Other women: the secret of monogamy
A new study from the Gestalt Institute in Italy confirms what we???ve always suspected about European men: they???re dogs. The survey of 1,000 Italian men concluded that an overwhelming 72 percent have a flirtatious bond with at least one co-worker. But here???s the catch: all that flirting actually strengthens their relationships with their partners.
"There are a number of reasons frequent flirting at work can be good for you," says Isadora Alman, of www.askisadora.com. First of all, it promotes what sex therapists call simmering, meaning it helps to keep you sexually excited all day long. So you're more eager to have sex with your partner once the workday is over. It can also help to reduce workplace stress and anxiety.
But the biggest reason flirting is good for men, according to Alman, is because it helps to boost our egos. "Being able to flirt successfully is a great boost to a person's self esteem," says Alman. "If you feel good about your self, and can flirt without crossing borders your partner has set (or jeopardizing your job), you're going to become more confident and self-assured. And that boost in confidence and sexual energy can make you more attractive and more desirable to your partner," she says.
