Keep your socks on under the covers!
Socks during sex have a bad rep, and are often seen as a passion killer. But set yourself straight, wearing socks during a roll in the hay is apparently great for your sex drive! Although you may have some convincing to do with your partner, afterwards he’s sure not to look at them in the same way! Here are a few good reasons to keep your feet cosy during sex!
The effect of socks on orgasm: an accidental discovery
The results of a study led by researchers in the Netherlands showed that the men and women who wore socks during sex achieved orgasm more easily.
Another study in 2011 further consolidated these results: while they had sex, the couples were linked to a type of scanner, which was supposed to measure the brain areas stimuated and the psychological influences on orgasm. But certain participants began complaining of the cold in the room, and deemed it too cold for their liking. These cold characters were therefore given pairs of socks. The results were fairly clear: the fact of having put on socks increased their ability to reach orgasm from 50 to 80%!
How can a simple pair of socks be such a game changer?
The researchers in charge of these studies concluded that keeping your feet warm helped the surveyed couples to be more comfortable and thus enjoy sex more. This level of comfort also allowed their partners to relax and to concentrate better on what they were doing. So in short, wearing stockings is starting to seem like more and more of a good idea!
