Couples want emotional intimacy in their sex lives, new research has suggested.
In a poll conducted by YourTango and Durex of more than 1,000 people, 96 percent surveyed said that the best sex they had is with someone with whom they were able to get emotionally connected, the Huffington Post reported.
In addition, 92 percent said that when their partner displayed vulnerability it was a turn-on for them.
The respondents confessed that the top confidence boosters were being with someone that they love, which was followed by their feeling good about their sexual abilities and when their partner complimented them.
90 percent of those surveyed said that they believe sex can get better over time.
People also said that the top 3 requirements for having great sex is physical attraction, emotional intimacy, feeling secure and loved.
