Best Sex is Based on ‘Emotional Connection’

The greatest sex is based on intimacy, communication and focus, a new study has claimed.
Research entitled The Components Of Optimal Sexuality: A Portrait Of ‘Great Sex’ revealed that the best sex has nothing to do with having the perfect body or the greatest technique.
Instead the authors behind the study suggest that the results show how the most fulfilling love-making is rooted in emotional intimacy rather than the sexual acts or behaviours performed.
The researchers questioned 64 people who claim to have experienced great sex, including sex therapists, people aged over 60 as well as gay, lesbian and bisexual participants.
Peggy Kleinplatz, lead author of the study, said that many people’s perceptions of what constitutes great sex has been warped by the media.
Popular culture insists that having great sex is to do with the extremity of position, using sex toys and a powerful orgasm but those questioned suggested that these factors are relatively minor, she said.
The study showed that intense physical sensation and orgasm, and lust, desire, chemistry and attraction were not as important as the mindset and intent of those involved.
Meanwhile, a recent study by Dustin Wood, Wake Forest University assistant professor of psychology, and Queens College expert Claudia Brumbaugh, showed that men are more likely to reach a consensus than women on the attractiveness of a person.
