Want a better sex life? Find God 🔍 A study has found that religious people tend to have higher levels of sexual satisfaction ⤵️
“Maybe for some of my friends it would have even be an achievement to get to a higher number of sexual partners, whereas for the number was a source of embarrassment. Historically religion has been pretty restrictive about sex, and there’s all sorts of problems with that, but as an adult who goes to church, I feel things have improved and are more realistic. I don’t feel I’m now told so much that sex has to only be for procreation.
“I have felt much better about sex since re-finding my faith in my early thirties. Getting married to someone religious, in a Catholic church, abstaining for weeks before our wedding, and committing to the religion formally has made me feel happier about sex.
“There are so many factors that go into that, but I definitely feel a sense of clarity about my sex life that I never used to. It’s the sense of commitment which isn’t specific to religion only, but it’s also something to do with it all feeling a particularly big deal in the eyes of the church. We’re really in it for the long haul, so we have to be honest, we have to work at it a lot.”
Almost 40 per cent of men in the study reported 10 or more sexual partners in their life versus a quarter of women , by marital therapists Michael Metz and Barry McCarthy, points to research that found that the best sex occurs in couples who have been together for 15 years or longer. The research found that because casual sex can often be more a performance than with a long-term partner and there may be more pressure, less honesty, and less vulnerability.
The recent Journal of Sex Research study found there is a discrepancy between men and women in their satisfaction: married women who were more religious got more sexual satisfaction than married women who were not religious, while if the men were married their levels of sexual satisfaction stayed the same, whether religious or not.
