It became known which people need sex more than others

Avoiding the “vicious circle” effect

Experts from the University of Massachusetts (USA) have determined which people find it most difficult to live without sex. Although it has long been known that an active sex life is very useful for every person, both for physical and mental health, there are those who especially need it.

Scientists are discouraged – people for whom sex is most indicated are more likely than others to remain without it.

“Everyone knows that regular intimate relationships increase self-esteem, contribute to the development of self-confidence, a surge of energy, liberation and, as a result, success not only in personal life, but also in the professional field,” psychologist and sexologist Oleg Shevchenko told MK, familiarized himself with the research of his American colleagues. – Actually, there is no news in this, but the University of Massachusetts conducted a survey and found that among people who lack all of these qualities listed above, there are much more of those who lead a Puritan lifestyle. There is an explanation for this: it is much easier for active and self-confident people to have sexual relationships. It turns out to be a vicious circle – natural shyness and constraint are superimposed with additional complexes due to the lack of a full-fledged intimate life.

But the study also contains positive, encouraging results: “quiet and modest people” who have overcome themselves and started a sexual life become much better off psychologically – and this happens at any age.
