Study shows that men like cuddling more than women

Agree or disagree? What do you think?

Men need more cuddles and kisses than women, and if that weren't surprising enough to researchers in an international study on long-term relationships, sexual satisfaction is more important to women in long-term relationships...... (cont. in link)

This is interesting. I would love to hear what people in long-term relationships think about the article stating couples in decade long relationship can "still enjoy healthy, vibrant sexuality." Ha! Noticed it didn't say with each other.

I'm curious of this statement too:

"Couples in the study that frequently hugged, kissed and caressed their partners and had sex more often reported being more sexually satisfied, researchers found. Both men and women noted being happier the longer they stayed together. For women, the sex got better the longer the couple was together. Those who'd been with their partner for 15 years or more reported an increase is sexual satisfaction."

The main reason I like to cuddle is because I know it will lead to sex at some point. So this study seems to project exactly that....

I like it too and sometimes it leads to round 2 or 3 even . I have no problem talking or cuddling after sex. it's just part of being intimate I think.

I think it's a hormones thing rather than having to do with gender to be honest. So I can't really agree or disagree with that statement, I guess.

"I really appreciate it when she holds my hand or slides closer to me on the sofa,?? says Rudolph, 44. —It's more important for me to get hugged and touched; everything doesn't have to be about having sex.??

I'm the same. I love things that feel good and sex is only one of them. Eye contact, holding hands, hugging, kissing, hearing her whisper on my hear, caressing, ... making love. A release or a climax is not what I look for, it's not over after that. It's about making each other feel good and happy.

Sexual desires are still there, but I can satisfy those by myself. However, I also have sensual desires and those are difficult to relieve without a partner. That's because being sensual is a way of showing love and to show love I need someone to say "I love you".

Cuddling is awesome! In friendship, in relatonships, even with your pillow, cuddling is the BEST! 🙂

I agree to a degree. I don't know about "in friendship" though haha.

I agree. I love cuddling

I like cuddling. Cuddling is a good thing. As long as you don't feel the need to have to be sitting all up near me and on me all the doggone time. Give me some breathing room.

it's like i always say... spooning leads to forking

People who don't like to cuddle, baffle me. Oh you're going to cuddle with me and you're going to like it! LOL

I've never known a guy not to like cuddling.

This. I couldn't help but be a little surprised when they were into it because of the usual macho bs from guys.

However, I did notice that when I was ever in fwb scenarios, cuddling was just strange to me. I just couldn't get into it too much because it was sorta like "why? It's just sex..."

But when in relationships, cuddling came about with no problem whatsoever. I guess I just gotta have more of an emotional tie to the scenario to even feel comfortable with it.
