Study shows men who do household chores have less sex
Sabino Kornrich—of the Center for Advanced Studies at the Juan March Institute in Madrid—is the lead author on a study that examined how the breakdown of household chores among heterosexual American couples translates to sexual activity. Basically, he wanted to see if men who do laundry and mop have sex with their wives as frequently as dudes who are all, "Argh, me no vacuum."
Bad news, you guys.
"Couples in which men participate more in housework typically done by women report having sex less frequently. Similarly, couples in which men participate more in traditionally masculine tasks -- such as yard work, paying bills, and auto maintenance -- report higher sexual frequency."
Essentially, the results of the study suggest that guys who wear aprons have sex less frequently.
"The results suggest the existence of a gendered set of sexual scripts, in which the traditional performance and display of gender is important for creation of sexual desire and performance of sexual activity," Kornrich said.
Kornrich went on to warn, though, that earlier studies indicate that a woman's happiness in her marriage is affected by her husband's participation in household chores. What?! So, women expect to have the household chores divvied up evenly and have their husbands exude qualities that can arouse them sexually? THE HORROR! [France24]
This is discouraging.the reason you have a wife is to have someone to do the chores. You have sex with the girlfriend or your wife's sister.— Ouwachon- @towman--Great, classic answer.— orange rhino
- women are impossible to please— mystikast
- Rhino - Thats why you get a fixer-upper. You're doing manly things like laying tile and putting up drywall. You never have to clean because there is construction going on.— towman
- Hannibal you womens libber. Commercials are for getting oral sex. During the game she brings you the beer and opens it for you.— towman
- And what about single guys who clean their own home--but only once a month or every six weeks? How did they score on the sex frequency test? When a guy works 12--16 hours a day, he does not feel like going home to polish the silverware or run a dust mop along the ceiling.— orange rhino
- If women are more attracted to the guys who do "masculine" things like work on the car, does that mean they are even more attracted to guys who get into motorcycle gang fights? Armed robbery is a real macho enterprise--do women reward that?— orange rhino
- I do all of the housework, because I don't work out of the home. The only thing I don't do is mow the lawn - mower is way too big for me. But my man still helps out with stuff - he lived on his own for a bit and I think men who do are the ones who are the best catches - no right from mommy to wifey business.
As far as the sex stuff - I don't get it. I want to have sex with my husband. I have plenty of friends who complain about it and I don't get it to be honest. It's fun, free and it feels good. Even when you think you're too tired as soon as you get going all is good.— lulu - You guys make me laugh. Just because a guy assists his spouse with the necessary chores of running a home doesn't make the guy feminine. If both spouses are employed outside the home shouldn't the home workload be shared? So if the wife helps outside with yard work, shoveling snow this makes her masculine? I am a widow since 1996, and I had to learn to do everything. I had to either do the chores myself or pay someone to do them. I tried to mow the lawn, clean up leaves etc, but didn't have the physical strength. I was barely able to start the mower, so I broke down and hired a landscaper. But I shovel snow in winter, take out the trash etc. However those who know me, know that I am a very old fashioned lady. I am very girly if that is a good term. I do what I must to make my life work. So please hold back the stupid comments that guys helping around the house become effeminate. As someone else indicated, those who are macho and would never wash a dish or load the washing machine probably stretch the truth about their sexual prowess.— RandiRN
- I prefer to clean the house while I'm busy doing "the kinky stuff".— CaptAwesome
- Think about it.
Just because they don't have sex with their wives doesn't mean they aren't having sex.
He may not be inspired to have sex with his wife after pushing a broom and a mop around the house but what's he doing away from the homestead?— He Visto Todo - 'Cause they're girlie-men!— Barbouze
- Ladies- if you want power in the workplace, power in the home, you'd better be willing to accept and adjust your expectations of men. In every relationship dynamic there's always a slightly more dominant one, whether it be straight, gay, whatever. There's no room for two type-A's. Men take a lot of grief for wanting women who are Martha Stewart in the kitchen and Jenna Jameson in the sack but it's just as unrealistic for women to want Mr. Sensitive who'll wash dishes unprompted and then get you all sweaty later.— Santa Satan
- You see men another Urban Myth debunked. There is no science to having more sex with women. They have it and dole it out only when necessary. They Lord it over every man on the planet. Men should go on strike or form a Union. Then the Union can negotiate better terms for the men. Maybe we can turn to science and have them make us Stepford Wives with an on-demand button. Good Luck --Suckers!— A. Martinez
- NOW!— DaIBelieveU
- There could be some misleading data at play here... "Manlier" men who limit themselves to "masculine" tasks, are probably also more likely to lie about how much sex they are having (that is, they lead on to having more than they really do). What this voluntary question/answer research? Or was there more proof of actual sexual activity?— toph314
this is why the only thing i do around the house is grab a beer out of the fridge when there's a commerical during the game— hannibal barca- Guys who wear aprons have sex, they're just catching instead of pitching.— uncle meat
- You see, there is no way to please OR understand a woman.— justinh66
