A study published in the journal Psychological Science provides insight. We don”t realize how strong the connection is between our sense of well-being and the consistency of our sex life.
“We found that the frequency with which participants had sex did not seem to have a fundamental impact on the degree of well-being of the relationship. But when it comes to spontaneous reactions, a completely different picture emerges,” says Lidsey Hicks of the University of Florida.

And yet people refuse to talk about it directly. Perhaps, scientists believe, this is due to the taboo on open discussion of intimate issues.

For the experiment, 216 newlyweds were asked to complete a special task. A word is displayed on the screen in front of each participant. Pressing the corresponding button allowed you to quickly get an answer — “positive” or “negative”. However, before each word appeared, the man noticed a photo of his partner on the screen — it appeared for only three seconds.

Deep down, some people are still unhappy around their partners, but they are not ready to admit it,” Lindsay concluded.
