According to science, it is not that stable couples have more intimacy, but couples who have fun together in bed promote affection and fidelity, some studies indicate that frequent sex helps strengthen the relationship, the answer is, among other things, in chemistry.
Research shows that frequent sex unites couples for purely chemical reasons, due to oxytocin produced in our brain during arousal and orgasm.
- A study from the University of Bonn (Germany) has shown that this hormone stimulates contact between couples.
- Through intercourse it is possible to maintain high levels of oxytocin.
- Improving the relationship sentimental and strengthening ties.
Not in vain is oxytocin known as the hormone of love and attachment. For the sexologist Joserra Landarroitajauregi, “evolution has introduced this substance where the link was important: in childbirth and lactation, strengthening the bond between mother and children, and in erotic pleasure, the search for the bond between lovers”.
“If sex wasn’t the most important thing in life, Genesis wouldn’t start there. “Cesare Pavese?
According to several studies conducted in different parts of the West, a couple usually have sex between once and three times a week, the more frequent and satisfying the couple’s sexual intercourse, the stronger the emotional bond and commitment.
Experts say sex has three main functions in a romantic relationship: erotic, reproductive and communicative. It’s certainly not that love is better when there’s frequent sex, but erotic relationships increase attachment and love.
Sex not only seeks pleasure, it also disturbs feelings and emotions, making us wish closeness and intimacy with our loving partner.
“Eroticism is one of the foundations of self-knownness, as indispensable as poetry. “Anas Nin?
We have already said that frequent and satisfying sex in stable couples reinforces emotional union and commitment, but sex and passion are not the only indicators of success in a romantic relationship.
Sex is one of the fundamental pillars of the couple, but that is not all, mutual admiration is also necessary. Admiration is a central element of any human relationship, at all levels, but in the couple it is one of the most important pillars for relationships to work.
A healthy, rewarding, stimulating and pleasurable relationship involves a significant dose of mutual admiration, a feeling that, combined with intimacy, creates a unique and authentic connection that meets desires and needs like no other.
The other fundamental pillar of romantic relationships is dialogue and communication. To maintain a good dialogue, it is necessary to respect the moment when the couple speaks, be attentive to listening and avoid grunts and personal complaints. The value that should guide the dialogue of the couple is honesty with themselves and between them.
In addition, it is also essential to think of the common good as a couple, above the individual interest, without neglecting our identity. Just as sexual intercourse must be frequent and satisfactory, communication and dialogue must follow the same parameters.
