Results of an international study suggest that cuddling and caressing are important ingredients for long-term relationship satisfaction.
However, the Kinsey Institute study finds that contrary to stereotypes, tenderness was more important to men than women.
The research, which involved more than one-thousand couples from the U.S., Brazil, Germany, Spain and Japan, also found men were more likely to be happy in their relationship and women were more likely to be satisfied with their sexual relationship.
The study, which can be found on the Indiana University website, was co-authored by Psychology and Obstetrics Professor William Fisher of the University of Western Ontario
