That's according to some research. Here is a bit of it:
"Households with a more traditional gender division of labor report
higher sexual frequency than households with less traditional gender
divisions of labor," says Sabino Kornrich, lead author of a study that
appears in the February issue of the American Sociological Review.
"Housework is something that people use as a very important way to
express gender, masculinity and femininity. We weren't surprised to
think that sex might be more tied to this type of gender expression."
If my husband and I are not having sex....it is not because of chores. It's because we are damn tired.
What do you think about this?
Quoting Lorena:
I do not agree. If I see my dh doing the dishes ir scrubing the floors I want to jump him right then. On days that I do all the house work there is no sex in this house I am way to tired.
I don't find him doing housework "sexy" but I do appreciate that I have a husband that takes equal responsibility. Honestly, I wouldn't have married him unless I knew he could (and will) clean as much as I do. There are days he does more just like there are days that I do more. I don't relate it at all to sex.

well, I guess my perspective is the way it is because we both work full-time so I wouldn't like it if I came home and was the only one cleaning. There would be a whole lot less sex if that happened. haha
Quoting Lorena:
In all reality I find everything he does sexy. However, as a sahm I am the one who does most of the cleaning and he works. If he is cleaning I find that extra sexy because he is doing it to show me that he values what I do and wants me to have a brake even if it is that I don't have to do the dishes. It is really not tjat he is cleaning but the thought and meaning of it.

I guess the folks in this study never heard of chore-play....
I will say this: now that I'm a SAHM, I feel cleaning is part of my "job" and don't expect my husband to do as much of it as I did when we were both working outside the home.
