Ever wondered what is the passion mantra of couples who keep throwing suggestive glances at each other at social dos?
Well, they don't actually possess any magical potion, but keep their love quotient strong by making an extra effort to spice up their love formula.
Today's hectic lifestyle demands more of everything - more money, more education and more efforts to keep the sparks alive in your relationship. We have heard about sensual lingerie, exotic aroma oils and aphrodisiacs; but there are a lot of other uncharted elements left to explore.
We bring you the much-talked about relationship trends of 2008, which sometimes surprised and sometimes affirmed the age-old love beliefs...
Live-ins: More girl power?
The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act was amended to include protection for live-in partners from abuse. This time, the National Commission for Women has recommended that other sections of the law be changed to give greater protection to live-in partners in case their men leave them without any financial support.
They have recommended that a live-in partner get maintenance if she can produce sufficient evidence of a 'long-term' relationship, and her status is at par with that of a wife. They have also recommended that adultery should no longer be grounds for denying maintenance.
Intelligent men get the best sex
When it comes to picking up a bed-mate, women prefer intelligent men to dumb jocks, according to a new study of hundreds of university students. The research led by Mark Prokosch, an evolutionary psychologist at Elon University in North Carolina suggests that women looking for both one-night stands and long-term relationships go for good looking and intelligent men. "Women want the best of both worlds.
Not only a physically attractive man, but somebody in the long term who can provide for them," New Scientist quoted Prokosch, as saying.
'Foreplay may be overrated'
According to a study conducted on 2,360 Czech women, the act of foreplay is overrated. The study claims that when it comes to the likelihood of having an orgasm, foreplay has little or no significance. The research's findings suggest that sex therapists, who emphasise the value of foreplay, may have that been getting it wrong.
However, if legends like Vatsayan are to be believed, for a sexual intercourse to be a perfect experience, a prolonged and sensual foreplay is most important. Since time immemorial, tales of making love have abounded with instances of immaculate foreplay that is considered to be the most fundamental part of best sex.
Intimacy rules men's sex lives
'Closeness' and 'intimacy' are the most valuable things in the sex lives of men, according to a global study. The survey involved more than 1,000 committed couples aged in mid-life or older, from the US, Spain, Japan, Germany and Brazil, reports the NZPA. They were asked about the importance of their relationship, sexual behaviour and the role of sex in the health and life satisfaction of men and women, independently. And men returned stereotype-busting results on the question of what they derived from sex.
