Only six minutes suffice to get “the blood boiling” in the bedroom and this is not what we say, but the official figures.

Quite often couples, especially when they are married, use the excuse of “not enough time” for their abstinence from sex. Reduced to non-existent sexual contact, however, in a relationship – according to marriage counselors and psychologists – can be disastrous for its development. They use the same excuse to avoid foreplay.

A new study by the Sex Education and Outreach Council of Canada and condom company “Trojan” found that it only takes 6 minutes for people to feel good in the bedroom and have a much better time. What should the couple do in these six minutes? Kissing, hugging, caressing each other tenderly, and sharing sweet words.

1500 people with different sexual preferences, from 18 to 24 years old, participated in the research. The results showed that participants who followed the “6-minute rule” were very sexually satisfied after the procedure. This satisfaction increased more when the couple spent a little more time (also 6 minutes) in casual conversation, hugs, and caresses after sex.

More important for women is the rule
The ‘6-minute rule’ appeared to be particularly important for women, with 61% of those taking part, reporting that they could not reach orgasm without it. On the men’s side, the rates were more or less the same, with male participants agreeing that the 6 minutes of preliminaries with caresses and hugs made the whole process more fun, although they still managed to climax without them.

But why are these 6 minutes so effective? According to psychologists, during this time you can deal with your various obligations, which are not too important or demanding, but help your day and time to flow more calmly and organised. Once you’ve sorted these out in your head, take 6 minutes to have a good time with your partner.

Why are kissing and hugging so important? Beyond the expression of tenderness, kisses, and hugs relax us and help us express ourselves more open to the person next to us. During these most intimate moments, kisses and hugs release the hormones of good mood and love (serotonin and oxytocin), making us feel more pleasant and beautiful.
