Secret's out: why women really have sex
news ^ | September 08, 2009

FOR every woman expecting the earth to move, there are two with more practical motives.

From relieving boredom, to keeping the peace or curing a headache, women have sex for many reasons but romance and passion come rather low on the list, a new book has revealed.

One woman even admitted to having sex just so her husband would put the rubbish out.

"Research has shown most men find most women at least somewhat sexually attractive, whereas most women do not find most men sexually attractive at all," Why Women Have Sex authors Cindy Meston and David Buss said.

Having apparently discounted physical attraction, the 1000 women interviewed by the Texas University professors gave a huge range of reasons for sleeping with a man.

One said she did it for a spiritual experience, proclaiming: "It's the closest thing to God."

But mostly the explanations were far more mundane, with 84 per cent admitting to having sex just to ensure a quiet life or to bargain for household chores. One woman said: "I have sex to relieve the boredom because it's easier than fighting. Plus it gives me something to do."

Oft repeated, loud, and mutually enjoyable. But it was “sex.” Not love. And very empty and unfulfilling.

Sounds good to me!...:o)

It's a progession along the Vicky Mendoza Diagonal. The hottness generally stays the same, but the craziness invcreases, until she crosses the diaganol -- preferrably before she boils your bunny.

So if we have sex because we enjoy our partner, we are not in the “norm”?

You are betraying your fellow females by saying that! Women won't get what they want out of men if men get the idea women actually enjoy sex!..This article is typical time-worn propaganda.....;o)

Has this cheapening of sex made it impossible for many men to grow up and have a normal heterosexual life with a good woman?

So are you suggesting that paying a lot for sex is what keeps men normal?..:o0

Yes, some women don’t like sex very much. I’ve known a few briefly.

OH, I get it.

Ok.

I swear off sex due to lack of interest and enjoyment.

There.

How’s that?

I have to say that most of the women I've "been with" really seem to like sex....and it sure isn't because they get money out of me!

Hi Niteflyr.

It’s simple, if you get it, you will get it. Lots of men have no clue.

I don’t think its so much that lots of men have no clue, I think it is more of they don’t realize a good thing until it is gone.

Maybe can be construed to be an extension of not having a clue but I know those who come back later and say, “If only I shoulda, coulda, woulda”.

Their loss, unfortunately.

I’ve only known one woman who didn’t actually like sex(I’m 67 BTW), the rest I’ve known all enjoyed it(not necessarily with me)with their partners. The old myth that women don’t like sex is just that, a myth. As for women not finding men attractive I have to call BS on that too. You realize of course I am talking most women, not all.

Sometimes I wonder about these “studies”.

Personally, I find this one kind of hard to believe.
