the importance of open communication about sexual needs and expectations. By having these conversations, the likelihood of fulfilling sexual experiences increases.
The study gathered data from participants recruited on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YikYak, and even Craigslist between 2016 and 2018. The researchers aimed to understand the subjective feeling of happiness and satisfaction that sex provides.
In addition to emotional connection and orgasms, chemistry was also identified as an essential ingredient by 36 interviewees. While some individuals stated they didn’t require any emotional connection to engage in sexual activity, others prioritized feeling in love. Gender similarities were observed in the importance of emotional connection and chemistry, but gendered differences existed regarding the importance of partner orgasm.
Overall, this study contributes to the limited existing literature on people’s perceptions of what makes sex great and highlights the sociology of pleasure. The researchers call for further theory development on sexual pleasure.
In other news, a warning has been issued about the “cheatwave” phenomenon, which occurs during hot weather. According to an expert, sunny spells can make people far hornier than usual, leading to a spike in cheating. On the hottest day of the year, sign-ups to a popular marital affairs website increased by 64%. This pattern was observed last year as well. It seems that the sunny and Caribbean-esque temperatures have an unexpected consequence for loved-up Brits.
