Housework or a good spanking?

To spank or not to spank?

According to researchers at Northern Illinois University, those couples who engage in S & M (Sadomasochism activities) feel 'closer' after the activity. The researchers found that couples who 'spank or tie each other up" feel 'closer' afterward, in spite of increased stress hormones. This S & M activity also includes bondage and flogging.

Richard Wiseman, a British psychologist, says it was 'probably the shared activity' that encourages the mutual closeness. Noting that the same feeling of closeness could be hypothetically gained by something 'as simple as cooking a meal together or even doing housework.' However, Wiseman did not participate in the original study by NIU.(The Week).

Whether or not Wiseman's assertions that shared housework would bring couples together in the same way as S & M activity (as found by NIU researchers)is still speculative.
