A study published in the February edition of the American Sociological Review concludes that husbands who engaged in more traditionally masculine chores — yard work, trash collection, home repairs — tend to get more action in the bedroom than those who gravitated to the more feminine tasks around the house — cooking, cleaning, etc.
“Our findings suggest the importance of gender display for sexual frequency in heterosexual marriage: couples where men participate more in core tasks — work typically done by women — report lower sexual frequency,” the researchers wrote. “Similarly, couples where men participate more in non-core, traditionally masculine tasks report higher sexual frequency, suggesting the importance of gender-typed participation in household labor.”

How about woman fighting on the front lines in the military ........PS women get ready to sign you girls up for Selective Service at 18 just like the boys do BY LAW.
hmmmm. well, how about women working outside the home and then coming home after work to clean the house and the handsome guy is "lounging" watching t.v. or playing video games, etc. not good is it?
i'm sure this study was done by a man who doesn't want to help his wife with the duties of the home after she worked all day away from home.
As soon as I get thru cleaning the house, I am going to show this to my wife.
If he does not work but I do, I would expect him do to chores inside and outside of the house. He has the same 8 hours a day to either work outside of the home or at home. If the situation was reversed, I would take care of the inside and during the summer, also cut grass and do yard work. In the winter, I would shovel snow and clear the car off while he was showering to go to work. I can promise him one thing, if, after working 8 or 9 hours a day, I come home with dinner cooked and dishes done, a clean house, I would be willing to have sex before we ate dinner!
I don't know about this but i'm looking for a new wife after 22 years of what I have been dealing with.
So true 1136AM. If I had a husband that was home all day while I slaved away at the office all day, five days a week (maybe six) I would be furious if I came home to dishes in the sink, dinner not started, grass not cut, etc etc etc. I had one like him years ago and his excuse was "well, I did not know what to fix and I can't cook"...baloney! AFter putting up with him sitting on the sofa while I fixed dinner, cleaned up the dishes, (and then he would expect me to "take care of him), he was history!
