Want a better orgasm? Keep your socks on!

Here at the editorial office, opinions are rather divided: is it okay to wear socks during sex? Some find it terribly unattractive, others don’t give a damn. Then, of course, there’s that one person who thinks he can get away with anything as long as he wears his EasyToys socks. But science has a fact for us that will make us change our minds… You will have better orgasms with your socks on!

The science of warm feet👣

The explanation for this somewhat strange fact is quite simple. To be able to cum, it’s important that you feel safe and at ease. By keeping your socks on, your feet are warm and can contribute to this feeling of safety. When you feel nice and comfortable, you’re more likely to climax. It’s also possible that you’ll come faster than if you leave your socks on. Sounds very logical.

“In order to be able to cum, it’s important that you feel at ease. Warm feet can make a positive contribution to this.”

This discovery was made during a study that initially had a completely different purpose. In the study in question, the brains of voluntary participants were scanned during (and before) an orgasm. To do this scan, the participants had to lie in a medical scanning machine. For a good scan, the participants had to take off their shoes and socks, but during the study it turned out that the cold feet of the volunteers did not contribute to a positive result (i.e., an orgasm). With their socks still on, it was much easier to reach a climax. Although, of course, we also understand that it’s a bit harder to come in a hospital with scientists watching your fingers (or hands 😉).

Fear & orgasms

Besides the fun fact about socks, the research yielded even more interesting results. It turned out that the amygdala (the area in your brain responsible for fear, ed.) is completely ‘off’ when you experience an orgasm. This is the most important conclusion of the research. So, next time I spot a spider, I’m going to masturbate. It doesn’t have to be one of those giant Australian creeps, because if you experience too much fear, it can be difficult or even impossible to reach orgasm. But when you do experience an orgasm, you are rewarded with a huge decrease in anxiety. Besides the usual pleasure, of course ; -)

“The next time you see a spider, masturbate.”
