Study says men and women prefer sex with feeling

Recent research has shown that while men and women are very fond of going out, staying, and having fun without compromise, when it comes to sex, both indicate a preference for a relationship with someone with whom there is already intimacy and feeling.

Durex interviewed 2000 men and women at least 25 years old, and found that 87% of women claimed that the best sex in their lives was with someone they already had a relationship with, that is, no first date, night with unknown and leftover ending in something else.

In addition, 95% of men confirmed that they find the sexual experience with emotional relationship much more satisfying. Both sexes claimed that they care more about satisfying their partner than themselves. These results suggest that both are looking for something far beyond a quick, feeling-free relationship, with trust and affection, as well as emotional stability, being important.
