A recent study in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy involving nearly 3,000 U.S. adults reveals surprising insights about sexual preferences. Many participants indicated they value emotional connections, appreciation, and the act of making their partner feel good above the traditional goal of achieving orgasm. Only a small number of respondents cited orgasm as their favorite aspect of sex, suggesting a shift in perception. The research indicates that partner sex enhances self-esteem and oxytocin levels, contributing to overall well-being more than solo sexual activities.
However, the responses by the almost 3,000 US adult participants led on that sex means a lot more to them than having that big O moment.
This group of participants view sex as a way to strengthen an already strong emotional connection between two lovers.
Having sex alone through masturbation won't stimulate the release of as much oxytocin or other mood-boosting hormones as having sex as part of a loving relationship.
Only 231 people said having an orgasm was their favorite part of doing the deed - which could indicate that many people are shying away from the stigma that good sex only means an orgasm is achieved by both partners every time.
