The New York Post reports on the results of a sex study that says basically, we’ve got it all backwards: men want to be cuddled and women want sex. A new study by the Kinsey Institute found that men are more likely to want to stay in a relationship that features a lot of “tender kissing” and snuggling. Women, on the other hand, are more likely to stay put if they’re being sexually satisfied. Both men and women were more likely to report being satisfied with their relationships the longer they laster.
