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."

I guess they interviewed all the lower IQ people they could find for this one.

Why do men buy baubles and bangles for their women?

To keep the piece at home.

You mean they don’t do it because they think I’m a Greek God? :0

With the divorce rate hovering around 50%, most marriages are now loveless......it would then make sense that lovemaking was being used for other reasons......

Didn’t need a government grant to reach it either....

Look on the bright side--at least the study wasn't on the reasons why women don't have sex. It would have taken a supercomputer and years more to compile that data.

“Anybody who’s been married more than three days knows this.”

How true. I’ve been married for 32 years, and my wife has finally accepted the fact that I can’t be expected to have sex three times a day, day in, day out. We’ve discovered new things to do for at least two of those times a day. Marriage is a learning experience.

I knew I was fighting for a reason.

Well, no. It's to get sex, later.

Almost 49 here, and my wife just told me the other night she wished we had a mirror on the ceiling - seriously! Of course - she might just be getting tired of the paint job. I hadn’t thought of that. :(
