A new study that looked at middle-aged and older couples found that cuddling and caressing can boost satisfaction. The study also revealed that:
- Tenderness is more important to men than to women
- Men are more likely to report being happy in their relationship
- Women are more likely to be satisfied with their sex life
According to Yahoo Health:
“Both women and men were happier the longer they had been together and if they had higher levels of sexual functioning … Sexual satisfaction for both women and men was associated with frequent kissing and cuddling, sexual caressing by a partner, high sexual functioning, and frequent sex. For men, having had more sex partners in their lifetime was a predictor of less sexual satisfaction … Sexual satisfaction for women increased over time.”
