The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say: the more housework married men do, the less sex they have, according to a new study published Wednesday.

Husbands who spend more time doing traditionally female chores -- such as cooking, cleaning, and shopping -- reported having less sex than those who do more masculine tasks, said the study in the American Sociological Review.

In France perhaps. In my house, I do the laundry and change the bedding and my wife thinks it is sexy and I get some action! On fresh clean sheets.

The downside is you’ll end up changing the bedding more often, but it’s a small price to pay. :)

At least we don't have to put up with the nagging.......

As for the house cleaning, I don't think twice a year is considered "more"

Maybe it’s because they (men) are too tired or have a headache.

Hmm, maybe that Darwin feller was on to something after all.

And then once a month he still gets his head caved in because he didn’t do it right!

It depends on how you do it: if you do it reluctantly, with grumbling and whining, well you're not as sexy as you thought.

If you shut the hell up and get it done, then you're more attractive.

Nothing gets the wife hotter than me outside cleaning the windows. I take of my shirt to let her see my manly physique. It makes the neighbor kids stay inside, so the neighborhood is nice and quiet.

I don’t know about you, but I find it embarrassing to bring a woman home to a filthy house. And the ones that wouldn’t mind, I probably wouldn’t want them to know where I live.

I think this observation wouldn’t come as a surprise to the pickup artists that subscribe to the game philosophy.

Men and women are emotionally and psychologically hardwired to queue off of masculine and feminine signals.

I gotta disagree with this one. My wife comes home to a clean house with the laundry done, rooms vacuumed and all the dishes done and put away and later it’s like I got trapped in a rowing machine.

I do draw the line at cleaning toilets though, no matter how sexy she does the wink and nod thing...

Good women don't want submissive men. Never have. Might get the housework done easier ... but it certainly doesn't get the blood flowing south.

Help her out with the housework occasionally. Just be damn sure she's not helping you out with the housework. Women like help. They don't like men they can whip.

You've obviously never met my ex-wife.

I don’t think helping the wife take out the garbage is a bad thing unless you make the mistake of letting her back in the house......
