Pillow talk is the relaxed, intimate conversation that often occurs between two sexual partners after the act of coitus, usually accompanied by cuddling, caresses, and other physical intimacy. It is associated with honesty, sexual afterglow, and bonding,〔E. Raynor, ''The Happiest Woman'' (2011) p. 37〕 and is distinguished from ''dirty talk'' which usually forms part of foreplay. Pillow talk, more broadly may also refer to conversations between parties that may be of a more casual and flirting nature, and are not necessarily engaged in a physical relationship. A line of research done on pillow talk has revolved around the hormone known as oxytocin. This “bonding hormone” is related to other effects, such as decreasing stress, decreasing perceptions of social threat, increasing bonding, and increasing the ability to read emotional cues. 〔Denes A. Talk: Exploring Disclosures After Sexual Activity. ''Western Journal of Communication''. Vol. 76, Iss. 2, 2012/〕 This hormone has been known to increase in the body proceeding sexual activity between two people that have reached the point of orgasm. The individuals involved in this act of coitus can benefit from this process by opening up in a sense of communication and trust. A study done by Amanda Denes (2012), shows that partners who orgasm are more likely to engage in the act of pillow talk versus partners who do not orgasm. Disclosure is a key word when referring to pillow talk. This is part of developing a relationship, but can be difficult for some to do. There are several risks and benefits that accompany disclosure. Most of them go hand in hand. It all revolves around risk-benefit analysis. This concept is centered on the idea that revealing private information is risky because it makes people feel vulnerable.〔Denes A., & Afifi T. D. Pillow Talk and Cognitive Decision-making Processes. ''Communication Monographs''. Vol. 81, Iss. 3, 2014.〕 Pillow talk is a direct way of practicing disclosure. ==Content== The content of pillow talk typically includes the sexual act itself, stories and confessions, expressions of affection and appreciation,〔F. A. Ramos, ''Enigma'' (2007) p. 70〕 and playful humor.〔R. L. Weagley, ''Wallace'' (2011) p. 353〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「pillow talk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
