Spooning cuddles offer numerous benefits, primarily stemming from the release of "feel-good" hormones.
Here's a breakdown of the benefits:
- Releases Feel-Good Hormones: Spooning triggers the release of oxytocin (the "cuddle hormone" or "love hormone"), dopamine, and serotonin.
- Oxytocin: Promotes bonding, reduces pain, and relieves stress.
- Dopamine: Associated with pleasure and reward.
- Serotonin: Contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness.
In short, spooning provides comfort, reduces stress, and fosters a sense of connection between partners.
