A study of 2,000 UK adults who stream audio content found nearly a fifth have been using tunes for a romantic date night with their other half while stuck at home. And men have stepped up in the love department the most, with 22 per cent streaming romantic audiobooks and music compared to just 14 per cent of women. "Higher Oxytocin levels may be the reason listeners are keen to be more romantic with their partners during lockdown." The study also found younger generations have been enjoying passionate tunes, with a quarter of millennials using audio content to spice things up. Just over a third on higher incomes have used audio content to set a romantic mood, compared to 14 per cent of streamers on lower salaries.
