Why should men not be close to their wives when they fall asleep?

Most women may be afraid of having to leave without a husband next to them. However, according to a new study, that is actually better for them.

British scientists discovered that the presence of a partner can increase a woman's labor pains. In fact, they do not detect any pregnant women who reduce the feeling of labor when having a husband or partner on the ground in case studies.

The team of experts from 3 University College London, King's College London and Hertfordshire University conducted 39 experiments.

Each research subject will receive an uncomfortable laser pulse in the finger while the husband or lover stands next to it. The team monitored the electroencephal activity of women and asked them to assess the strength of the stimulus pulse on a scale of 11.

Experts then repeat the experiment with the change is, the man will not stay with his wife / lover, but to another room.

The results revealed, the pain experienced by women was never reduced with the presence of a partner / lover. In fact, in many cases, the pain experience has even increased.

Some previous studies have suggested that women do not have to use a lot of painkillers after they are in labor if their labor is at the side. However, the authors of the new study say the conclusion is incorrect.

According to them, the discovery just published in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience should be considered as a basis for doctors to change recommendations for pregnant women.

Dr. Charlotte Krahe, head of the new study, explained, the nature of the relationship between men and women has affected the pain experienced by women. Those who try to build intimate relationships are most likely to feel pain when "half" is near.

Dr Krahé said: "We are very interested in the role of forms of searching or avoiding closeness in an individual's emotional relationship. We want to check whether this type of attachment can deciding whether your partner's support increases or decreases the pain experience.

The results show that individuals who avoid intimacy can feel the presence of others breaking their preferred method of dealing with threats. This can ultimately increase the experience of individual pain. "
