That one hug I need when I’m the one who’s sad ( i).” Improves well-being: Hugging leads to happy emotions by releasing endorphins. This increases the sense of satisfaction and well-being.

IndianaUniversity. (2011, July 5). Couples report gender differences in relationship,sexual satisfaction over time [Press release] Oxytocin isn’t called the “cuddle hormone” for no reason. It’s released when you cuddle and leaves you feeling loving and connected. There’s a social bonding aspect to oxytocin, too. Research suggests oxytocin helps you bond with those in your inner circle. In other words, the more you cuddle with your closest friends, the tighter your bond will be. Denison, B. (2004,May-June).

She says, “Last week I failed my first test since I started college. I felt like the world was coming to an end. Then one of the girls in my class held my hand in hers and said everything was going to be okay. And because of that one tiny gesture that accompanied her words, I felt so much better.

Though most of us consider hugs a face-to-face endeavor, they can just as easily happen from behind. The Lap Dance fully understands this, offering you sex that’s snuggly and stimulating in equal measure. Start by asking your partner to kneel down so far their butt is resting on their ankles. Then, kneel on their lap, with your thighs straddling theirs. From there, they can pull you closer, wrap their arms around you, and shower you with kisses—all while you set the pace of penetration. The Thirst is little more than missionary sex turned on its side, so that both partners can enjoy the easy comfort of lying down. If you and your partner happen to be lying in bed facing each other, you’re already well on your way to nailing the Thirst. Simply pull each other closer, entwine your legs, and use your arms to wrap each other in a tight, intimate embrace. Find what feels good, and explore a little penetrative stimulation from there. Drape Happiness is an immediate outcome of hugging. Though hugs seem a simple expression of joy or supportiveness, they also have health benefits ( 1). Hertenstein, M.

Hugging leads to the release of certain hormones, such as oxytocin and cortisol, that help fight off infections. Higher levels of stress may also affect the body’s immunity adversely. Hugging reduces stress and thus improves immunity too.
