Well, it certainly appears that the level of housework a man does in a relationship with his spouse or significant other definitely proportionately relates to the amount or frequency of sex that he is having with said partner.  And why would these two seemingly unrelated items be related in any way? Well, I’m sure if you ask any women she’d tell you the answer. 

It is because it is one of women’s number one complaints in relationships and marriages with men, is that the man does not do his fair share of the housework and she ends up resenting him for that, and whether it be consciously or subconsciously, she ends up with holding sexual interaction with him because of it.  Of course, other factors may enter in as well, but housework remains one of the number one tension creators in male and female relationships.

Throw into the  mix the fact that women have picked up a lot of the financial responsibilities in the household as well, and it’s no wonder women are feeling frustrated.  Whether men want to admit it or not, they actually still expect their female counterparts to do the majority of the housework, the cooking, cleaning and child rearing if there’s a child involved, and women are starting to report that they are feeling not only worn out from doing it all, but also resentful toward their partner if they are not picking up their fair share of the housework.

But men have been picking up the slack as it has been reported by various studies and surveys, because men have about quadrupled in their housework capacity over the past few decades, thanks to changing ideals and the fact that most women are out in the work force.  It’s no longer the happy, simple situation in those old sit coms like Leave it to Beaver, where June Cleaver was home all day cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids and has dinner all ready when the guy walks in the door.  Oh no, women are out in the work force and contributing financially to a couple’s home and bills, so things have changed dramatically in the paradigms of what a man and woman’s “duties” are in the household. 

Men are getting better, women are saying, but they still feel they get the brunt of the housework, and if you want to keep your lady happy, not only should you be getting her some female sexual enhancement helpers like chocolates and flowers, but you should also be pitching in more around the house.  Apparently it’s an often overlooked aphrodisiac for women!
