Question:
Does cuddling after sex help boost sexual and relationship satisfaction? A study involving 335 participants involved in romantic relationships found that people who reported more time spent on cuddling and affection after sex were more satisfied with their sex lives and relationships. This fact held true for both men and women. The average amount of time spent cuddling after sex was 15 minutes, and time spent on after sex affection was more strongly associated with sexual and relationship satisfaction than time spent on either foreplay or sex itself.
(a) Is this an observational study or a randomized experiment?
(b) Can we conclude that spending more time on affection after sex increases sexual and relationship satisfaction?
(c) A headline for an article describing this study was titled “To Spoon or Not to Spoon? After Sex Affection Boosts Sexual and Relationship Satisfaction.” Does the study support this title?
(d) The title of the scientific article in which the study was originally published is “Post Sex Affectionate Exchanges Promote Sexual and Relationship Satisfaction.” Does the study support this title?
