In today's modern society, experts have found more reasons why people need sex than in the past. Similarly, we are doing it more often.
Sexual acts carry various psychological, social, cultural, or even religious connotations. After taking the survey, the three most common sexual motivations were voted as: To have a baby, to feel better, and for love. In addition, there are other reasons, like curiosity and negative reasons.
However, some sexologists say that, at the most basic level, there is only one real reason why people seek sex. That is nature.
In fact, asking why people need sex is as obvious as asking why we need to eat. The human brain is designed for that behavior. In other words, this is natural instinct, and we are programmed to do so.
Sexual instinct reflects the evolutionary process, to promote the survival and maintenance of the species. This is a common view shared by many cultures and most people support and agree.
2. The difference between the sexes
In general, men turn to sex because they like how it feels. While women are more likely to experience pleasure in physical contact, they are often more concerned with the ability of sex to build and strengthen relationships with their partners. Researchers have divided into two specific views as follows:
Sex is physically focused: You do it because you enjoy the physical sensations and the pleasure it brings. You don't care about your partner's feelings; Mentally focused sex: You do it to connect with your partner. You care more about your true feelings and relationship than physical touch. The psychology professor said that men often start to seek sex for physical pleasure. Conspicuously, most college-aged men start doing “adult affairs” for physical reasons without any emotional attachment. But this will change over time. When a man reaches the age of 40 - 60, the real relationship will gradually become more important than the physical feelings.
Whereas in women, they initiate sex to develop, strengthen and maintain an existing emotional relationship. But when you have a long and close relationship with your other half, you can really focus on the pleasure that sex brings to you.
Anyway, there are exceptions to this view. Many women these days may also agree to "fall in love" just to satisfy a physiological need, and there are still men who say they have sex for real affection.
3. Four groups of reasons why people need sex
Stress relief is one of the top reasons Americans have sex, especially men. After surveying more than 1,500 young people about their sexual attitudes and experiences, experts found four main groups of reasons:
Physical reasons: Pleasure, boost mood, reduce depression and stress, exercise, curiosity about “adult things”, discovering yourself and others, or to attract a partner Goal-based reasons: To have children, improve social status, gain more people know or seek revenge, earn money Emotional reasons: Cultivate affection, show love to the other half, love the other, need to be loved, promise or gratitude Reason for seeking love safety: To assert themselves, reduce sexual desire, prevent the other partner from having an affair with others, feel a sense of responsibility or obligation, pressured (e.g. partner insisting on sex) sex)
4. What is the effect of regular sex?
In general, young men and women today are often not in a relationship, they are still in the process of discovering their own sexuality.
