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

Looking to please your partner? Start in the kitchen, not the bedroom.

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.
