Lovemaking Not important As Cuddling

Intimate Romance
 
Love brings two people closer together. But according to the latest study a researcher from the Laboratory of Evolutionary Anthropology and Health at Binghamton University, Justin Garcia stated that most couples today prefer to cuddle and kiss their mate rather than lovemaking.

Doctors have proved that lovemaking helps in various ways and has the best of advantages too for both the male and female. People around the world have voted for cuddling and kissing to be much more intimate than lovemaking and it is what they crave for even more than physical intimacy from the opposite gender.

Justin Garcia, the researcher states that," People want emotional intimacy, to feel bonded and romantically attached to another." He further added that," This drive lies deep within our evolved biology; and while sex is important, so too is the drive to connect to a lover."
Cuddling is easy, you feel relaxed and for most women they get the secured feeling that they are safe. But most importantly, now that lovemaking is something that most couples do not find essential , the person whom you cuddle with should be special and above all matter to you. In the study conducted, 95 percent of couples say that they prefer cuddling other than lovemaking and in most romantic relationships, 97 percent of men and women stated that they like to cuddle up close with their partner, but in uncommitted sexual hook-ups only 52 percent of men and 61 percent of women like to cuddle.

Researcher Justin Garcia stated, " The sexes aren't as different in our desire for love as we often think. But it is important to note that the context of these affiliation gestures makes a lot of difference. In some cases, these behaviors are about trying to become emotionally closer to the partner. We quite often see that sex isn't always just about sex - it is often one of many ways to find someone to love."
