Men Find Women More Attractive During Winter Months

The colder weather isn't all bad!

It’s definitely gotten colder over the past few days and while it means adding a few extra layers and getting the hot water bottle out of the cupboard, it’s not all bad news.

In fact, there’s one reason the colder months can work in our favour… apparently men find women more attractive during the colder months.

A study from a few years ago found that men were more aroused by revealing pictures of women during December, January and February than they were during June, July and August.

It also discovered that men in the same relationship over the course of this time period found their partners more attractive in the winter than the summer.

(In other words, people have more sex when it’s cold.)

While there was no definitive reason for this, experts at the time believed that it could be to do with the fact that we reveal less skin during the winter therefore when they see it, it is more arousing.

The study was conducted by Lovehoney and published on The Psychology of Human Sexuality blog.
