A survey published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior highlights the importance of affectionate physical interactions in monogamous relationships, linking behaviors like hand-holding, hugging, kissing, and cuddling with higher sexual satisfaction. The study involved 336 predominantly LGBTQ+ adults and categorized participants into three groups based on their physical behaviors: infrequent, affection-focused, and comprehensive. Findings suggest those in the comprehensive group experienced the highest levels of sexual satisfaction, emphasizing that physical affection is important for relationship fulfillment. This contrasts with a study indicating no significant satisfaction differences between monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, underscoring affection's unique role in monogamy.
A survey has found that frequent hand-holding, hugging, kissing and cuddling could be indicators of greater sexual satisfaction in monogamous relationships.
Researchers identified three distinct patterns of physical behaviour: infrequent physical behaviours, affection-focused behaviours, and comprehensive physical behaviours, which correspond to satisfaction levels.
Those engaging in comprehensive physical behaviours reported the highest sexual satisfaction, indicating a strong correlation between affectionate actions and relationship contentment.
The study suggests that affectionate physical interactions are crucial for nurturing sexual satisfaction among monogamous couples.
