Why Men Should Cuddle With Women More Often

There are many differences between men and women, and just how different the 2 sexes are is something that has been argued over for years and years. Pick up any dating magazine and you will be swamped with tips and articles that tell you what both men and women really want from each other. Of all the different opinions out there today, not one of them can completely answer the question and give an overall generalization of what each sex wants from the other. Most people think that men are a lot easier to read than women are, and I would honestly have to agree with that one. Women are another story though. Their hints are much more subtle than the signals that men give off, but it's necessarily a bad thing.

The differences between men and women extend even into the realm of intimacy. Men are very obvious and direct in their approach to intimacy, while women like gentle caressing and cuddling. Let's look at sex as an example. It has been published almost everywhere now that a large percentage of women like to cuddle after intercourse. How are men different? That's right, the majority of men would much rather be left alone, or just go right to sleep. This kind of response from a man isn't really his fault either. It has to do with his physiological response. Guys want to go to sleep right away because their orgasm releases a chemical called serotonin. This chemical is known for causing positive changes in mood, but it also makes you want to sleep.

Women also experience a physiological response after having intercourse. A hormone called oxytocin is released inside their bodies. This hormone is responsible for the urge to be close to and bond with their partner that women have after sexual activity. Women like cuddling so much that a few studies have shown women to prefer it over having sex. I know this sounds strange to guys at first, but it's only because women have a biological need for closeness and intimacy.

So why do most guys have such a problem with cuddling? The most common reason is that it just feels too feminine and "girly". When it's time to cuddle, women become very personal, open, and willing to share and talk about their feelings. This is something that the majority of men either don't want to, or don't know how to deal with. Cuddling with a woman is not as easy as it looks, but you will do just fine if you use the following advice as your guide.

Cuddling with women is something that is going to require a lot of your attention, and it might feel a little strange at first. Don't worry, because it's EASY to do it with the person you love once you get the hang of it. You just might find that you like it! The first thing you need to do is relax. Cradling a woman in your arms is a good thing, whether you do it on the couch, in your car, or on your bed. You will learn over time that it's a wonderful bonding experience for both of you.
