Several studies\u2014yes, actual research\u2014are out there exploring the connection between wearing socks in bed and sexual pleasure, with one notable study<\/a> conducted by researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. The study found that couples wearing socks during sex were 30%<\/strong> more likely to reach orgasm when compared to their bare-footed counterparts.<\/strong> On the surface, this sounds like a bizarre fact<\/a>, right? But it boils down to some basic human biology and environmental comfort.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a reason you may have heard that cold feet lead to discomfort in bed<\/strong>\u2014because it’s true. When your body becomes uncomfortably cold, particularly at the extremities, blood circulation shifts. Your body moves blood away from its peripheries (like fingers and toes) to keep core organs warm and functioning. In the process, your body can become more tense, making it harder to \u201clet go\u201d and be fully present during sexual activity.<\/p>\n
