afterglow
Given the well-documented benefits of satisfying sex, it might seem surprising that most couples in long-term relationships engage in sexual activity relatively infrequently, typically only once or twice a week. This infrequency raises an intriguing question: how can sex have such a profound and lasting impact on a relationship if it is not a daily occurrence? This observation suggests that individual instances of sexual intimacy might have psychological effects that extend far beyond the immediate moment, significantly influencing overall well-being in the relationship. To explore this idea, researchers sought to understand more about the phenomenon of “sexual afterglow,” the lingering feeling of sexual satisfaction following sexual activity. […] Scientists discovered that the positive “afterglow” of sex can linger for at least 24 hours, and it’s especially powerful when sex is a mutual decision or initiated by one partner, while sexual rejection can unfortunately create a negative ripple effect lasting several days.
Does literature advance one funeral at a time? We have analysed a corpus of over 23 000 books by more than 6000 authors and arrived at an answer that is more nuanced than a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The turnover of cohorts does play an important role in the change of literary topics, but the role of authors’ retirement is not large, being twice as small as the effect of the arrival of new authors. Literature does not advance one funeral at a time—it advances one birth at a time. The arrival of new authors with fresh ideas is enough to keep the wheels of literature moving.
