Being naked while wearing socks is not a good look. At all. It’s an un-rockable look, no matter how cool your socks are or how many hours you spend in the gym. But socks might help you achieve orgasms more easily, at least according to a new study.
Elite Daily reports that there are people out there who like to keep their socks on during sex., which is a travesty, but whatever. These people feel like socks provide warmth and help them have better orgasms. Research conducted by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands studied 13 heterosexual couples between the ages of 19 and 49 as part of an experiment involving how men and women achieve orgasm. During these tests, couples had to stimulate each other while a researcher looked at their brain waves. Clearly, this was a very European study.

On the first run, only half of the couples managed to orgasm. Maybe it was the controlled environment, or the fact that the couples had some Peeping Toms, but researchers decided to give socks to the women to make them feel more comfortable. Surprisingly, there was a 30 percent increase in orgasms.
Researchers believe that socks facilitate orgasms because they make women feel safer, giving them coziness and warmth. Socks also help dilate the blood vessels in your feet, allowing for better blood flow.

Maybe there’s some relationship between wearing socks and having orgasms, or maybe the women from the study achieved orgasms because they’d been going at it for a while. Either way, if you’re having trouble with your orgasms, socks could provide an answer for you. You won’t look cool, but you’ll feel good.
