1. You’ll feel more relaxed

What’s the one thing all people—specifically women—need in order to have an orgasm? That’s right. We all need to be relaxed in order to climax. Otherwise, our bodies just won’t let it happen. That’s where socks come in.

Studies show that women need certain areas of their brains to be relaxed in order to finish. When you wear socks to bed, you’re keeping a level of comfort that’s allowing you to be completely relaxed.

This means that there’s a better chance of you orgasming than if you don’t wear them. [Read: Orgasm during sex – The surprising reasons she’s not having one]

2. Cold feet can be very distracting, but sex with socks on solves that

A distraction can be the worst thing for someone who’s trying to get off by getting on their significant other. It’s been proven that having literal cold feet can be just as distracting as leaving the TV on or your phone going off in the middle of your bang sesh.

By wearing socks, you’re not allowing your feet to drop down to a temperature that you’d be distracted by.

3. Socks are cozy and could reduce anxiety

Anxiety comes from many different things. When it comes to sex, it definitely arises from the thought of being uncomfortable and completely naked. Sex with socks on can work wonders in reducing your anxiety. [Read: Relationship anxiety – 20 mistakes you need to stop making]

It’s like a blanket of familiarity giving you some peace of mind while getting naked with a lover. Less anxiety leads to more orgasms and a better sex life.

4. You’ll be less insecure about your feet

This one is especially true for women. There’s just something comforting about not being 100% naked all the time. Or maybe you hate your feet and didn’t have time for a pedicure. Now, your feet look terrible and you’re super self-conscious about it.

Keeping your socks on alleviates a lot of those self-esteem issues. [Read: Effective ways to stop being so needy and insecure]
