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."

“One woman even admitted to having sex just so her husband would put the rubbish out.”
Why that would mean once a week!
Hot dog!!!!
This study just confirms the old saw: Women need a reason; men need a place.
3 days? First words out of my first wife's mouth after she said 'I do' was..."Not tonight."
I suppose it’s too much to suggest the possibility that women have sex because they enjoy it....?
Yeah bummer for your wife.
I found this out when I was young too.
So I chose to keep the peace in my home by staying single and chaste.
I would like to know if most men get offended and why when the woman says Thank You after a pleasurable encounter.
My cynical opinion of the reason women have sex: $
I have lived most of a lifetime with young women who wanted nothing more than to take advantage of my once virulent body and also, my good nature. It was a sickening sight when I was a younger man.
It’s rubbish, sir irish! We DO find men sexually attractive, and I’m sure you are both a hunk and a nice fellow.. women are probably just intimidated by the fact you are an intelligent conservative...stop dating liberal chicks and you’ll be fine! ;)
Why do brides smile walking down the isle? Because they will never [insert sexual remark here] ever again.
What’s the old saying...”Women give sex for love and men give love for sex.”
Sure we do, especially when we're expecting a 15% tip. ;)
Then I have the perfect anniversary or birthday gift for her: A vacuum cleaner and maybe even a cordless drill.......
Trash goes out twice a week at my house.
PLUS, recyclables on Wednesdays!
See if she angles it at the television. Also check to see if she’s got the remote control in her hand when she starts making love.
It's been 39 years and I still have my jar of quarters!!
I don’t believe the results. Although the statements may be true, the truth is it’s about relationship. Duh!
Only if they are single. You need 3 or 4 to date cause they only get sexy a few days out of the month.
