How do cars affect human psychological health and sexuality? The influence of automobiles on arousal has been extensively studied since the early days of the modern age when the automobile became an accessible commodity for most people. Many studies have examined how car ownership affects individual's self-perceptions, attitudes toward others, and sexual behavior. This article will explore some of the most significant findings from research into car-related topics related to sexuality and psychology.
The first research on this subject was conducted in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It found that car owners were more likely than non-owners to experience higher levels of excitement during sexual encounters due to the association between the vehicle and its driver. Since then, there have been many similar studies showing that owning or driving a car can lead to increased feelings of power and dominance which may impact one's sexual desires and behaviors. Cars are often seen as symbols of status, wealth, and success; therefore, it is natural for drivers to feel empowered while driving them. Studies also show that individuals who own or drive fast cars tend to be more attractive than those who don't. In addition, research suggests that men with sports cars report greater satisfaction with their sex lives than those without such vehicles.
Women appear less interested in purchasing high-end cars but still report higher levels of satisfaction when they do so. Women who enjoy driving tend to experience more intense orgasms than those who do not drive at all.
One theory explains why cars may increase embodied eroticism. The driver becomes aware of lateral G-forces when cornering, increasing body awareness and pleasure during arousal. When we turn corners quickly in our automobiles, our bodies shift around inside the cabin causing us to feel pressure on different parts of ourselves, including our breasts and genitals. This sensation leads to an increase in blood flow throughout the entire body and heightens sexual stimulation. As we know from previous studies, increased physical movement increases arousal levels and drives us towards sexual engagement. This means that turning corners in your car could help you get turned on!
