Married men who do more housework get less sex

[240 is Back]

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.
 
"Our findings suggest the importance of socialized gender roles for sexual frequency in heterosexual marriage," said lead author Sabino Kornrich, of the Center for Advanced Studies at the Juan March Institute in Madrid.
 
"Couples in which men participate more in housework typically done by women report having sex less frequently. Similarly, couples in which men participate more in traditionally masculine tasks -- such as yard work, paying bills, and auto maintenance -- report higher sexual frequency."
 
His study, "Egalitarianism, Housework, and Sexual Frequency in Marriage," looks at straight married couples in the United States, and was based on data from the National Survey of Families and Households.

Has this been peer reviewed???

Maybe if the man cooked naked and served breaky in bed with his penis on the plate, he might get alot more wild sex.

I don't mind sausage for breakfast once in a while.

Married people have sex?

I could have man sausage every morning.  Perfect start to the day.

These men probably have low testosterone levels anyway...hence the propensity to do housework.

It's weird because I remember reading an article not long ago stating the exact opposite.  That men who did more housework got more sex out of their partners.  What's happening here?  Are the women wearing the pants now and not desiring their thoughtful partners?

Again, was it peer reviewed???

I have no idea but I actually prefer to do the housework.  I love a man cooking for me, but that's about it.  Everything else I want to do except change the lightbulbs and take the garbage out.

what about cooking tons of chicken breast, rice and broccoli, and portioning them into plastic tupperware boxes with a digital kitchen scale? Do wives find that sexy?

Only if you do it while being naked.

Married people have sex?

Yes.  Usually with other people.

That's funny.  Sex should be on tap when you are married...or you would hope it is anyway.

It just gets old with the same person.

The reason for this phenomena is obvious. If you give your wife the impression that she can call the shots (i.e. doing the housework/cooking etc more than just to 'help her out a bit') then she will dictate when you both have sex. Dudes need to man the hell up

[Red Hook]

Most of these "studies" are entered into with a predetermined out come. Then it is just a matter of asking the right question to the right demographic to support said desired outcome.

It's like asking only republicans an Obama based question, then report that his approval rating is such and such

i wonder what the site Jezebel has to say about this...

[Tapeworm]

A woman on heat is a hell of a thing.

[Purge_WTF]

I remember reading that wives find their husbands most attractive when they're doing housework. 

I was worried about never being married because of my personal choices. (I don't want kids.) Needless to say, I don't worry as much now.
