There is more to physical intimacy than making out and sex. It is believed that cuddling with your partner is beneficial to your health and is good for your relationship as it enhances the bond between the couple and makes them emotionally closer. Here are a few benefits of cuddling.
* Instils a good feelingOxytoxin is a feel-good hormone which is released in the body while cuddling. The toxin released in your brain makes it function better as it keeps your mind happy. Furthermore, cuddling also releases endorphins which are chemical substances released in the body post exercise or consumption of chocolate. They are known to stimulate feel-good vibes and keep you happy.
* Makes one feel incredibly sexyCuddling is an activity which is usually practised prior to sex or after it. Cuddling releases a toxin called dopamine which increases sexual desire as it is a hormone that renders sexual excitement and raises your sexual drive.
* Controls blood pressureOxytoxin is a hormone that reduces stress and increases the emotional connect between your partner and you. Less stress leads to controlled levels of blood pressure. Thus, hugging and kissing can help you decrease tension and keep a calm mind.
* Enhances communication with your partnerCuddling offers an excellent method of non-verbal communication. You let your body and eyes do the talking. This helps you in understanding your partner better and for him to do the same with you. Isn’t it always nice to have someone who understands you without you having to spell everything out to them?
