They came to me for counseling, feeling the lack of sexual connection. Their frustration was growing and casting a shadow on their life together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As their stories unfolded it became clear that they lost their intimacy. \u201cWe never kiss,\u201d complained Peter. \u201cWhenever he wants sex, he comes to me, and expects me to magically get in the mood,\u201d Julia added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyday signs of affection, such as kissing and cuddling, are the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> intimacy secrets <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">couples forget about. But research shows that they can boost sexual arousal and relationship satisfaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>New Study Sheds Light on Intimacy Secrets<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex is a cornerstone of most romantic relationships, yet we have limited understanding of how arousal and intimacy work. The bulk of available research focuses on individual sexual responses instead of between couples. In addition, most studies have been conducted in lab settings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jsm\/article\/20\/8\/1115\/7204399\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Sexual Medicine study<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">takes a more innovative approach. Researchers wanted to get a sneak peek into the daily lives of couples in their natural environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They applied a method called <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ecological momentary assessment (EMA) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and asked participants to submit reports about sexual arousal, relationship satisfaction, and their emotional states using a mobile app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what they discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intimacy Secret #1: Kissing and Cuddling Are Critical<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most couples who took part in the study frequently engaged in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nongenital intimate activities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even many times a day. Those <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/womens-health\/sexual-behaviors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kisses and cuddles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were not merely expressions of love \u2014 they led to sexual arousal, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study revealed some gender differences in sexual response. Both women and men reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction if their individual sexual arousal during moments of intimacy was high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the female participants, however, a comparable, high level of arousal within the couple also mattered. These findings are in line with the belief that the interpersonal aspect of sex is more important for women than for men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35750\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35750\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"couple cooking and showing affection to each other\" width=\"780\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2.jpeg-768x484.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35750\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kissing is important for a couple\u2019s wellbeing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intimacy Secret #2: Women\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relationship Satisfaction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Arousal Are Linked<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scientists tried to find out whether everyday, sexy moments translated into more relationship satisfaction.

To do that, they measured positive affect (the sense of being happy, healthy, optimistic, and attractive) in connection with kisses and cuddles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male participants showed greater positive affect if they and their partners responded to intimate exchanges with high levels of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/how-understanding-what-arouses-you-can-help-you-cope-with-ed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">arousal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For women, their own increased sexual excitement was the decisive factor that contributed to well-being and good mood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Everyday Intimacy Tips for Couples<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I started working with Peter and Julia, I had to remind them of the importance of intimacy for couples. I told them they couldn\u2019t expect a fairytale sex life at the click of a button. \u201cYour hot, romantic evening starts at the breakfast table,\u201d I told them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are more <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">couples&#8217; therapists insights<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will help you bring intimacy back to your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make the Mundane Special<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost all James Bond films end with the handsome spy enjoying a romantic interlude with his bombshell \u201cBond girl.\u201d Hollywood consistently feeds us images of carefree endings, but real life is different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Somewhere between rushing to the grocery store, making dentists\u2019 appointments, and school carpools, partners forget they are two people in love.

It\u2019s been around for a while, but it still feels great to go on adventures in it. To make sure those wheels keep on rolling, you need to do regular maintenance. In a relationship, good communication is what helps maintain a sense of happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember how when you first met, you could spend hours just talking, getting to know each other? Anything from politics to the meaning of life and the existence of aliens . . . you were hungry to talk and connect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intimacy grows when couples communicate on a deeper level. Go beyond the division of household chores and arguing who drives the kids to school tomorrow. After a long work day, grab a glass of wine and dare to ask your partner about their wildest dreams. Who knows, maybe they can still surprise you?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35752\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35752\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4.jpeg-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4.jpeg-1.jpg\" alt=\"elderly couple laughing and drinking wine at home\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4.jpeg-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4.jpeg-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4.jpeg-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35752\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Take time to talk and reconnect with your partner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revive the Lost Art of Kissing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peter and Julia\u2019s road back to satisfying sex life and harmonious relationship started with a kiss. The couple realized that they had taken sensual kisses off the menu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once they began to rediscover their lips, they remembered how much they enjoyed smooching in their early years. Soon enough, their kissing sessions brought them back to the bedroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time to bring the French kiss back! Replace the morning peck on the cheek with a two-minute meeting of mouths. And if you\u2019re too tired for sex at bedtime, a long kiss will get those love hormones flowing; you&#8217;ll fall asleep feeling content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Investing in Intimacy Pays Off<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re tempted to say, \u201cI don\u2019t have time for intimacy,\u201d think about what may happen if you don\u2019t make it a priority. In today\u2019s hectic world, intimate moments give us a sense of security and belonging. And research shows that nongenital intimacy is beneficial for couples\u2019 sex lives and happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest intimacy secret lies in its simplicity. You don\u2019t need to rent a fancy yacht and take your wife to the Bahamas. You can create magical moments of connection every single day without much effort. The return for your investment is great \u2014 a loving relationship for years to come!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Ultimate Intimacy Secret: Good Sexual Health<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building daily intimacy and sustaining a passionate relationship is easier if you\u2019re in good sexual health.
