英国诺森比亚大学研究人员招募了19对夫妇,进行为期3周的按摩课程培训。课程开始之前、结束时以及完成3周之后,要求参与者分别报告他们的身心健康状况、对压力的感知及对两性关系的满意度。研究小组发现,相互按摩的情侣,彼此压力都显著降低,情绪更积极,身体健康状况也更好。他们都报告比在外面寻求技师按摩效果更好。 Researchers at Northumbria University in the UK recruited 19 couples for a three-week massage course. Before, during, and after completion of the course, participants were asked to report on their physical and mental health, their perception of stress and their satisfaction with the gender relationship, respectively. The team found that couples who massage each other were significantly less stressed, more active and better physically. They all reported better results than seeking mechanics on the outside.
