We have good news for anyone who wants to be at the top of their sexual A-game but doesn’t want to make drastic changes to their routine. According to two new studies that looked at factors affecting those with sexual dysfunction problems, sleeping more and watching more porn might just be what the doctor ordered. For women, a little more time in between the sheets—sleeping, that is—could help them to want to get it on more; and for men, watching more porn could help to jump start their libidos.
One study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that for every extra hour a woman slept, she increased her chances of wanting to have sex by 14 percent. And for men, the study found that watching porn may increase “…desire and arousal in normal, real-life sexual situations with their partners.” So, despite the myth that porn desensitizes men and decreases their need for the real thing, the opposite may actually be true: “Viewing more sex films was associated with a stronger sex drive, including the desire to have sex with a partner, so sex films may be able to ‘stoke the fire,’” said one researcher. If anything these studies show that porn (and a good night’s rest!) can definitely have a place in a healthy sexual relationship.
