Contrary to conventional wisdom, cuddling and caressing are more important to men than women in a long-term relationship, according to a new international study. Researchers, who studied responses from adults in the United States, Brazil, Germany, Japan and Spain, also discovered that men were more likely to be happy in their relationship and that frequent kissing or cuddling was an accurate predictor of happiness for men. "I was a little surprised," said Julia Heiman, the director of Indiana University's Kinsey Institute, which conducted the study that will be published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal. "Some of the stereotypes we have are borne out of what we feel comfortable believing -- that men prefer sex, or women prefer intimacy over sex, for example," she added. The researchers examined more than 1,000 couples aged 40 to 70 from the five countries who had been together for an average of 25 years. Unlike men, women were happier as time went on, according to the findings. If they had been with their partner less than 15 years they were also less likely to be sexually satisfied but that percentage rose significantly after the 15-year mark.
一项新的跨国研究发现，在长期感情关系中，男人比女人更喜欢拥抱和爱抚，这和传统的观点大相径庭。 研究人员调查分析了美国、巴西、德国、日本和西班牙五国的成年人后还发现，男人一般在感情关系中更快乐，经常亲吻或拥抱说明男人确实感到很快乐。 该研究是由印地安那大学金赛研究所开展的，研究结果将发表在期刊《性行为纪要》上。金赛研究所的主任茱莉亚•海曼说：“我有点吃惊。” 她说，“我们所持有的一些成见是因为我们觉得这样想更舒服，举例而言，我们愿意认为男人更喜欢性交，或是女人更喜欢亲昵的行为。” 研究人员调查了五个国家的1000多对夫妻，他们的年龄在40至70岁之间，在一起的平均时间为25年。 研究结果显示，随着时间的流逝，女人会更快乐，而男人却不会。如果女性和伴侣在一起的时间不到15年，她们对性生活的满意度不会像男性那么高，但是过了15年这一关口后，对性生活感到满意的女性比例则会显著上升。
