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

Posted on 09/08/2009 11:27:48 AM PDT by JoeProBono

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."

And all this time, I thought it was because they wanted to visualze ceiling color coordination.

I thought it was so they could visualize pillow case/sheet coordination. ;)

What can I say? I’m a working mom with three kids, who does most of the parenting myself, because my husband is working incredibly hard himself. So yeah, sex isn’t on my mind a whole lot.

That being said, I make sure to keep him happy and satisfied. It’s not that sex is on my mind a lot, but keeping my hero, my husband, happy....That’s always on my mind. As a result, we’re a very happy couple.....

Trash goes out twice a week at my house.
PLUS, recyclables on Wednesdays!

And I bet you still get 'NO' for an answer.

take advantage of my once virulent body

Virulence (also called pestiferousness) is the degree of pathogenicity of an organism.

Dude, ask Santa for a dictionary for Christmas.

No not true at all IMO.

Even more so for a chaste single for life woman.

I am worse than a man (who have no sex life) at the watercooler chat.

Drives all my married friends batty.
Yet they like looking at the eye candy (not husbands).

I tell them they take sex for granted, take it away for years and bet they would be at the watercooler panting too. : )

Isn’t that what he said?

Perhaps you would have preferred he said ‘get a’ instead of ‘keep the’?

I would like to know if most men get offended and why when the woman says Thank You

I once said Thank you to a school yard bully after he finished beating me up but that was only because he had finally stopped hitting me. Maybe there's a correlation there? :)

...young women who wanted nothing more than to take advantage of my once virulent body

I hope you didn't really mean that!

" Stop dating liberal chicks and you’ll be fine! ;) "

No truer wisdom than this for a man to take heed to.
