5 sexual curiosities you didn’t see coming (the fourth one will leave you speechless!)

In the United States, there is always a university willing to spend millions on a study that provides content for articles as interesting as this one.

The Sexy Voice

Women can make their voice sound “sexier,” but men cannot.

In 2014 at Albright College of Pennsylvania, they did a study that showed women were able to deliberately manipulate their voices to sound more attractive, and it worked for them. But when men tried it, they sounded terrible.

Apparently, when women want to sound sexy all they have to do is tone it down. That way they are indicating their interest in a potential partner. What about men? It seems that when they try it, it results in the same reaction you get when watching someone pose with pouty lips for a selfie. Total cringe.

Semen combats depression

Good news! According to a study conducted by scientists at the State University of New York, semen can help fight depression because it contains chemicals that elevate mood, increase affection and induce sleep. It’s good for everything. Maybe we’ll patent it.

Sex connection

Researchers at UCLA conducted brain scans of volunteers while they viewed sexual images and asked them about their sexual behaviors. And what a coincidence! It turned out that those whose brains were most active while viewing the sexual images were also the ones who had the most sexual partners.

The conclusion of this fact is another fact: that sexual motivation varies from person to person. Something we already knew without scanning our brains.

Men also fake orgasms

Well, yes, and it’s not a bad thing. We often assume that simulating orgasm is done because you’re not enjoying yourself or because you want to get it over as soon as possible. But it can also be part of the game. Hence, men do it too, and for the same reasons as women.

After-sex cuddles are beneficial

According to a study by the University of Toronto (how authoritative to start a paragraph with this formula!) kissing and caressing each other after sex is as important as the sex itself. Couples who practice it experience higher levels of sexual satisfaction because having sex releases oxytocin, which is the typical go-to hormone for everything.

Apparently, oxytocin is released for a longer period of time with more prolonged skin-to-skin contact. So you know, don’t finish and run away. It’s a very lame way to finish things, oxytocin aside.
