What Women Seek Most in a Sex Partner
March 2, 2008For women, love is more important than sex. And for men? It’s all about sex.
That’s the word from an Australian study on health, intimacy and social relations. Nearly 1,800 men and women–heterosexual and gay, married, single and cohabitating between the ages of 18 and 59–were asked to rank the qualities they valued most in a bedroom partner.
Although both men and women agreed they wanted someone who is interesting, fun, companionable and shares common interests and activities, the primary findings broke down sharply by gender lines:
- A woman prefers to be with someone who loves her.
- A man wants someone who enjoys sex.
Ah, we’re such a pragmatic lot. Sexual technique emerged as a low priority. "Sex was preferred with someone who enjoys the experience, a quality quite distinct from technical lovemaking ability," Najman told The Age.
Other interesting findings:
- Younger people prefer someone who is fun to be with.
- Older people want a partner who cares about them and enjoys sex.
- Married people care most about enjoying sex and having sex with someone who cares about them.
- Homosexual males place the highest emphasis on someone who is fun and enjoys sex.
- Both men and women care least about looks, financial status and intelligence.
The study findings were published in Marriage and Family Review.
I have read this to a website and it is interesting for me that’s why I post this article.
