Sex is more enjoyable when shared with someone you love and who loves you.

In that case, the search for emotional attachment is fully satisfied, adding another dimension to the sexual act.

And it's not really possible to feel nothing at all for your partner.

We all have feelings to some extent, but sleeping with someone you don't love or for whom you feel very little can have long-term negative effects.

Experts suggest that by cutting yourself off from your feelings, you risk generating feelings of loneliness, withdrawal from relationships, emotional exhaustion, loss of meaning in life and signs of anxiety or depression.

So should we be wary of this kind of behaviour?

Apparently so.

Increasing the number of one-night stands can lead to getting used to a certain type of physical sensation, to the detriment of building a balanced intimate life.

While sex without love might be okay temporarily, it might not be fulfilling in the long run.

Is sleeping in bad for your health?

Thanks for asking

I don't know about you, but for me, not having to set an alarm on a Saturday or Sunday morning is really one of life's simple pleasures.

With my packed work schedule and family life, I often don't end up getting as much sleep as I need during the week.

So it's really tempting to try to catch up on that sleep debt over the weekend.

But then I heard about these studies that have shown that weekend lie-ins can actually be harmful to human health.

Well, a study published in NPJ Digital Medicine in 2021 suggested that lying in on the weekend can affect your mood and increase the risk of depression.
