Turning On Your Partner's Taste Buds Is The best Way To Heat Up Your Love Life

Seven in 10 people polled in a new survey agreed that whipping something up for their partner in the kitchen is far more intimate than having sex.

See, I don’t need to have sex with you honey- I show you how much I want you with bacon and peas…

The study asked 2,000 people in a relationship how cooking plays into their relationships and found 79% believe good food is the most surefire way to someone’s heart.

The ability to cook is so important, in fact, 43% of respondents said they’ve ended relationships in the past if their partner was a bad cook.

When it comes to finding a potential mate, in addition to being kind and having a good sense of humour, cooking is considered one of the most attractive traits a potential partner can have.

When it comes to date night, almost half of couples prefer to cook at home. 

In fact, 73% agreed certain foods are more romantic when cooked at home – with chocolate and strawberries topping the list of “sexiest” foods.

Forty-five percent said the top disagreement they have with their partner is where to go out to eat and 35% often quarrel over what to cook for dinner.
