Men prefer cuddles to sex: study

From correspondents in Washington

December 1, 2003

 

HOLDING hands and cuddling are rated more highly than sex by the average American guy, a new survey claimed today.

 

The survey found 31 per cent of respondents believed "emotional intimacy" was what American men most wanted in a romantic liaison.

 

A lower number of respondents, 23 per cent, said sex was a man's number one priority in taking a hot date out for a candle-lit dinner.

 

"Good times" ranked third, supported by 17 per cent of those surveyed.

 

Just two per cent of those polled said gold-digging propelled men into showering a woman with flowers and chocolates.

 

However, more women than men believed male suitors sought "trophy dates".

 

"The survey shows the disconnect between men and women on intimacy issues. While both men and women rank emotional intimacy first, far more women believe that sex is a man's top priority in a relationship," said Sean Murphy, author of The Spirit Man and the survey sponsor.

 

In a breakdown between men and women, 35 per cent of men and 28 per cent of women placed emotional intimacy as the highest male relationship priority. However, 19 per cent of men and 27 per cent of women ranked sex as most important to men in a relationship.

 

"Women don't give men a lot of credit in terms of emotional intimacy," Mr Murphy said.

 

The poll by national research firm Synovate questioned 1000 adults between November 21 and 23. The survey has a five per cent margin of error.

holding hands and cuddling are cool, before and after sex, not as a replacment. physical and emotional intimacy are inextricably linked for me.
