Affection and hugs remain important components of family happiness. After conducting a survey, scientists concluded that men enjoy affection more. Furthermore, the longer a couple has been married, the happier the man feels.
Despite the popular belief that women crave affection more, experts have found that men have a stronger need for affection. Furthermore, husbands are more satisfied in long-term relationships, and their wives derive maximum pleasure from sex.
The survey involved couples from various countries with 25 years of marriage. It turned out that for men, marital happiness is defined as health and the ability to please their partner. Hugs and kisses also play a significant role in a man's well-being.
Participants from Japan report the happiest results, followed by Americans, Brazilians, and Spaniards. For many, intimate life is more enjoyable when there's tenderness in the relationship. However, the more sexually experienced a man is, the less satisfied he feels.
With age, men are more satisfied with their family relationships, and women's sex lives improve in quality. Japanese men rate their sexual satisfaction 2.6 times higher than Americans. Japanese and Brazilian women also report greater sexual satisfaction than American women.
