STUDY: Husbands Who Do the Household Chores Have Less Sex...

[vesper]

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.

LOL, not true for all households, obviously!

Study last year found the opposite

In ours, it's definitely foreplay....

[Anna Michele]

I agree maybe if we had some help with the work there would be more time for play

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Yep, I agree with Anna and Nat.

DH isn't allowed to do the shopping (he's horrible at it) but cooking? Heck yes! And I'm very appreciative.

[erin9mmm]

Oh I disagree!
Husbands who help are appreciated more. In turn the wives don't feel taken for granted and and are happy their husbands notice and care enough to help - big turn on!

Was that story written by a man trying to get out of doing housework??

[anisa]

sheesh, another thing for men to whine about because they are feeling sorry for themselves

have they forgotten just how much they don't have to do in these modern times when women are more than happy to carry heavier workloads than in yesteryears?

when it's the women who are wiped out by the end of the day from doing all their chores, it's ok cause all she has to do is lie back and take it lol.

heaven forbid a man should be too tired at the end of the day to give it

Men in the study reported having had sex an average of 5.2 times in the month prior to the survey, while women reported 5.6.
But both men and women in couples with more traditional household labor divisions said they had more sex.
"The results suggest the existence of a gendered set of sexual scripts, in which the traditional performance and display of gender is important for creation of sexual desire and performance of sexual activity," Kornrich said.
However, the study's authors stop short of arguing that house husbands should hang up their aprons.

Strangely, the women are reporting more sex than the men.
