Socks during sex has always been one of those incredibly cringeworthy things that has been laughed about by groups of girlfriends, derided in women's magazines and downright frowned upon by, well pretty much everybody. Wearing socks during sex has even been cited as one of the top 5 reasons women would cheat on their husbands.
Socks have always been considered inherently unsexy and it is generally a bedroom crime committed by men. You will never find Hollywood condoning socks in a hot sex scene but what Hollywood doesn’t know (and I didn't know until this week) is that socks are directly linked to orgasm, especially female orgasm.
A study done by Dutch researcher, Gert Holstege M.D. Ph.D, found that socks promote warmth and comfort, feelings associated with calming a woman’s amygdala and prefrontal cortex — the brain areas responsible for anxiety, fear and danger signals. The areas that need to be suppressed in order to acheive orgasm.
Science aside, and trying to ignore that automatic cringe, there is something quite cute about a smoking hot guy in nothing but a pair of white athletic socks. It'll take some getting used to but I think I'm coming around to the idea of sex with socks on.
