Smart wives use sex play to tire men: study

- STAFF REPORTER

EVER THOUGHT getting your husband to fall asleep from exhaustion would save your marriage?

Wedded bliss can be interrupte­d when the bedroom is no longer a love nest but rather a place to discuss everyday tasks and just sleep.

A recent study by the dating site for married people, Victoria Milan, has revealed how much time a “clever” woman puts into keeping her husband satisfied so there’s less chance he’ll stray.

Over 12 000 men, who are active members of the site, were asked how long their wives and partners spend pleasing and teasing them in the bedroom, and how creative their partners are with love games.

Some of the adventurou­s games that the partners dabbled in included playing with and eating fruit, alternatin­g ice and warm sensations on skin, experiment­ing with playful sex toys, licking melted chocolate and whipped cream from each other’s bodies and streaming sexual acts for the pleasure of unknown strangers.

According to the study, a woman with relationsh­ip longevity in mind keeps things fresh by ensuring the marital bed remains a place of pleasure, and she uses it as such for hours in the evenings.

It seems the sexually smart woman knows that the longer she occupies her husband, the more she will exhaust him and reduce the desire he might have to go and spend his sexual energy with another woman.

For this study, men from 21 countries were surveyed and the Irish came out on top. Irish women apparently spend the most time warming the bed for their men.

On average, Irish women spend 152 minutes taking care of their man so his eyes don’t wander.

Still in Europe, Swedish men are almost as fortunate, as their wives will dedicate 135 minutes to pleasing and exhausting them sexually.

Polish women are no fools and know they need to keep their husband busy in the bedroom to avoid him being tempted by other beautiful Polish women: 131 minutes per bedroom session are spent ensuring he’s sexually satisfied.

You could set a timer to how long a German frau will spend time fluffing about in the marital bed: 130 minutes are assigned to amorous activities.

Germans are known for their kinky, boundary-pushing boudoir behaviour.

The Italian señoritas dish up 126 tasty, tantalizin­g and tempting minutes when they pin their husbands down in the bedroom. Italian women are generous but also jealous and will go to any lengths to please their man.

Danish, Swiss, Greek women also spend over 120 minutes pleasing their beaus.

Back home it’s said that South African men are given no reason to stray or even look at other women, considerin­g their wives give them 102 minutes of adult attention each time they head for the mattress.

Founder and chief executive of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, said clever women will exhaust their husband with foreplay and keep their knowledge of adventurou­s sexual trends up to date.

“There’s an old adage from a mother to her daughter: in order to avoid your husband being interested in other ladies, you should spend all your husband’s money and ensure he is sexually exhausted and doesn’t even have the energy to look at another woman,” Vedal said.
