The new study, published in the February issue of the journal American Sociological Review, shows that sex isn't a bargaining chip. Instead, sex is linked to what types of chores each spouse completes.
Couples who follow traditional gender roles around the house -- wives doing the cooking, cleaning and shopping; men doing yard work, paying bills and auto maintenance -- reported greater sexual frequency.
"The results show that gender still organizes quite a bit of everyday life in marriage," said co-author Julie Brines, a UW associate professor of sociology. "In particular, it seems that the gender identities husbands and wives express through the chores they do also help structure sexual behavior."

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.

The lace bra and panties are not helping.
Lol! That's seems like a nice excuse men use to not do housework.
Maybe correlation does not equal causation in this case.
I have the distinct impression that many of you folks here aren't married.
I also have the distinct impression that many of you aren't likely to ever get married, either.

Apparently not all marriages are like yours.

Oh, given that every marriage involves different people, I think that's a very safe bet, Esmeralda.
I find that when I cook for my wife that I get more not less sex

Cooking dinner, very good. Cleaning up after, even better. Good dinner conversation, even more better. If he does the shopping for the dinner, better and better. There's no way this would be a turn off for a woman. Unless she likes being mommy day in and day out. Some people need those traditional roles to define themselves.
