More Chores, More Sex?

Do men who help out around the house really get more in the bedroom....

{title} If your man is not getting enough sex, maybe it’s because he hasn’t done the laundry or taken out the trash for awhile. Sound crazy? According to researchers, it’s not.  The mop-and-glow report by the Council on Contemporary Families suggests that men who wash the sheets or clean the toilet have a better chance of getting lucky with their lady.  According to the a recent report, “If a guy does housework, it looks to the woman like he really cares about her - he’s not treating her like a servant,” said psychologist Joshua Coleman, who is affiliated with the Council.  Coleman cautioned that the flip side could be worse than scrubbing the toilet.  “If a women feels stressed-out because the house is a mess and the guy’s sitting on the couch while she’s vacuuming, that’s not going to put her in the mood,” said Coleman, author of “The Lazy Husband: How to Get Men to Do More Parenting and Housework.”

The mop-and-glow study also shows that men are finally connecting the dots, tripling their output of housework and child care in the past fourty years.

“Men and women may not be fully equal yet, but the rules of the game have been profoundly and irreversibly changed,” concludes the report, written by sociologists Scott Coltrane and Oriel Sullivan.

Heather Peterson, a spokeswoman for the Cambridge Women’s Pornography Cooperative, said the report corresponds to what she and her colleagues have been preaching. “This is what women love to see. It’s hot, quite honestly,” said Peterson, whose group recently produced the book “Porn for Women” - a series of photos of hunks doing various domestic chores, as quoted in the New York Daily News.

I think this makes perfect sense. If a woman feels appreciated and like she is truly in a partnership she’ll be happier and friskier.

Let’s face it, if a woman is less tired from doing housework and her career
she’s going to feel more like sex. It’s not the activities that the man
is doing.  It’s the fact that he’s helping.
